Please God By Realizing He Is Sovereign

If the person who left this life without faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, they are not in a “better place now”. When the self involved rich man died, and was buried, “he lifted up his eyes in HELL, being in TORMENT” (Luke 16:23-24). He was not in a better place. When Lazarus died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s Bosom (Luke 16:22), he was in a better place.

Neither Lazarus nor the rich man “looked down from Heaven” to see their earthly families.

Lazarus did not become an angel, but was carried by the angels.

How does one get to Heaven? You must “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and be saved” (Acts 16:31). The God Who owns Heaven, and all things (even us) has made faith in what His Son did on Calvary the key to Heaven. I believe much of our problems come about because we misunderstand the nature of God. God is not a “Big Man in Heaven”. He is IMMENSE, SOVEREIGN…. Continue reading

God Is Still In Control

Romans 9:1-5 (KJV) I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, 2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: 4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; 5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

This Will Be A Long Introduction,
But I Must Address The “Isms”

There have been a lot of misconceptions that have come out of a misinterpretation of Romans chapter 9. Some of these misconceptions have to do with what is called the “will of man and the sovereignty of God”. … Continue reading

God Is In His Heaven And On His Throne

When trials and tribulations come upon us, as humans we often ask:

Lord, Why did this happen to me?

If you have ever asked this question you’re not alone. King David, a man after God’s own heart (1 Samuel 13:14; Acts 13:22) asked God fifty one questions in the Psalms. David asked questions like:

Psalms 6:3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?

Psalms 13:1-2 How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? 2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?… Continue reading

Foundation Series #2: God Is In Control

God keeps His Word – period! God also does no evil. The Lord may allow evil to persist or allow the devil for a time to seem to be in control. But God never does nor condones evil. Continue reading

Interpretations Belong To God

The Bible is filled with stories of people who were in darkness and yet trusted God. Job comes to mind, or the Prophets Habakkuk or Jeremiah. In the New Testament I think of John the Baptist imprisoned, waiting to be beheaded by an evil king. Trust in God no matter how dark the night, for God is in control. Continue reading
