Scriptures:   Deuteronomy 23:18-23 [18] Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow:for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God. [21] When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee. [22] But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee. [23] That which is gone out

Greetings! Almost 10 months ago, in April 2012, I thought that I could deliver in another form, weekly writings on the scriptures which could be available to members of our congregation and the world at large via our web site. The Lord led me to write on the Spirit of God in Action (The Holy Ghost) from the Book of Acts chronology by Dr. Luke. These writings have been a tremendous blessings to me, as I read, digested and re-wrote again, the various events of the early church from the day of Pentecost in AD 33. I am

Focus thought: Laying hold on the blessings designed for the church [13] When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? [14] And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. [15] He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? [16] And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. [17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art

I have been teaching on the subject of the “Oneness of God” for the pass month and this powerful, yet often overlooked scripture came to me again. It states in strong terms that God is One. Let’s see:Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one (Galatians 3:20). What is in it so powerful? The concept of a mediation, which Paul contrast with God. This is great stuff. Allow me to explain.According Strong’s online Greek Lexicon “Mediator” is from the Greek word “Mesithes 3316”, pronounced “Mes-ee′-tace”, which means a go-between, that is one who

And then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming; even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them a strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasures

“It will be tougher, but in your patience (perseverance and endurance), possess (lay hold upon) ye your soul (life in Jesus)” 19In your patience possess ye your souls (Luke 21:16-19) As I sit to meditate upon the word of God as they relate to the ending of the times(eschatology) I realize that the challenges though great, will significantly increase as we get closer to the end. However, be encouraged sons and daughters of Jesus Messiah because Jesus had told us that it is NOT POSSIBLE for the Elect of God to be deceived (Matt 24:24). I thank God it

Reflection on the life of a notable Apostle, Judas Iscariot. He was called and ordained an apostle by the Lord himself. (Mark 3:13-14). He was a preacher and one who had power to heal all manner of sicknesses and diseases (Mark 3:14-15: Matthew 10:1-4). Judas was in the company of Jesus for approximately 3.5 years. He witnessed miracles untold during this time. He was there when Jesus stopped the funeral procession at the gate of the city and returned that dead man to his weeping widowed mother (Luke 7:12-18) and he was also there at Jairus’ house when
