Hi there, So there are two specific things, that are an encouragement to us, while we dwell on Earth. These two things, the Holy Spirit gives, as consolation to us, for having faith in the Christ and His Resurrection. The first is simple: we simply do not enjoy sin, any more. Our sin is, as it...

Hi there, So this was a popular thread, back when I was posting on another board: Name something you like about a denomination (of Church) other than your own! I would post something myself, but I don't want to prejudice others' ideas. Are they (the other Churches) pro-active? Organized...

Hi there, So this is a thorny problem for me. I have known for some time that Ray Comfort preaches that the sinner needs to be convicted of the Law, before they are offered Salvation. That approach seemed fine to me, for some time, but I never really felt great about approaching people about...

Hi there, So there is an absolute gem of a truth, in the Bible. Jesus says "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father, but by Me" (from memory, John). The reason that this truth is a gem, is that it hits on the notion of relationship, in a way that no other words do. You...

Hi there, So I feel like this is a simple point to make, but perhaps there is more to it: after the Rapture, comes revivals of the Rapture. This is something even a child (who has come to maturity) could understand. The purpose of the Rapture is not to come and go and never come again. Rather...

Hi there, So the book of Revelation, was the first book of the Bible that I ever read (in its entirety) and I have stayed avidly mindful of what I have read there, ever since. But something has dawned on me, over the years (decades now), there really is no accounting, for the mystery of the...

Hi there, So I just wanted to point out a paradigm shift, from thinking about scripture, to retaining it - in your learning and memory. The Bible promises that the Holy Spirit will come to teach us all things and bring all things that Jesus said to remembrance. If the Holy Spirit comes to teach...

Hi there, So there is a pitfall, when it comes to the faith, that if you believe it (the faith), then there will be some concrete way to witness to it. Jesus on the cross, is a constant, so the theory goes, there must be some constant way to witness to Him. That is not so. Why is it not so...

Hi there, So this is just a simple distinction. On the one hand we are created by God. That is true. Indeed we are made in the image of God. Also true. But once created, there is a greater difference to look forward to: being made for the image of Christ. What does that mean? It means that our...

Hi there, So just to be clear, there is almost no time left. The world awaits the coming of the anti-Christ. The Devil is ready to feign worship of the anti-Christ. But there is a problem: no matter how much the Devil worships the anti-Christ, there is no way for him (the Devil) to stop...

Hi there, Ok so, we have this verse, where it looks like God is separating wheat from chaff (Malachi), but actually upon reflection, it is not clear that God is playing favourites, so much as extending a distinction - that brings contrast. The key point of fact, is that God does not say "I...

Hi there, So it occurs to me that there is a link between being a slave to sin and the pressure we feel to act, under the influence of sin. Basically we become slave to sin, hoping to gain the strength of God without God. In doing so, we discover that we do get some strength, and we can see it...

Hi there, So just a little thing to edify you with: the Devil has limitations. This is meant to encourage you; if you can resist the Devil, even more and more, you can be delivered of the suffering of this world. So what limitations does the Devil have? Primarily, he is impatient. God says in...

Hi there, So I am concerned for lost souls here; there are two types of soul: believing and earthly. For each of these there is a destiny, the believing soul heads to Heaven and the earthly soul tries to stand on Earth. Neither of these things is right or wrong, but as the Lord wills, so is...

Hi there, So there is a simple observation to make here: if the Holy Spirit teaches and brings to remembrance, the Devil will refuse to remember or be taught. As a going concern, that will make things quite difficult for the unbeliever and even for the believer, to the extent that they are in...

Hi there, So I had this idea in general, that we could all pray for dreams that would help - whoever. But I think it confused people what they should be praying they dream. So I have narrowed it down to just one person, who I will meet before the end of my life. I want to be accustomed to how...

Hi there, So I have Revelation in the back of my mind, whenever I am thinking about what is going to happen. Something that is said will happen, is that they will construct an image of the anti-Christ, which men will worship. Now how would they do that? Do you think? It (the image) has to be...

Hi there! So there is a mystery as to what we become, in Heaven. The Bible says "we shall all be changed". Part of that change: is Awe. When we learn to identify with the Lord on the Cross, we come to be in Awe of Him at the Resurrection. This plays out in our lives, we extol the Lord, try to...

Hi there, So I have been wrestling with faith, and how to have it, Evolution and how to resist it, and the Lord encouraged me to a point, where I think I understand. What I understand, is that if you believe in Evolution, more is required of you - why is more required, because greater faith has...

Hello there! So, there is a simple fact, at the heart of the tribulation: the mark the anti-Christ tries to take, is the mark that was already crucified, by the Lord Jesus. The anti-Christ is the man of sin, but the mark of sin, was already taken by the Lord. This causes the anti-Christ to...
