    Illumination by the Holy Spirit

    A. WHY ILLUMINATION IS NEEDED 1. Two levels of writers, i.e., dual authors. The Bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit. “All scriptures is given by inspiration of God” (2 Tim. 3:16). Inspiration is the guidance of the Holy Spirit so that human authors wrote what God told them in scriptures ...read more

    In discussing True Wisdom, Paul presents the case in: 1 Corinthians 2:6–16 that we can understand the things freely given by God from the Spirit of God. Therefore: (1) True Wisdom is not Humanly Discovered (1 Corinthians 2:6-9)and (2) True Wisdom is Divinely Revealed(1 Corinthians 2:10-16).

    It is impossible for a lesser creature to understand a more advanced one. How can anything understand something more complex and advanced than itself? For a flea to understand a dog it would have to be at least as advanced as a dog. For a dog to understand a man it would have to be at least as ...read more

    Kierkegaard once said, "When you read God’s Word, you must constantly be saying to yourself, ‘It is talking to me, and about me.’” Is the Word challenging you? Convicting you? Bringing your life into alignment with God?

    The only evidence the Magi had as they entered the shabby surroundings of a manger was that this baby was being shined on by a star.

    I saw a comic strip recently about the star that guided the magi from the east. The star is nervous and sweating while placing a desperate 911 call, saying: “Operator, these three men on camels have been following me all night! I stop, they stop. I go, they go. I’m so scared….” The epiphany is ...read more

    In today's less we are told that the gospel is a very special kind of wisdom that can only be discerned by those who are spiritually mature, that is, by Christians.
