Revelation

by

Rarely does a day go by where I don’t come across some so-called prophet proclaiming a fresh word or vision from God. It’s always something new, and never something from scripture. Brothers and sisters, we don’t need something fresh or new. We have the eternal Word of God revealed in the pages of scripture and manifested in our lives by the Holy Spirit. God’s Word is complete and sufficient. It does not need an update.

If you are looking for something fresh, you are looking for something other than Jesus. His Word is eternal. It does not change. It is not evolving. What God has said, He will do. If you want some divine revelation, then open your Bible and read. Revelation is found between the covers of God’s Word, not on some random YouTube channel.

Standing Firm on the Word

by

A cashier shared with me she had lost her husband last year. She told me when he was about to breathe his last breath, he asked her to put his Bible under his feet. In her grief, she didn’t immediately comprehend the meaning of the request. The man’s brother cleared it up for her. He explained his brother wanted to die standing firm on the Word of God.

I thought it was a beautiful picture and a sign of a life well lived. To never waver or compromise the truth of God’s Word is the calling of every follower of Jesus. Not only should we stand firm in times of trouble, but we must stand firm when things are easy and going our way. Never forget or take for granted the reason for our hope.

Absolute Truth

by

There is absolute truth in the world. Somehow, this has become a controversial statement. I read a recent survey of college students that revealed 75% of them did not believe there was such a thing as truth. No wonder our world is in a death spiral! Two plus two will always equal four, and gravity will always cause something dropped to fall to the ground.

There is an absolute truth that is not open to debate or interpretation. It is this way because the God of all truth created it to be this way. In a day where disinformation and “fake news” are the buzzwords of choice, it’s difficult to know who we can trust and who we can’t. The Word of God has always proven trustworthy, and it always will.

Test the Spirits

by

1 John 4 begins with a somewhat curious phrase. John encourages the hearers of his letter to “test the spirits”. First, this implies there are many spirits. In our churches today, it is common to hear about the Holy Spirit, but there is often little attention paid to the other spirits in our world. We ignore these other spirits at our peril. Behind every false teaching, you will find a demonic source.

Yes, demons are real. They exist and flood the spiritual realm surrounding us. When we go along with false teaching, we are following demons. How’s that for a sobering thought? If we are not careful in examining the teaching we are listening to, there is a very good chance we aren’t being taught God’s truth at all. Instead of growing in our faith, we are opening our minds to demonic influences.

Only One God

by

A Biblical worldview demands we understand and believe there is only one God. Most Christians would agree with that statement, yet the way we live and the things we say often stand in contrast to this belief. We don’t correct friends and family members when they make inaccurate statements about God’s truth.

When culture rebels against the commands of our holy God, we sit idly by, convincing ourselves it is better to go along to get along. Why is it the world has no trouble proclaiming lies boldly, but Christians are so timid when it comes to speaking the truth? Why are we so afraid to declare there is only one God?
