    COVID and church

    The passage from Matthew refers to those who come in the name of Jesus and preach a different Gospel. Those who let themselves to be affected by God's Word will give the fruit that the Holy Spirit yields, whereas those who preach just to show themselves bear fruit that does not come from the...

    Hebrews 12:1

    "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us..." Imagine yourself in a running competition against others. Everybody is on the...

    Faith : Update

    It is not possible to separate faith and grace, and just concentrate on one or the other. If we are saved by grace through faith, than it is important what one puts his faith in. Otherwise, there is no grace. First, one believes, and because of the faith in Jesus, he is saved by the grace of...

    Galatians 6:2

    "Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." This is another verse that I love so much, since it has to do with relationships especially in the body of Christ. If we are part of this body, we gave to fulfill His law. First of all, what is His law? We know...

    How does one "receive" Jesus and His subsequent power?

    One is filled with the Holy Spirit in the moment is salvation, not when speaking in tongues. Speaking in tongues is a manifestation of being filled with the Holy Spirit, and the interesting thing about it is that it is a manifestation to those around you rather than something one possesses. In...

    How does one "receive" Jesus and His subsequent power?

    Yet, experiences are why many believed in Jesus. However, I believe that people too often want to see the experiences right here, right now, instead of letting God work in their lives. When people give God the liberty to work, they will have the experiences they are looking for.

    How does one "receive" Jesus and His subsequent power?

    The Holy Spirit will come and live in those who believe in Jesus, this being the promise Jesus made to His disciples before leaving them-that if He goes, He will send someone to guide and comfort. "Receiving" Jesus simply means believing that He is the Son of God and that His blood had the...

    Is God Really All Loving?

    There is a difference between punishment and judgement. Punishment is meant to correct and bring one back in the relationship with God. This is what God does so that we do not get to be judged. Judgement is the final verdict. This is what happened in the time of Noah and what will happen as...

    Is God Really All Loving?

    I live by the motto "God loves the sinner but hates sin.". When one says that God is all loving, it is very important to be specific what He loves. In Hebrews, God is described as a loving father who punishes his children for their good. PUNISHMENT IS ALWAYS OUT OF LOVE. He also knows that we...

    Isaiah 43:2

    "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze." Have you ever passed through circumstances that seemed to be more than you...

    Numbers 6:24-26

    “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”  We always say that we are blessed when things go "right", but not when they go "wrong". We tend to interpret one thing or another as...

    WHO IS THE CHURCH OF GOD? ****

    The Church is the body of Christ. It is a fact that Apostle Paul persecuted the Church, just as it is a fact that he contributed to planting some local churches, but the body of Christ and the Church of Christ are one and the same thing. Christ is the head of the Church, and the Church forms...

    1 John 4:19

    "We love because he first loved us." Whenever I think about our relationship with God, the idea of marriage comes to mind. Ever since after the man"s fall, God has tried to restore the relationship he had with his most prized creation in the garden of Eden. To this end, He created a people of...

    Those who deny Eternal Security

    The problem today is that there is no more confrontation, whether because it is classified as "judging others" or because others are equally guilty, and they would rather see their fellow believers fall and be like them instead of helping themselves come out of their pitiful state and help...

    The Trinity definition

    The utter redundancy of having three all-powerful persons in the Godhead, when only one is required to create the universe, answer all prayers of all mankind, involve Himself in all manner of intervention, providence and maintenance of the universe, and all its inhabitants. If God does not...

    Hebrews 11:6 NIV

    "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Have you ever tried to be pleasing to someone you love, especially when you know that "someone" loves you very much, and you wouldn't...

    Matthew 28:19 NIV

    "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit..." A song from Matthew West depicts a conversation between the author of the song and God, where the author says, "God, why don't you do something?", and God says, "I...

    Colossians 3:1-3 NIV

    "Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God." Teaching his disciples, Jesus said at one...
