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”
The Unpardonable Sin
There are 5 major religions in the world: Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, and Judaism. Christianity is the only major religion that offers humanity full and complete pardon from sin based upon the substitutionary death of a sinless, divine Savior–who was brought back to life after his death on a Roman cross. all the others areContinue reading “The Unpardonable Sin”
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”
Mah Jesus Din’t Drink No Wine!
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”
The Christian Teacher
This teaching is a highly personalized account—a small part of my complete life story—sharing with you about how Jesus and Holy Spirit graciously gave me a second birth and first “called” and “commissioned” me to be a teacher of the Bible and related subjects, and how throughout my lifetime Jesus has equipped me to teach.Continue reading “The Christian Teacher”
Shang Ti and Sinim
During my childhood years, my family lived in one of the three “Atomic Cities” in the United States during World War II. It was a lazy summer afternoon in one of those cities, Oak Ridge, Tennessee. I was 5 or 6 years old, digging a hole in our back yard with a little shovel, asContinue reading “Shang Ti and Sinim”
