The Lord’s Prayer—so-called—is not exclusively Jesus’ prayer; rather it is a means of prayer, a prayer outline that Jesus taught his disciples upon their request. In fact, it seems that the only time the disciples may have asked Jesus to specifically teach them anything was when they asked Him to teach them how to pray Continue reading “The Lord’s Prayer…So-Called”

Science(s) And The Bible
The following is a brief alphabetical listing I have compiled about various fields of studies, endeavors, pursuits, and strategies used in determining the Bible’s origins, authenticity, trustworthiness, reliability, veracity, translations, interpretations, and understanding. This is not a teaching, per se, as are most of the other 100 + teachings on this website. The listing givesContinue reading “Science(s) And The Bible”
Baptism(s)
When most people who are familiar with the Bible or Christianity hear or read the words “baptize” or “baptism,” they automatically think of being baptized in water as some sort of initiation rite into the Christian faith. Many people might be surprised to learn that there is more than one type or mode of baptismContinue reading “Baptism(s)”
Joy-Full Living
Some people just never seem to have any authentic joy in their lives. Oh, they might experience happiness, but joy and happiness aren’t the same. Happiness (or unhappiness) depends on happenings. Joy comes from God Who eternally lives within us. Some people just seem to fret all the time about the negative, “dark” aspects ofContinue reading “Joy-Full Living”
The Killer God
Almost daily I pray, Spirit, lead me into truth without borders. What does that mean? For years, I have been praying that God will lead me into his truth about the matter of atrocities in the Bible—not human attempts at truth to explain away the atrocities, cover them up, or deny they happened. I wantContinue reading “The Killer God”

I strongly urge you to obtain a copy of Gerry’s startling book at hopeforallfellowship.com or amazon.com] Most of us humans—being self-centered and self-absorbed for the most part—often break our promises—even if we’re well-intended in attempting to keep our promises.

The Wrath of God: Is God Really Mad At Me?
The Bible is replete with references to the word “wrath” (and its derivatives) including, of course, the wrath of God. In fact, the Bible contains over 200 references to wrath, making it a major theme throughout the Bible—in both the Old and New Testaments. By definition in American English, “wrath” is “intense anger; rage; fury.”Continue reading “The Wrath of God: Is God Really Mad At Me?”
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”
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”
