Jesus stated in John 17:19:

by

“And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.” First, some background. The word SANCTIFY means” To set apart for God’s use.” It really means to belong to God, which is why the word is often translated, “holy.” Likewise, the word SAINT comes from the same Greek word, “haggios,” and means, “holy ones, or ones set apart for God.” Indeed, even the term, “HOLY Spirit,” means, “the setting apart spirit.” From this we see that to be holy or sanctified, is by definition, what a saved person IS unto God — by definition …

JesusLand, Gun Control and the Coming Prince – by Jack Kinsella

by

”A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” (US Constitution, 2nd Amendment, ratified December 15th, 1791) The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution is apparently written in language so mysterious and sublime that it means something different to everybody who reads it. Evidently, it also changes meaning as the clock ticks forward, since it continues to be interpreted and re-interpreted as if there were an ongoing contest for the most original interpretation of a sentence that, to the ignorant and uninitiated masses, …

‘Enduring to the End – by Jack Kinsella

by

“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of His coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. (2nd Peter 3:3-4) For most of the past two thousand years, the scoffers had a point. In terms of Bible prophecy and the return of Christ, things remained pretty much the same from the close of the Apostolic Era until roughly the beginning of the 20th century. When Jesus was asked by His disciples, “What shall …

Facing Our Fears

by

Fear prevents us from trusting fully in God, but He knows the cause of our anxiety and wants to set us free Psalms 91:1 – 91:16 1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.2 I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence.4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be …

“…[W]hat exactly is the nature and content of the unpardonable sin or the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit?”

by

“First, it is not an individual sin, but a national sin. It was committed by the Jewish generation of Jesus’ day and cannot be applied to subsequent Jewish generations.”“Secondly, the content of the unpardonable sin is the national rejection by Israel of the Messiahship of Yeshua while He was present, on the grounds of being demon possessed…”“…[I]t was not an individual sin of that day, nor is it a sin anyone can commit today. On this point the Bible is very clear: no matter what sin anyone commits, then or now, every sin is forgivable to that individual who will come …

Galatians 5:4 Ye are severed from Messiah, Ye who would be justified by the law; Ye are fallen from Grace.

by

Going back to the law means that they have been severed from Messiah.The question here is not grace and law, but grace or law.The Greek word translated as severed or ” fallen away” is ‘katargeo’, which means ” to render inoperative.” He is not saying that they lose their salvation. What Paul is saying is that seeking either justification or sanctification by means of the law will render their relationship to the Messiah inoperative.This is the same Greek word that is used in Romans 7:2 and 6 in reference to the Mosaic Law; the law has been rendered inoperative. They …

The Armor of God

by

By Jim Allen Do you ever feel life is full of contradictions? Do you sense the world is no longer making much sense? I do. We all do. In fact, one example of a contradiction is die to live (Romans 8:13). Another is give to receive (Luke 6:38). Still another is love your enemies and do good to those who hate you (Luke 6:27). These are paradoxes, ideas that seem absurd and entirely rejected by the world.But these ideas are tenants of truth and fundamental to you and me. Even though Christian ideas are growing less valued by our culture, …

“Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ.” Ephesians 3:8

by

The apostle Paul felt it a great privilege to be allowed to preach the gospel. He did not look upon his calling as a drudgery, but he entered upon it with intense delight. Yet while Paul was thus thankful for his office, his success in it greatly humbled him. The fuller a vessel becomes, the deeper it sinks in the water. Idlers may indulge a fond conceit of their abilities, because they are untried; but the earnest worker soon learns his own weakness. If you seek humility, try hard work; if you would know your nothingness, attempt some great thing …
