Some of the mysteries come forth in parables, symbolically as metaphors. Others are more directly referred to and require an understanding of spiritual things revealed only to the primary initiate (born-again) Christian. The Mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven are mysteries veiled, only the pure of heart can have them uncovered for it takes the […]

    The word “bowels” is an ancient word with its Hebrew root meaning softness. It has to do with feelings, even compassion. Here, in this symbolic inner place of our being, God has used the expression ‘bowels of mercies’ to tell us that this is where we may contact, discern our gut feeling, even […]

    Again, the written word shows an attempt of Satan to trap Jesus. The Pharisaical lawyer was used by Satan to see if Jesus, who came to set men free from the law, could indeed pin-point the greatest commandment in the law. Jesus, undaunted by this irreverent question, took the opportunity to reveal what […]

    It should be patently obvious by this parable that there are not only conditions to be met in our on-going relationship with God and in ‘working out our salvation with fear and trembling’ but also who it is that sets all the conditions in our walk with the Lord. It is too bad, […]

    5th Part – Virtue, Knowledge, Temperance, Patience– Brotherly Kindness – Love Among the dozen mysteries relayed to us in the New Testament two are called great.

    It is now time that we continue our Journey to Brideship by examining the rarified realm of the Spirit where the believer can be delivered from their own carnal degradation and be changed in the core of their being by being true partakers of God’s perfect Divine Nature. The very prospect of having […]

    Enter by the exceeding great promises which God has made to us that we may be partakers of the Divine Nature … The Divine Nature is built in us through trials and experiences of our faith. Its builder is the Holy Spirit, who as the master of our experience builds this tower of […]

Each and every Thanksgiving and Christmas for 22 years now I have gathered bittersweet that has grown on our property. I knew little or nothing about it, just that it seemed to be a nice natural, decoration for the fall holidays. In prior years I have always had to search for it as it grew […]

    There’s just something about a mountain, that reaches to the sky, That speaks of things eternal; of hope that never dies… A quick glance at the index of any biblical map will indicate at least twenty different mountains named in the Old Testament.

    A great part of our Christian life should be spent praying and waiting so that the Lord can bring out the truth about our own condition, our relationship with God, our relationships with others and our place in God’s overall plan of salvation. Jesus declared himself that being led into all truth is […]

    Just as the fruit of Love is needed as a nutrient for all the other fruits, temperance is an aggregate of all the fruits combined. Temperance is more than just abstaining from lusts and carnal appetites, though it is certainly that. We should be filled with the Spirit rather than wine. Temperance is […]

  I once wrote an article entitled O Ye of Little Faith discussing the five separate occasions when our Lord reprimanded His closest followers. I mentioned the incident when, crossing the Sea of Galilee, He twice rebuked them for being fearful (see Matt 8:23‑27/Mk 4:37‑41).  At another time when Jesus is summing up the horrors […]

    God wants His children to be free. This is one of the first dreams of true Fatherhood: freedom for the children. This is a testimony about the sort of freedom God is most interested in giving us – freedom from the weight of that personal sin which “so easily besets us.” It is […]
