What is the Gospel?

What is the Gospel?

What exactly is the “Gospel”? There is a specific definition: “Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the Gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you; unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day ac

The Spirit of Truth Convicts

The Spirit of Truth Convicts

(Author’s note: this article is an excerpt from my book “The Gospel of John – As Seen Through The Eyes of a Relative Nobody – Volume 2”) In John 14:6 Jesus refers to Himself as “the truth”. Later, as He prepares the disciples for His departure, He refers to the Holy Spirit as “the Spirit of truth”. “…when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.” (John 15:26) He explains why this is a

Resting in the Assembly of the Dead

Resting in the Assembly of the Dead

“A man who wanders from the way of understanding will rest in the assembly of the dead.” (Proverb 21:16) The word “assembly” literally means “congregation.” I did a word search in the King James and it only shows up in English in the New Testament one time (referring to those attending a Jewish synagogue for non-Christian worship). The other 330 times it shows up are all in the Old Testament all referring to whole units of people - nations. A few of those refer to pagan natio

The Death of Compassion

The Death of Compassion

I was reading a story on social media recently. In this true story some cowards were beating a defenseless man in the street. No one used their cellphone to call the police to save the man. They were too busy videotaping the beating….and laughing about it. People are bragging about how many abortions they have had. They obviously don’t care that they helped murder all those babies. They also do not care about those who wanted to have babies but miscarried and grieve that loss

The Antidote to Anxiety

The Antidote to Anxiety

"Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad." (Proverb 12:25) This verse made me think about anxiety and depression, some of which is related to physical problems and I know that some has demonic origins. However, most is related to lifestyle issues and beliefs that harm the human soul. I’ve been around a long time now. I’ve NEVER seen so much anxiety and depression in the world. I’m sorry to say that I believe it will get worse and worse….un

Faith is Not a Commodity

Faith is Not a Commodity

I was reading a book review today in a Christian magazine to which I have subscribed for years and the reviewer voiced his approval of the writer(s) of a book with these words: “…believing the Christian faith is a good product, just one that’s been marketed poorly.” I don’t have a problem with sales people marketing “products”. I’m all for a free market in which products are bought and sold. Toothpaste and hair spray and other items should be advertised and sold. It DOES, how

Having Come Full Circle

Having Come Full Circle

I experienced something this past Saturday night and on my way back to where I am staying the Lord revealed something about the whole experience. In order for me to communicate it in a way that will matter, I have to give some background. Eighteen months ago I was called to Houston from where I live in North Texas. A beloved friend, a man I had pastored for many years, had died in his sleep. I rushed down to provide support for his surviving friends and to try to make his fun
