I wanted to thank you for your work in this ministry. Please forward my appreciation of your work to all those involved as I know it takes more than one man to run a ministry as yours. I read your website every day. It is a great relief for me to have a place to measure my interpretation of ... [read more]

Dear Mike:
A verse popped into my head today that I used to hear so much about in my Babylonian days, and now means so much more. Here it is:
Psa 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper that love thee. Now compare that with a verse like:
Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new J... [read more]

Mike,
Do you understand why blasphemy against Christ can be forgiven in this age, but against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven in this age?

Mike,
In scripture is Israel the elect, and Judah the called, spiritually speaking? I am wondering for when I read that I may understand more closely to what is being said. Also who would Jacob spiritually be other than the new man?
Isa 45:4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel ... [read more]

Luk 12:49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
Of course the Truth is God's elect "are not hurt of the second death".

Most Christians, upon being elevated by God, assume that they are on their way to bigger and better things and that their calling in some way vindicates them or is in itself a surety for them. The story of Jehu serves as a cautionary tale against such assumptions. He is called explicitly by God to t... [read more]

Hi Mike,
It is interesting how your reply has spoken to other areas of Christ I have been grappling with lately. The way you live your life has no discrepancies between what you teach and the manner in which you edify. I am an immature babe, and I see now that you speak to me and others&... [read more]

The story of Jephthah is preceded and set up by a description of the lot of Israel. Yet again, they have turned from serving God to serving the gods of the nations around them. God has already delivered them repeatedly from the oppression of their neighbors, and yet they have rejected Him again. Thi... [read more]

Mike,
A couple years ago the bible and the Word of the Lord was cryptic and largely unknown to me. I began a year ago, after a severe chastisement from God, to study to show myself approved. I was frankly intimidated by the bible. I concentrated on the New Testament. One thing t... [read more]

Mike,
Nice to hear from you. I just think this guy made a valid point concerning the house of Israel and the house of Judah. I know about spiritual Israel. I know being in the body of Christ places me and you in the commonwealth of Israel, but just because that is true does not eliminate the disti... [read more]

Mike,
Can you also explain this verse:
Mat 15:24 I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel
Hi J____,
Thanks again for your question.
To answer any question about scripture properly, you simply must keep this one verse in your mind at all times:
Joh 6:63 It is the... [read more]
