Where Satan is concerned, there are two dangerous extremes which we can fall into in the Christian life. One is to think too highly of him and to see him in everything we encounter and everyone we meet. The other is not to take him seriously at all and to disregard any knowledge of him or his kingdom. We are told twice in the New Testament that an understanding of Satan’s kingdom is essential to our spiritual success.
Read MoreA believer should have no fear of physical death. One of the reasons Jesus went to the cross and died for us was to redeem us from the fear of death: “…that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death that is, the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” (Hebrews 2:14, 15)

vs. 1 “Therefore, we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard.”
This is comparing New Testament saints to the Old Testament saints. Old Testament believers had a good covenant, but we have a better covenant. The end of that verse says, “Lest at any time we should let them slip.” The actual meaning of this is, “lest anytime we should drift by them,” and it is a picture of someone in a boat that just happens to drift by the port. They missed their port, they missed the mooring.
Read MoreThe ministry of angels has changed from the Old Testament to the New Testament. This is the theme of Hebrews, but especially the 12th chapter. We will compare the law under Moses and grace under Jesus Christ, Mount Sinai where the law was given, and Mount Zion which is so typical of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Read MoreAngels desire to look into the things we look into but they cannot understand it. In fact, more is said about angels in the New Testament than was ever mentioned in the Old. From the moment the New Testament begins in the book of Matthew, angels are on the scene. And throughout the Old Testament, they appeared from time to time, but more is said in the book of Matthew than just about all of the Old Testament combined about angels. Much less Mark, Luke, John, Acts, into the New Testament.
Read MoreWhere Can Wisdom Be Found?
Many people are full of the “in Him” truths — full of righteousness, healing, salvation and authority truths — but they don’t take care of the things in their natural life. We do live in two worlds: natural and supernatural. We still have to live on the job, the righteousness of God still has to change the oil in the car, and the joint-heir with Jesus Christ still has to make dinner. The prosperity and protection truths are a reality, but we still need to have wisdom in the natural, everyday life. That’s where the book of Proverbs comes in – wisdom for the nitty-gritty existence. The greatest man of wisdom in the Word of God apart from Jesus Christ is Solomon, so we’re going to study his writings.
Read More“All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful…” Literally, all things are necessary. All things are not profitable. But he does say, “All things are lawful to me… all things are lawful, but I will not be brought under the power of any.” The word power actually means the rulership or domination. “I will not be brought under the rulership or domination of any.”
Read MoreThe anointing with oil was very much a part of the Jewish culture. When Jesus talked to the disciples about anointing with oil, they were very familiar with the practice. Anointing with oil was found throughout the Old Testament but was not reserved for the sick.
Read MoreIt is good to know that even though we are part of a large family, God has not forgotten us as individuals.
Read MoreWhen Jesus went to the cross and died for the sins and iniquities of the world, he left one debt to the Christian. This debt will never be paid as long as we live. It is the debt of preaching the gospel to the world.
Read MoreJesus has been raised from the dead eternally. He was given a resurrection body and now He is the Great Shepherd of the sheep. The One Who was raised from the dead is the One Who can supply all of our need.
Read MoreThe Bible is generally silent on the time period when dinosaurs roamed the earth, however, there are several scriptures that may give us some insight. The flood of Noah’s day was actually the second flood that has come upon the earth. Both floods were sent as judgment from God
Read MoreThe story is of the rich young ruler. He was like a lot of religious people today, proud and arrogant. Religious people are the hardest to witness to because of their pride. Jesus had his best results with people off the streets, publicans, and sinners. Publicans were tax collectors and sinners were prostitutes. His worst results came from religious people.
Read Moren the last article, Jesus had been confronted by the rich young ruler who was looking to receive eternal life through his good deeds. Jesus quoted one commandment that this man couldn’t keep. It is the hinge of every other commandment. Every commandment rests upon this one. If you can keep this one, you can keep them all; but if you have broken this one, you have broken them all.
Read MoreAlthough Solomon never found the one true love of his life, he certainly was surrounded by many beautiful women (1000 wives and mistresses). Yet, he knew that godly women did exist, not only possessing outward beauty but inward beauty far greater, divine wisdom. His mother, Bathsheba, was one such woman. She was the object of chapter 31, the virtuous woman, whom he grew up to call blessed.
Read MoreThere were two requirements of Jesus during His life on this earth and those two requirements apply to us in our lives as well. First, we are called by God to do His will and secondly, to complete His work.
Read MoreMany proverbs will make natural sense. It’s not difficult to understand them, but to get the wisdom out of them will take the interpretation. So we are going to depend on the Holy Spirit. Natural intellect will tell you these proverbs are true. Yes, it may be a simple proverb, but to get the real wisdom out of it will take the power of the Holy Spirit. So proverbs are more than just simple sayings.
Read MoreChristians tend to over analyze the circumstances of life. On Christian television, there are those who appear to be experts about why “God sent catastrophes” to various parts of the world. There are actually two curses in this world that destroy innocent lives and property. Although the curse of the law exists, it is against individuals and not entire cities, states, or countries.
Read MoreThe purpose of Paul’s prayer from 2 Corinthians 13 was to instruct the Corinthian congregation about the individual ministries of the members of the godhead—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This New Testament prayer is filled with New Testament doctrine. The individual ministries of the godhead were unknown in the Old Testament. Old Testament prayers are filled with Old Testament doctrine. Look at this verse of instruction from Moses.
