It’s interesting in the story of Christ riding on a donkey as He enters Jerusalem on Palm Sunday (Matthew 21:1ff), how the donkey just moments prior to the disciples coming to get him for His God-given appointed task, my friends, he was really just wallowing and whining and lamenting the fact that he’d never been […]
On Tongues, Interpretation and Prophecy
May 1, 2008 by
There is a difference between tongues, the prayer language (1 Cor. 14:2, 4), and tongues, the spiritual gift (1 Cor. 14:5). Addressing the misuse of tongues, the spiritual gift, in the church at Corinth, Paul was not forbidding its use (1 Cor. 14:39). Of course, tongues is to be interpreted if it is to be […]
Standing Against the Devil – Part 3
April 28, 2008 by
(To read Part 1, click here. To read Part 2, click here.) I closed Part 2 of this blog post series by saying the devil’s not just a fantasy. He is very real. At this very moment he’s plotting how he might destroy you. Yes. That’s right. I said, “Y-O-U. You!” And there are some […]
Standing Against the Devil – Part 2
April 23, 2008 by
(If you haven’t read Part 1, click here.) The young man’s room was as dark as night. The blankets that hung over his windows did an excellent job of not letting any light in. His walls and ceiling were covered with posters – posters of rock groups. And he had just as many tapes (they’re […]
Standing Against the Devil – Part 1
April 18, 2008 by
The concert had just ended when I was introduced to a young person from the audience. I was immediately struck by the fear in his eyes. I would say he was maybe thirteen years of age or so and he needed help. He pleaded with me to come to his house. So I asked him […]
A Poem Written By God
April 13, 2008 by
(Kim Campagna is the guest writer today.) “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:10; NKJV) God’s word is awesome. Every reading brings fresh insight and God-inspired change to our lives. Recently, I read something that blessed me immensely. […]

Whatever Became of Barabbas?
March 20, 2008 by
Do you remember the story of Jesus and Barabbas? Barabbas was freed while Jesus was condemned in his place. It’s a picture of what Christ has done for us. We each are under the death penalty for our sins. Jesus took our place and paid the price so we could go free. So where did […]
God in Human Terms
March 2, 2008 by
“The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are attentive to their cry” (Psalm 34:15). Of course, the Lord doesn’t have “eyes” or “ears.” These are what’s called “anthropomorphisms,” which is just a big word for when God is described using human terms. This is how the Bible Encyclopedia defines anthropomorphism: […]
What is Truth? – Part 2
January 27, 2008 by
With Jesus standing before him, Pilate asked the question, “What is truth?” And it was because Pilate lived in a day much like our own, I’m convinced, where we just don’t know what to believe anymore since it isn’t always the case that we can trust what we’re being told. Right? We literally live in […]
