Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. Matt 22:21

The Gospel of Christ is the preaching of the cross, and is the power of God leading to salvation.

Christ tells us when it is that He loves us, and when His Father loves us, and when a person actually loves Him, and who does not love Him. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will...

This goes to something I had noticed in (1 Pet 1:12) that any person can pick up the bible and read from it, and it may be called preaching, but it is without the Holy Ghost; but then there are those who preach the Gospel WITH the Holy Ghost, which is when the hearer is hearing God´s Word with...

We must needs avoid attempting to come to God´s Word as a wise and prudent (i.e. scholastic achiever) sort, lest the Truth be hid from us. For when we begin to think above (beyond) that which is written, then be begin to exaggerate and over-estimate His Word. The Word of God is the Word of...

The believers, which is the church made without hands are the body of Christ, which you very well know the scriptures conclude.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the...

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: Col...

The Father sends the Spirit in His Son´s Name, but when scripture refers to the Spirit of Christ, it refers to His character, all that He teaches and consists of. We see in (Rom 8:9) that if we do not have this Spirit, this character, this attitude, in us, then we do not belong to Him, to God...

And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. Luke 12:4-5 blessed are they...

We which do believe ought not to enter into a philosophical conversation with unbelievers, which is what Eve did with the serpent. For righteousness has no fellowship with unrighteousness, neither does light have any communion with darkness. We are to only inform them of the Truth according...

They are of the world, therefore speak they of the world, and the world hears them. Your discussion is a secular matter between a secular government and secular people. Christ never at any time imposed Himself upon any, and neither did He tell us too; rather once repentance for remission of...

To be read at church or at home on Christmas Eve THE EMPTY STOCKING Tonight I want to tell you the story of an empty stocking.. Once upon a midnight clear there was a child´s cry, and a blazing star hung over a stable, and wise men came with...

Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. Shall not the day of the LORD be...

iT IS MERELY SAYING; Do you think that the scripture "would say" such a thing. God´s Word says nothing in vain(to no good use), but rather is purifying Truth, and living, and is able to distinguish the thoughts and intents of our hearts. Therefore the scripture would never say, that the...
