Free and Not Deceived!

“If therefore the Son shall set you free, you shall be free indeed.” (Jn. 8:36 NAS) For anything that God wants to give us, the devil will offer a counterfeit.  How can we avoid deception and walk in true freedom of the soul?  We have all struggled with habits or character flaws that leave usContinue reading “Free and Not Deceived!”

The Obedience of Faith

“Through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles, for His name’s sake.” (Rom. 1:5 NAS) I have always been intrigued by the expression “the obedience of faith”.  The Apostle Paul only used this expression twice in his letters, and both times are found inContinue reading “The Obedience of Faith”

Understanding Grace

“Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.” (2Pe. 1:2 NAS) I like to give special attention to the blessings we find in scripture.  In both of his epistles, the Apostle Peter prays for grace and peace to be multiplied to believers.  The modern-day church hasContinue reading “Understanding Grace”

Eastern Ways

“For You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with eastern ways.” (Is. 2:6) Since my early Christian Walk, I have been very sensitive to the influence of eastern religions in our culture, probably because I needed deliverance from it.  I came to the Lord as a young man experimentingContinue reading “Eastern Ways”

Dividing Soul and Spirit Part II

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.” (2Cor. 10:4,5) This verse tells us that strongholds of the enemy are “thoughts”. Continue reading “Dividing Soul and Spirit Part II”
