    The mention of faith in 1John 3:23 had reminded the Apostle John of the danger of intellectual and moral error. After the last paragraph, the mention of God’s Spirit gave him a form to clothe the discussion of truth and falsehood in its human manifestations.

    We are all fighting a spiritual battle, and deceivers are on the front line. To overcome, we must put on the full armor of God and follow the path to the Way and the Truth.

    Are you ignoring the spiritual battle taking place all around us? Many people are "and no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14, NIV). So, all the lies and deception become commonplace, just another part of life in this present age. Allow me ...read more

    Testing Spirits In The World

    Often we are led into error by our ignorance of the Word of God and His character. Often when we hear the voices of those in authority we believe whatever they say without question. Are we armed with, "the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God?"

    Testing Spirits Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Titus 3:3-5 “At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. “But when the ...read more

    Some believe that there is coming a world ruler, a personal Antichrist, who will appear shortly before the Second Coming of Christ. But what does the Bible say?

    “We should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.” That’s not a suggestion. That’s a demand .

    Monday of Epiphany Week 2020 It’s a good idea to read St. John’s words in this first letter perhaps every week of our lives, because in it we find the key to happiness and fulfillment. John says “we receive from [God] whatever we ask.” Hmm, that’s interesting. And we recall that Jesus Himself said ...read more

    If it does not match up with the Word then whatever you are experiencing or seeing is iniquity.

    Is not ironic that God leads us away from materialism yet in some places He is reported to manifest His presence with gold dust and diamonds? Angels are spiritual beings though they can manifest to haul Lot and his family out of Sodom and cook for Elijah. Yet, in all the manifestations of ...read more
