Miracles, Signs, and Wonders

NOTE: This teaching was originally a lengthy thesis for one of my master’s degrees I earned at Oral Roberts University graduate school in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This teaching is a shortened, simplified, more readable version of that thesis. The thesis had numerous footnotes, endnotes, and other scholarly types of information, but we deleted all of those fromContinue reading “Miracles, Signs, and Wonders”

The Kingdom of God

NOTE:  The Kingdom of God and miracles, signs, and wonders have a “divine connection.”  We can’t understand either of those subjects without understanding that connection.  Along with studying this teaching, please study our other teaching on this website entitled “Miracles, Signs, and Wonders.” Neither of the two teachings will make full sense to you unless youContinue reading “The Kingdom of God”

Judgment and Justice

Ask most people what they think about God’s judgments(s), and the response will be something like this: “There is coming a time when God will judge every human, and, as a result, some will go to heaven to live forever with God and some will be cast into hell to burn there forever with Satan.” That’s generallyContinue reading “Judgment and Justice”

Husbands and Wives

Does the Bible really teach that a husband who is a follower of Jesus is ruler over his wife? The head of the household? The Lord of the manor? Must a wife who is a follower of Jesus really be wholly, docilely, meekly subservient to her husband? This teaching will very briefly summarize some interestingContinue reading “Husbands and Wives”

The Glory of God

NOTE:  February 2023. The following teaching was originally written and published by Ms. Carmen Benson in 1968 in a little pamphlet published by Logos International, Plainfield, New Jersey. The pamphlet is out of print and Logos International is no longer in business.  To my thinking, Ms Benson’s teaching is so important that I wanted to reproduceContinue reading “The Glory of God”

Forgive!

Anything in your life you need forgiveness for? Anyone you need to forgive? Anything in your own life you need to forgive yourself for? Some people don’t even believe in forgiveness, feeling it’s a sign of moral and emotional weakness. Some people feel if someone else has done something to harm them, they need toContinue reading “Forgive!”

Fire!

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!”

Faith

Beyond our five senses, beyond our mind, beyond our own thoughts, beyond our consciousness or subconsciousness . . . lies an inner, limitless expanse of faith “residing” in our human spirits. What is faith? How many definitions of faith have you read or heard in your life? Confusing, isn’t it? I’m not going to springContinue reading “Faith”

Divorce and Remarriage

Down through almost 24 centuries of time echoes this exclamation by God:  I hate divorce!” That statement (found in Malachi 2: 16) troubled me for many years.  Why would God make such a statement?  First, you need to read the statement in its context; God made the statement remonstrating Israelite men who had literally divorcedContinue reading “Divorce and Remarriage”

Death Died Today

Many years ago, a fellow follower of Jesus whom I deeply loved and highly respected, handed me a typed, mimeographed manuscript (are you old enough to remember mimeographed papers?) he had recently written; he wanted me to read it and let him know what I thought of it.  Upon reading his manuscript the first time,Continue reading “Death Died Today”
