Where The Spirit of the Lord Is

The only way for the soul to transform into the image (soul) of Christ, is to first make Jesus Lord (Master) … of everything. 

True freedom only happens in the place of surrender. You aren’t free unless you allow Jesus…

False Grace (Again)

Yeah. I’m beating the false grace drum again. 

Many teachers in the false grace camp will tell you that obedience isn’t necessary. Or that The Lord doesn’t test our faith (James 1:2). Or, that we don’t need to grow into…

Mentors Needed

Jesus didn’t just have compassion on people because they were hungry or needed to be healed. He also had compassion because they weren’t being TAUGHT

The Jewish people were like sheep without a shepherd … because the Pharisees didn’t…

You Died

On the whole the church teaches stuff all kinds of backwards. As an example, this verse hit me hard today.    “For one who has died has been set free from sin.” Romans 6:7   We love to teach about sin, but… Read more

Say It Again

We have this false notion that if we pray once or twice and that if we don't see immediate results .... we tell ourselves that God isn't going to answer that prayer.

The truth is that we KEEP coming at…

Communion

Why do we take communion? Here’s the why. 

Jesus took the 2nd death (thanatos) for us so we can have life to the full here, now, and forever. Yes. This victory over the grave and eternal death, assures us victory…

Fiery Trials

Some of the “progressive” grace teaching makes me nuts. Many grace people want to say that God doesn’t test our faith or that our character doesn’t go through a refiners fire. 

Check this out.

Discipline

Being disciplined isn’t fun, and it isn’t easy. Discipline from the Lord is learning to do things counter to the current way you are doing them. It’s training the soul to yield or default to the spirit instead of to… Read more

Lawn Mower Parents

Lawn mower parents mow the tall grass in front of the their kids. In a false idea of love, they make sure the kids never meet any kind of resistance. 

In doing so, these kiddos have a very hard time…

Parable of the 10 Virgins

I saw someone post that the parable of the 10 virgins (Matthew 25:1-13) is indisputable proof a saved believer can lose their salvation. The person posting this verse was making the point that 5 foolish “believing” virgins (who had their…

The Seal

This has just fried my brain. I’m dumbfounded.

Do we agree that Jesus is eternal? 
Do we agree that Jesus cannot lose His salvation?
Do we agree that The Father cannot lose Jesus?

“For on him God the Father has…

Ascended Life

I love proper grace teaching. 

True grace is freeing because it destroys condemnation, shame, self-righteousness, and all self-reliance. Grace is full supply for the surrendered heart and His grace empowers us in every way to be just like Jesus.

True Grace

Understanding true grace is critical because grace grows, supplies, and empowers us to do the will of God.

But, the false grace camp twists grace into something that’s solely about our identity in Christ and into teaching that rejects the…

More Wine and Oil

The key to multiplication and the more of The Lord is doing whatever He tells you, with whatever you have available.

Calvinism

Over the years a bunch of people have called me a Calvinist when it comes to the things of salvation. I’ve never really understood the commentary …. because it really makes no sense. 😬

Calvinism teaches that man has no…

From Faith for Faith

Friends, you and I got eternally saved FOREVER the moment we believed from our HEART (Romans 10:10) - we are saved from His grace through the faith that we responded to. 

Our spirit being renewed or born again, is called…

The Moral Law

Uber legalists will tell you the Torah and the Law of 613 are for today. And false gracists will tell you that there is NO law on this side of the cross. Both sides get very angry when these views…

Works

Many grace people come out of religion so anti-religion, that they make “works” their enemy instead of understanding that the works of the devil (1 John 3:8) is their actual enemy. You’d think that being so against religion, they’d at…

* Job wasn’t Jewish, but was saved because he believed God.

Twisted Scripture

This stuff really irks me, to the point I might need a break from FB. Here is an example of how the gospel gets twisted as a false narrative. The lies get more and more creative. 🤬🤢🤮

The Saguaro Cactus

This week in Arizona I learned about the Saguaro cactus ... in this pic you can see many of them in the distance.

BUT. Only ONE seed in 500 MILLION seeds dispersed across the desert landscape actually SURVIVES to become…

The Now

If you really think about this, it will fry your brain. This is based off a conversation I had with a good friend from the house church who was hearing right then from The Lord.

Think of this, The Lord…

A couple times a year, I like to remind people of this. 

The OT tithe was 23.3% (see ref below). 
The OT tithe was crops/food (not money). 
The OT tithe was for landowners ONLY! …

Honoring The Jewish Feasts and Holidays

During the Jewish holidays I get asked a lot about how we should best honor the feasts and traditions of the Old Covenant. Friend. The Old Covenant rituals are a mere shadow of the substance of Christ. “These are a…
