Isaiah 65:20-23 centers on whether the prophet is describing the current “Church Age” or a specific future period if we are to reference an earthly Millennial Kingdom. In the mind of the 1st-century Jewish Christian I believe it was understood to describe a future physical reign of Christ on earth. Contextually speaking of Isaiah 65:20-23. […]

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.— Hebrews 4:12 I was looking at this familiar verse and revisited this verse […]
Faith, do YOU have it?
I would like to talk about Faith, what is faith? I hear many speak of faith as being a substance of sorts. In the book of Hebrews 11:1 it states, Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Many people like to use the word substance, personally, I […]
Joshua 24:15
This verse does NOT say nor implies that mankind has a “free will “, it does however mention something NOT being addressed. What do you do with other “gods”, are we to assume that there ARE other gods? He said “choose this day” yes, it is a command, a command does NOT imply any sort […]
Our Glorification
Will We Be Recognized? You heard it said, “be the better version of yourself” right? Well, there’s some truth to that statement but not in the way that you might think. As believers we one day will be just that, we call that “better version of yourself” glorification! I’ve had discussions with brothers and the […]

To Know God
It is important to know God because He is the One who created us. His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than ours so says the book of Isaiah 55:8–9. Our faith as Christians is a religion of revelation, and, Yahweh is a God who reveals himself through His Word. Sometimes […]
Is Your Profession of Faith True?
When we engage with others who profess faith in Jesus most of us take it for granted that it’s genuine. A sincerer profession may be true but a sincere profession does not equate to a genuine confession. Your profession of faith is contingent on your understanding of who Jesus is. When Jesus was talking to […]
The Light, Life, and Kingdom
I was thinking the other day of the Light that is in the world. This reference is found in John 1:4-5. This is not a lengthy explanation but hopefully a concise explanation. It reads, “In Him was life (Zoe: This word is used of the one who gives life, a life pertaining to the kingdom […]
Lazarus Come Forth!
The true story of Lazarus, the friend of Jesus. John 11:1-44 Jesus loved Mary, Martha and Lazarus, it was obvious what a great love He had for them but His responses and actions may have appeared contrary to those around him. In the opening He is told that Lazarus was sick, what did He do? […]
