New Life in Christ, part 2

In my previous study article, we looked in depth at the seventeenth verse of chapter four in the letter to the Ephesians about not walking (patterning our way of life) after the Gentiles (those who do not know God) who walk in the futility of their minds. I would like to continue expounding on this...

The Sweet Fragrance of Brokenness

A garden locked is my sister, my bride, a spring locked, a fountain sealed. Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates with all choicest fruits, henna with nard, nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense, myrrh and aloes, with all choice spices—a garden fountain, a well of...

New Life in Christ, part 1

The book of Ephesians has some of the most vital insights into our relationship with God through Christ. Not only that, but Paul lays out practical ways in which we are to now live. I would like to expound on some of these insights and practical steps to life in Christ. We will start with the...

The Manifold Wisdom of God

What does it mean to think prophetically? In order to obtain an answer to that question, I want to take us to a different view of certain passages of Scripture that we may have not quite considered in such a manner before. We will develop a prophetic paradigm to view the Word through, our generation through,...

To The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

I wanted to look into things myself. I didn’t want to write off a whole people without looking in their eyes and Scriptures myself.  I believe many are guilty of this.  We were told to “stay away” and we never really know who you are or what you stand for.  So I dove in to the scriptures and...

Are We Living in the Last Days?

I originally wrote this a few years ago on my personal blog, and followed it with the post on if we’re living in the “Laodicean church age.” Lately on the Fire On Your Head podcast we’ve taken several sessions to cover this kind of stuff, so that’s been the nature of some of the...

Are We Living In The Laodicean Church Age?

There’s a misconception many evangelical Christians believe–whether subtly, overtly, or just without really thinking about it: that the seven churches John writes to in the second and third chapter of Revelation, are not just literal churches being written to that John was inspired to write...

Speaking in Tongues – Why Every Christian Should Do It

A Brief Study on Personal Spiritual Edification Introduction There is a lot of disputing and even division in the Body of Christ today over one of the most foundational and straightforward concepts in New Testament spirituality. There are scholars in favor of speaking and tongues as well as scholars who...

Watching What We Speak

Many of us believers tend to already know there are various levels on which Israel rebelled against the Lord, and various specific points could be pointed at in the wilderness narratives as the cause of their spending 40 years there instead of inheriting their promised land immediately after leaving Egypt....
