You want to show your Father that you got your homework completed.  You want Him to see your “A’s” when you bring them home.  You want your Father to take time to sit down and listen to what you have learned in school.  This is what we should do, and that is what the Father… Read More »

Notice that Paul said to STUDY!  Very few people STUDY the Bible.  Many people just casually glance at it.  There  is a difference between STUDYING and READING.  You can read something and not even know what you have read.  When you study something, that means that you have spent some time with it.  You have… Read More »

It would seem to me that once I found out that I am being destroyed for a lack of knowledge, it should inspire us to gain some knowledge, so that I will not be destroyed.  If God is the One Who is trying to beat me up, He is doing Himself a disservice by telling… Read More »

Think about it, God is soooo Gracious and Merciful that He gave us a textbook that tells us all about God.  Your faith can never be strong if you are ignorant of the Word of God.  That means, if you want your faith to be strong, you will have to do some STUDYING, and become… Read More »

In Hosea 4:6, it is obvious that God is NOT talking about academic knowledge, because we have an enormous amount of “intellectuals” on the planet.  You can go to school physically, or get the courses on video recordings, or “stream,” due to the advent of home computers.  You can even do the courses through the… Read More »

IF we are in a fight, what makes it a fight? OPPOSITION!  We can also call an opponent and “enemy.”  If we are told by the Word of God to fight the good fight of faith, then there must be some enemies to fight.  If we are going to successfully fight, don’t you think that  it would… Read More »

In more than one place, the Word tells us that the “Just shall live by faith.” (Ro. 1:17, Gal. 3:11; Heb. 10:28). In other words we are supposed to LIVE BY FAITH!  Faith is a WAY OF LIFE!   Faith is not a magic wand. Faith is not an Aladdin’s lamp.  Faith is not a spare… Read More »

There are unfortunately a lot of Christians that are like “yo-yos” or “roller-coasters.”  One week they are saying, “Praise the Lord!”  But the minute something doesn’t go their way are you cross them, they all of a sudden get ugly or offended or sometimes downright mean.  I can tell you that when that takes place,… Read More »

In 1 Timothy6:112, the word “FIGHT” is an interesting word.  In the original Greek, it is the word ‘agon,’ which means “a contest,” or “a conflict.”  It implies that there is an opponent and a struggle.  If you are a Christian, you are in this  conflict, whether you want to be or not.  Notice that… Read More »
