King David, some 1,000 years before Christ, was inclined to do that which seemed good to him in bringing the Ark of God from Kirjathjearim to Jerusalem. After much preparation and with much joy he proceeded to do just that. A new cart was built to carry the Ark of God. As they were bringing the ark back to Jerusalem, the people sang and made music, rejoicing with all their might. Everything seemed beautiful until the oxen shook the cart and the Ark of God began to fall. Uzza

I believe divine healing is ordained by God for the church today. In the Bible I don’t find the slightest hint that it should be otherwise. This precious gift that God has given to the church has been misunderstood or misused by so many, that much of the church today shuns its practice. Might we now seek truth, build faith, and dispel fear concerning God’s healing. Sickness and disease do not always relate to our spiritual condition. Some causes are natural (contagious diseas

We, in the non-Catholic ranks, criticize the Catholic Priest for being addressed as “Father” when we ourselves address our clergy as “Reverend”. That’s hypocritical! Being called reverend insinuates a lofty and pious estimation of ones self. Consider what Jesus said when speaking of the Pharisees and scribes in Matthew 23:6-11: “They love the best places at feast, the best seats in the synagogues, greetings in the market places, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. But you

Some people, even in this land of plenty, seem to stay in financial trouble. Financial troubles often are an indicator of our need to reset our priorities. Often, foolish spending brings troubles. Many people bring financial problems from their old life when they become Christian. Trying to find satisfaction in worldly things, as lost people seem to always do, normally leads to tremendous debt. God has a unique plan for each of these individuals to gain financial freedom. Pra

Learn Physical Control When the body rules, then spirit rule is impossible.Fasting helps bring the flesh into subjection in all areas. Learn to fast and you will learn the way to lay off all sin. Fasting is the voluntary missing of a life need — food, drink, fellowship, rest, etc., for physical or spiritual benefit. Fasting is profitable in three ways: It rests and cleanses the system. In long-food-fasts body poisons, derived by wrong health habits, are burned away cleaning t

Many think of faith as some mystical force with which, if they could possess it wholly, they could be granted their every desire–a “genie in the lamp” type situation. Satan has moved so many so far from the truth. This line of thought teaches that a man can receive anything that he can convince himself of. That tickles the ear but brings condemnation when it fails. The teachers of this theory ALL fail to live up to what they teach. Romans 10:17: “Faith comes by hearing and he

“Eternal security”, being free from the possibility of falling from a spiritually “saved” condition into a spiritually “lost” condition, is a mythical state. Belief in it is used by some as a license to sin. The blood of Jesus, the one who made the “saved” position possible, has never been a friend to sin. but a destroyer of sin. Some, though not all, who advocate eternal security teach that once a man is saved no matter how wicked he becomes he is still saved. First, let’s e

Has God Foreordained My Future? Is My Eternal Destiny Already Determined? The scriptures clearly teach that He has not. There are events that He has foreordained and they have happened or will happen just as He has planned. Likewise there are events that will happen or not happen because He has given us freewill. Whether these events will happen or not is up to us. Our decision may not have been made as yet. Therefore it’s not yet known what we may decide. Let it be clearly u

Recently I read an article by an individual who is an adversary to the Christian faith. The article was about prayer. He very effectively discredited our act of prayer and the line of reasoning we use when we don’t see results. Of course, we commonly say when in these no-results situations, “Well maybe He said no, or possibly later.” That sounds good and is very possibly true, but could the savage who prays to the wooden god he has carved, not use the same line of reasoning w

Yes! But why, you may ask. In Exodus 7:3-5 God said he would harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply His signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, that the Egyptians might know that He is the Lord. Exodus 7:22, 8:14, 8:19, 3:32, 9:7, 9:12, 9:35, 14:8 are all times God hardened Pharaoh’s heart. Again, why? Exodus 9:16 says, “ I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth .” This was God’s purpose in hardening Pharaoh’s hear
