1Corinthians 10:14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. It is fear that would lead anyone to pursue worship of a deity symbolized by human hands. It is easy to say for those of us who were born into christian homes. It may not be that simple for those who were born into families where idol/graven image worship was acceptable. In Isaiah 43, God shows how stupid it is to worship graven images: Isaiah 44:9-20 How foolish are those who manufacture idols. These prized objects are really worthless. The people who worship idols don’t know this, so they are all put to shame. Who but a fool would make his own god— an idol that cannot help him one bit? All who worship idols will be disgraced along with all these craftsmen—mere humans— who claim they can make a god. They may all stand together, but they will stand in terror and shame. The blacksmith stands at his forge to make a sharp tool, pounding and shaping it with all his might. His work makes him hungry and weak. It makes him t...

Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? What ensued this statement from Bro. Paul? People do not understand what grace means. People merely define grace as unmerited favour, however the question is, for what? Let us look at how our Messiah, Jesus the Christ described God's expectation from us. Matthew 5:20  For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. We are not expected to fare less than the scribes and Pharisees; We are not expected to fare like the scribes and Pharisees; More is expected from us! Matthew 5:20  For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. So 1 Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends...

1 Corinthians 3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? One of the major reasons for division in the church is the differences in revelation. For one knows a part another grabs another part and thus we have variations. However, are they wrong? Some are, all are and all are not! 1 Corinthians 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. We do not know all! However the foundation is sure. 1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. My take is that every gathering should be a completeness of all part and a gift does not make a gathering or a "church". It is a church when all gifts are present and work in harmony. Selah! Yes, there are many fake sects, that are not called of God, or called but have derailed. For where there is a counterfeit, there surely exists the original. However, for those who are walking in the truth, they must ...

Exodus 15:11 "Who is like You, O LORD, among the gods? who is like You, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? There is always a reason to give God praise, for He holds all things together. He has the final say. This is why David sang: Psalm 150:6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! Yes that we are alive, is a reason to give thanks. One thing that looks common for one, is a testimony for another. For we are human and our needs differ. One thing is certain, there are three major things we desire after life: good health, peace and joy. This Christ has promised us that we have through His Spirit. John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Romans 15:13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Therefore let us not allow mundane thin...

Psalm 25:10 All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. The nature of God had been revealed again and again through the time of old and a few whose hearts were focused on Him could enjoy His mercy and truth, one of them was David. Psalm 25:12  What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way [that] he shall choose. Some at that time would have said, "I have kept the law that is enough". However it was them (their soul) that God sought for, that they may seek Him. The focus was to be on God and not ordinances: Psalm 25:12 What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way [that] he shall choose. Thus David prophesied that the revelation of that great secret will be to those who feared the Lord: Psalm 25:14 The secret of the LORD [is] with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. See how He began the Psalm: Psalm 25:1 Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. We must be...

Isaiah 12:1 And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me. The awesome hymn written by a lawyer, William Cowper in 1768, comes to mind. 1 Hark, my soul, it is the Lord; 'tis thy Saviour, hear his word; Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee, 'Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me? 2 'I delivered thee when bound, and, when wounded, healed thy wound; sought thee wandering, set thee right, turned thy darkness into light. It is the story of God reaching out to sinners by releasing His Word to become flesh that flesh can relate with Him and return to Him. Yes man was rejected by God because of sin, yet it was not man that God rejected but the sin in Him. So the sin had to be removed that we may return to Him. (technically man actually rejected God by disobedience!) Psalm 32:2 Blessed [is] the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit [there is] no guile. God cleans ...
