One On One With God - Happy Thanksgiving!

  Dear Saints: One on One with God! Have you ever engaged in any one on one sports like tennis? You can’t run and you can’t hide. Just the two of you on the court. At the end of the day, God our Father and Creator plays a one on one with us from beginning to the end of  life here on earth and also life forever. God is a personal private God who knows us by name. Yes, God knows where you are right now and what you are going through. This is very comforting and very hopeful. Please be at rest and peace. Amen! Today, we start a new study and the third Epistle of John. It’s a private personal letter written by Apostle John to a guy named Gaius. What would a personal letter from God to you and me look like? What would be the issues of primary concern that God will write about? How would you respond to God’s private letter to you? Also what if God’s private letter to you is made public for everyone to read? Let’s just get a peek into God’s one on one with Gaius.  We will get in...

"Do Not Receive Him Into Your House" - False Teachers/Prophets

  Dear Saints: “Do not receive him into your house” Is that really in the Bible? “Do not receive him into your house”? Who is this person? These are the “deceivers” the false prophets/teachers; and there are many of them. These are also the “antichrists” and they are all around us.  How do we know who they are and how do we relate to them? As we conclude our study of the Epistle of 2 John whose theme is the "TRUTH", let’s read the admonition of Apostle John in context, 2 John 7-11: “For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor...

One with God - the One Church

  Dear Saints: People are saying America is divided. But the Church of Jesus is the one divided in America into white and black. It ought not be. America with other nations are being shaken right now but actually the church is the one that God is shaking to refine her for His soon return to take us away from the earth. You and me and everyone born of God, who is a follower of Christ, must start looking inside and begin to demolish the idols in our hearts.  We must get to the point and position of the captain of the Lord’s army who said to Joshua, I am neither for or against but on the Lord’s side (Joshua 5:13-15). We must now stop, fear the Lord and worship Him in His Majesty.  I am again challenged by the words in 1 John 2. We must be redemptive in our position and love a fellow brother and sister in the Lord otherwise we are murderers in the heart.  We have been instructed as follows: "But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and know...

"Not In Strife and Envy"

  Dear Saints: Yes, almost everyone is tense not knowing the final outcome of the USA election. First, we thank God that there were no bloodshed during the election and that Americans participated as never before. Whether your candidate is winning or losing right now, may we be reminded and assured of one thing, God is still with us and He loves us very much and died for us.  No one else has ever died to save us from our sins and from the wrath of God except Jesus Christ. No Presidential candidate can and/or should ever take the place of Christ in our lives. We should also rest in the assurance of God’s Word:  " All the ends of the world Shall remember and turn to the  Lord , And all the families of the nations Shall worship before You.  28  For the kingdom  is  the  Lord ’s, And He rules over the nations.”  Psalm 22: 27-28. Yes, the Lord rules over the nations including America. God is in perfect control so let us be at peace ...
