Mike,
I know Christian Orthodoxy claims that 'if I believe with all my heart without doubting, I will receive all that I ask for' and further that 'believe that you already have it, and you will'. I have always had an unease about such teachings and especially with my own concern regarding my eyes, ... [read more]

Just a quick question concerning church. I have been speaking with some friends lately about church and what God expects from us. I am in the process of going through some of the truths the scriptures bear out concerning these ideas. I have some understanding of Joh 4:23, concerning the pl... [read more]

Hi Mike,
Do you see grace (which chastens and disciplines) available (accessible) only to those who have come out of Babylon?

Hi Mike,
I find it baffling and hard to believe that NO orthodox church has the truth of scripture. Isn't there a single preacher in the denominational Church who would fall in the category of the 'elect' who knows what you are teaching from Scripture?" Yours Truly,

Dear J____,
You asked about the truths Paul stated in his letter to the Romans. You used the phrase in so far as his letters are of particular concern to us, the Gentiles of the nations… Eph 2:11 says we were Gentiles and verse 12, we were aliens from the commonwealth of Israel. Then verse ... [read more]

On Being a Good Wife
I have noted throughout the years that when visiting other women or being with them when their cell phones ring, that too often I can guess if the person calling is their husband. I would like to say it is because their voice softens, and a smile appears on their face. But no, ... [read more]

I will go line by line through this letter and give God's Word and contrast God's Word with the carnal minded reasoning of your friend. Your friend, as I myself once did, and all carnal minds do, fails to see the difference between the ability to choose based upon the causes he himself admits to in ... [read more]

What is Grace and Its Purpose?
[Posted July 6, 2006]
Understanding grace is only for those who "Do His will" (Joh 7:17). What sometimes comes up missing in the teaching of the doctrine of grace is the understanding that is imparted to us in Titus 2:11 and 12. Grace teaches [paideuo, Strong's #381... [read more]

Patriotism is idolatry. Here are Christ's words concerning patriotism and pledging allegiance to the flag and any and all such idols. If we really mean what we say when we pledge allegiance, we of necessity place an idol between us and our God to who we truly owe our allegiance:
