Regaining Sight

To speak the word “regain” is to state that the subject in view had previously been realized. In this case, the blind man asked to “regain” his sight.  He wanted to get back that which he previously had.  I believe that many modern American Christians are backslidden–meaning, they have...

New Life In Christ, part 3

As we continue through Paul’s admonition to walk out our “new life in Christ” in Ephesians 4:17-24 we now come to verse nineteen which reads as follows: They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity.

Jesus’ Eyes of Fire

“His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire.” (Revelation 1:14,) “I have made you a tester of metals among my people, that you may know and test their ways. (Jeremiah 6:27, ESV) The concept of Jesus’ eyes of fire mentioned when the...

Strong Behind the Veil of our Thought Life

If you haven’t had a chance to listen to the Fire On Your Head podcast between Dave Edwards and myself on this subject, I highly recommend doing so.  It’s not necessary before proceeding, but this post is basically a write-up or follow up to some of the stuff I got spontaneously discussing with...

How To Overcome Sin

by Charles G. Finney (Edited and paraphrased by Keith Green) “They said therefore to Him, ‘What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?’ Jesus answered and said to them, ‘This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.’” – John 6:28-29 ...

Is Introspection a Sin?

Finally brothers… (Paul is saying to sum up this whole book) whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8 I used to...

The Sense of God’s Holiness

‘Among those who approach me I will show myself holy; in the sight of all the people I will be honored.’ -Lev. 10.3 The nations are perishing and the Church is languishing for want of the knowledge of God. This generation of American souls is largely ignorant of the God of the Scriptures, and we...
