Because … by now, I’ve realized how much more I am dependent on God’s grace than His Law. “The Law is holy and the commandment holy and just and good” (Rom. 7:12). But … it doesn’t have saving power. Sure, it shows everything that is wrong with me, but it will never be able to […]
Jesus is the Anointed One! Believe in Jesus! Come to Jesus! Jesus preached that the Holy Spirit had anointed Him, Luke 4:18. In fact Simon Peter later on said that this was the message Jesus preached throughout all of Judea, Acts 10:36-38. Look at what happened in the house of Jairus, the ruler of the […]
QUESTION: The message of God’s grace and love has liberated me and helped me discover Jesus and the Bible afresh. My pastor often quotes John 1:17, The law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. The idea is that the message of grace must be balanced with truth about sin […]
Many people have a perverted view of God’s attitude and thoughts toward them. They think God is angry with them and that they have to earn God’s love. So let us have a look at God’s eternal love for us! Let’s start with this understanding; Jesus did not come to change God’s mind about man, […]
Is it possible to live the dream? When you were young, do you remember sitting under a tree daydreaming? I can remember as a child I had some pretty big dreams. I was young and innocent; what a dreamer I was. Obviously, with most of us, as we grew up, many things in our environment […]

When we do things that are not perfect, we easily condemn ourselves. But does God expect to find perfection in everything we do? We all have an ideal in mind concerning the things we do in life. We have been taught to be conscientious about what we do and to strive for excellence. There is […]
It is such a huge difference between living in the Old Covenant and living in the New Covenant. In the Old Covenant God said he would not forget the sins and iniquity of the people, even to the third and the fourth generation. In the New Covenant God says in Hebr. 8:12, “their sins and […]
Obedience has certainly been the topic of many sermons over the years. From fire and brimstone threats for disobedience, to promises of great reward for those who obey, preachers have proclaimed their views concerning obedience to God’s Word. Is it important to obey God’s Word? Certainly it is. But what is the word from God […]
I used to pray God for a revival in our church, but we need more than a revival. Revivals are wonderful, but they come and go. We need a movement from God to come and stay. We need a reformation coming from revelation, bringing revolution. Grace will bring you out of the prison house, out […]
