There are what we call, “Means of grace” available to every believer. One of the greatest mysteries to me regarding my faith is just how this sanctification exactly works. Whenever I enter into contemplation on the idea I must confess an overwhelming sense of loss of any ability to comprehend it. How far can one go in grace? No one can do anything unless it comes from above, John 3:27. No man jus...  Read More

Without the Person of Jesus there is no Christianity! No one could replace Him as the proponent of The Way. Any other "prophet" could've founded any other system of religion, but Christianity could not have been started or endure with anyone but God the Son Himself. Jesus, in His very nature even from His birth, along with the other two members of the Trinity, is one of a kind.      See, Mohammed ...  Read More

The revival of Lazarus from the dead found in John 11:1-44 is incalculably rich in its display of power and truth for Jesus. It is an incredible story. It was not at all random. Its grandeur never even entered into the minds of the people present. No one had the wherewithal to ask Jesus for such a miracle.

Sometimes it is, but Christian there are two ideas I want to s...  Read More

The problem is that he’s nine feet down from the side. Even with everyone’s outstretched arms there’s still several inches between his fingertips and the end of the rope. They can do nothing but urge him ...  Read More

Here’s an excerpt from a book I’m writing:     Can I honestly say that God “wants” Judas Iscariot saved in the same way He wants Peter saved? I can’t. Peter would betray Jesus. He was warned, Luke 22:31-32. He was restored, John 21:15-17. Judas was given no such warning, and no restoration was sought. After he willingly did what was prophesied of him (Psalm 41:9) he killed himself and was later sp...  Read More
