Don’t misunderstand the title of this teaching! I don’t presume to have the faintest clue about God’s will for you in the day-to-day events of your life. If I claim I do, that’s presumptuous and foolish of me! In fact, don’t let anyone else ever presume to know what God’s will is for you inContinue reading “God’s Will For You”

Eternal LIFE
Got LIFE?! As I visit with various followers of Jesus and pre-followers here and there in person and by correspondence, soical media, and e-mail around the world, I find that many of them have only a vague, nebulous concept of what real LIFE—eternal LIFE—is all about. Here’s what the Bible teaches: Eternal LIFE is God’s ownContinue reading “Eternal LIFE”
Water
Water. What a mysterious substance! On one occasion Jesus said: “Those who believe in Me will have rivers of living water flowing out of their innermost being.” He was speaking about Holy Spirit Who would later come to reside permanently in his followers. (John 7: 37 – 39) There’s an interesting principle found throughout theContinue reading “Water”

Satan: From Beginning to End
When the Bible uses the phrase, “in the beginning,” it is speaking of the origination point of the subject in question.

The Bible declares “TheContinue reading “Satan: From Beginning to End”
O Christmas Tree
I suggest you first sing the song, “Oh, Christmas Tree,” and then read this teaching aloud during your Christmas season. You might even want to consider reading a portion of it serially each day for a few days every year as part of your annual Christmas celebrations at home or church. Make it a tradition—muchContinue reading “O Christmas Tree”

There’s a 2,000-year-old controversy about whether or not Jesus drank real alcoholic wine. I hope this teaching lays that controversy to rest for you. “Mah Jesus din’t drink no wine!” Those were the exact words a man was screaming at me when I thought he was about to slug me because I was teaching aContinue reading “Mah Jesus Din’t Drink No Wine!”
“Good” Good News vs “Bad” Good News
We’ve all seen little religious leaflets someone leaves at our front doors or in restaurant bathrooms; or, from time to time we see them being blown about on downtown sidewalks on a windy day. Sure you’ve seen them: the kind a zealous religious person hands to you as you round a street corner or youContinue reading ““Good” Good News vs “Bad” Good News”
God and Religion
To introduce my subject, I begin by saying I don’t pretend to have all the answers to some of the challenges faced by Jesus’ Church on the earth in our times. In fact, I have far more questions than answers. All I know is that I see many challenges for Jesus’ worldwide Church, but JesusContinue reading “God and Religion”

If you’ve ever said or thought something like that, read on… Daddy God (literally “Papa” God, or “Abba Father”) is infinite; that means He has no bounds and no limits.
