And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins. (Ephesians 2:1, KJV) Spiritual life is not the result of working; how can the dead work for life? Must they not be quickened [i.e. regenerated] first, and then will they not rather work from life than for life? (emphasis mine) Life is aContinue reading “Spurgeon on Righteousness by Grace through faith”

Deal With Your Unbelief – Don’t Excuse It!
If you read Matthew 17 where the disciples ask Jesus why they couldn’t heal the boy his response isn’t “Because of my divine will” or “it simply isn’t the right time” or “we need to bind the demonic strongholds over the town for several days” or “the gifts passed away with Elijah” or “you neverContinue reading “Deal With Your Unbelief – Don’t Excuse It!”
Run Through Romans (Intro)
I want to work my way through some books of the Bible, just giving a brief overview of each chapter and any highlights. The church is suffering from a lack of knowledge from the Bible. We know a Scripture here and a Scripture there, but we need to be able to know the context ofContinue reading “Run Through Romans (Intro)”

That surprised me because I always considered that it was obvious whyContinue reading “Without Faith it is Impossible to Please God”

In part II, we saw that some people are rocky ground. They receive theContinue reading “The Sower Sows the Word (III)”
Our Spiritual Initiative in Prayer
(In this quote, Kenyon refers to our spiritual initiative. What he means is our passion for the Lord. This is a powerful revelation about our passion for the Lord and our faith…) The hindrance to our spiritual initiative in prayer comes form the neglect of reading and feeding on the Word. It is evidence ofContinue reading “Our Spiritual Initiative in Prayer”
The Three Real Gifts of Christmas
Our family today decided to visit a church we had never been to before. There was a poster advertising their services in the local Christian bookshop and it seemed quite interesting. It was a beautiful carol service, mainly Africans with a couple of Asians as well. But it was something said during the preaching thatContinue reading “The Three Real Gifts of Christmas”
