    Flesh or Spirit?

    Persuasive Words or Spirit Power? And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness and in fear and in...

    Through Righteousness

    Romans 5:1-2 NASB Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. What is faith? Biblical faith is from...

    Walk with Him

    John 6:35, 47-51 ESV Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they...

    Clay Vessels

    We read in 2 Corinthians 4:7: “But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.” Basically, what this means is that God, by His grace, via our faith in Jesus Christ, has placed his Spirit and His Word within humans who are frail...

    Becoming Like Him

    No Confidence in Flesh Philippians 3:1-3 ESV Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you. Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. For we are the circumcision, who...

    What Kind of Persuasion?

    For Freedom Galatians 5:1 NIV It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Jesus Christ died that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. This is the essence of the gospel message. He died on that...

    Walking Past

    There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh...

    Fleshly Offspring

    Do you test what is being taught in the church against the Word of God? Or, do you have a tendency to believe what you hear, because it sounds good? Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world...

    How Deep His Love

    Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; this man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly...

    By Way of the Flesh

    We read in John 10 about false shepherds of the people who have entered the church, but not through Jesus Christ. They have snuck into the church stealthily and secretively by another way other than the true way, i.e. they have not entered by way of the cross of Christ, but by way of the flesh...

    New or Used?

    Once we have trusted in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of our lives, does it matter to God what we do from that point on? Is obedience truly optional? Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the...

    Identity Crisis?

    Flesh vs. Spirit I’ve heard a lot of explanations of Romans 6-8. Most of them left me unsatisfied, for they seemed to be crafted to fit into one theology or another, rather than to clarify Paul’s description of the struggle with the flesh and God’s solution in the Spirit. Paul said this in...

    Our Confidence

    The Apostle Paul said we should put no confidence in the flesh, and then he went on to list the ways in which he had done that (Phil. 3:3b-6). But, I would like it if we could think of the ways in which we put confidence in the flesh, not just in our own flesh, but in the flesh of humankind, in...

    Not in Freedom!

    My heart is burdened. Why is it so burdened? Because so many Christians, or professing Christians, are walking (living) in sin and not in freedom! The Lord Jesus led me to read Galatians 5 (Select vv. ESV). For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a...

    Definition Of Wilderness

    When we started on our journey in 2007 we had a vague idea of what a wilderness season in God meant. We had read many of the Christian classics, Tozer, Guyon, John of the Cross, Thomas a Kempis, Theresa of Avila and others describing wilderness seasons. From there we learned a little about what...

    Does a Human Being have a body?

    Does a human being have a body? Of course, is the obvious answer. I consider it a fact, that human beings, actual animals, members of the species, have bodies. So the zygote, a single cell with human DNA, cannot itself be a human being. Since it is only one cell, it cannot possibly have...

    Letter To The Faithful - The Flesh !

    Do you not know with freedom comes easily the corruption of the flesh. For Christ rose so that you may be free from all laws of the curse. For the curse made us slaves to the darkness of this world and of the flesh. Then why do, so many return and willingly chain themselves; only to be in...

    Letter To The Faithful - Look To Christ !

    Look to Christ! Christ, the Son of the Most High. He has saved us! For neither by work nor by law did free us from our demise of corruption of the garden. For where death took hold, the life in Christ restored what was once dead into the new life of God’s Glory and Kingdom. Christ has done it...

Law in One Word (vv. 13-15) For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the...
