NO NEW TRUTH

 



God’s Revealed Truth is complete in The Holy Scriptures.  

There is no new truth or revelation. 

The Holy Spirit only illuminates this “already revealed truth” to our hearts by giving us true spiritual understanding of this spiritual truth. 

He also helps us remember or “brings them to our remembrance” (as Christ promised) at the times we need them so we are enabled or empowered to “walk in the Spirit” or “walk in the Light” of Truth. 

He helps us in our personal lives to pray, study the Scriptures, deny our ‘self’, take up our ‘cross’, follow Christ, and truly live out “the fruit of the Spirit” with our attitudes and actions on a daily practical basis. 

This is how we worship God in Spirit and Truth.

Spirituality is in practical everyday living including the little things we do to fellow human beings; not in some strange, abstract or superstitious activity.

Grace and peace to all God’s people!

THE ETHICAL BEAST

Image
A beast is an animal, especially a large or dangerous four-footed one. A wild animal. A beast is also a domestic animal, especially a bovine (meaning, relating to cattle) farm animal. Basic dictionary definitions. So, cattle are beasts.  A lion is a beast.  An eagle is a beast. A serpent is a beast.  Yes, a serpent. Let’s talk about that. Especially as Christ used it as some sort of behavioral reference and exemplar for us. He pointedly said: “Be wise as the serpent.” Oops!  “But,” He continued, “be harmless as the dove.” Okies! A serpent is a large snake. A snake, as studied and described by Science (Biology), is a reptile without limbs, voice, external ears, or eyelids, that has only one functional lung, and a long, slender body.  What are some evolutionary traits of the snake?  Stay with me. I know we don’t like snakes. But we are getting somewhere.  We’re learning something.  Snakes have a keen sense of smell, temperature and touch but generally poor eyesight (except night snakes

GRACE IS WORK

Image
Consider these two biblical statements: “By grace are you saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God not of works so no man can boast.”  “Work out your salvation with fear and trembling.” They may seem contradictory but they are rather complimentary. Firstly, anyone who thinks they can save themselves from eternal damnation is deeply deluded or grossly ignorant of what sin is, who they as humans are, who God is and what Christ came to accomplish in His suffering, death, burial and resurrection. Grace is the work, act, action or operation of God in saving man. True grace is first and foremost and primarily for and about man’s salvation .  Hence, salvation is by grace, meaning it is by the work of God, which is in what Christ did on the Cross.  No salvation outside of Christ.  Grace came through Christ alone, meaning God saves through Christ alone.  He is the one and only true door by which if any man enters in, they shall be saved.  Faith is product of

WHY TRUTH?

Image
  The following are questions that I have been curiously asked by some of the people who have read or heard what I write or say, over the years: “Why are you saying these things?” “Why are you sharing (biblical but unconventional) truths?  “Are you a pastor?” Let me break them down them into different possible thought processes that have generated them: In other words:  Who gave you the authority to say these things?  What (moral, spiritual or positional) right or ranking do you really have to speak publicly about them?  Are you holy, righteous or anointed enough to say things that obviously challenge (albeit in a non-confrontational way) the religious status quo? Or, are you just trying to rock the boat? Are you chasing clout or seeking cheap publicity? But do you not know or realize that it can ‘spoil market for’ (metaphorical colloquialism for: impede or jeopardize the economic prospects or viability of) many ‘pastors and churches’ and as a matter of fact the entire commercialized r
