I find a very serious and disturbing incongruity among most followers of Jesus when it comes to the subject of fire as taught in the Bible. Here’s why… If people are Bible-believing followers of Jesus, the concept of fire in the life of the believer goes something like this: God uses fire (“spiritual” fire, notContinue reading “Fire!”

Baptism in the Holy Spirit
In the mid-twentieth century, a worldwide phenomenon called “The Charismatic Renewal” began almost simultaneously in three locations: Seattle, Washington, New York City, and at Notre Dame University in Indiana in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s—and continues to this day. Those events were preceded by a similar event a generation or so earlier that began duringContinue reading “Baptism in the Holy Spirit”
Whole in One
At age 18, shortly after I became a follower of Jesus God called me and began to equip me to be a teacher of the Bible and related subjects. In fact, He “spoke” to me these words: “Bill, I have called you and will equip you to be a teacher of the Bible and relatedContinue reading “Whole in One”
Salvation
Salvation is a concept many people don’t understand. It’s a word that remains a mystery to many. For many people, it’s an old-fashioned term—this thing known as “salvation” or being “saved.” Why salvation at all? What do people need saved from? Obviously no one needs saved unless they’re in some kind of peril. Many wouldContinue reading “Salvation”
The Image of God
The Bible makes the startling claim in Genesis 1: 26 and 27 (and Genesis 9: 6) that human beings were created in the “image of God.” That’s what the reference says, but what does it mean to be created in God’s image? By basic definition “image” means a “representation of something.” We know from manyContinue reading “The Image of God”
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. For example, “In the beginning God created the universe and the earth.” Before their creation, there were no heavens and earth. Their creation had a starting point in time—in the beginning. 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”
“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”
Daddy’s Favorite Child
Have you ever thought, “I believe God loves me, but I’m not so certain He likes me”? 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. He is also infinitely loving, meaning his core character—theContinue reading “Daddy’s Favorite Child”
My Visit To Heaven
This is not one of my teachings. Its an “advertisement” for one of my books. On March 6, 2018, I was invited to visit Heaven. I wrote about that in a book titled Heaven: Our Home Sweet Homeland. You can purchase my book at amazon.com as an e-book, or in softcover, or hardcover. Here’s what God asked me to writeContinue reading “My Visit To Heaven”
