Why does it seem that evil and unjust people seem to prosper? Why do righteous people who work selflessly seem to always have troubles? Asaph, Jeremiah and other Old Testament writers ask this question. Many times the reason wicked people seem to thrive in this life is because they think they have no need of God. When one forsakes God, his evil…
If you understand what the parable of the wheat and the tares means, it helps you to see what John is teaching ‘the little children’ in I John. There is going to be infiltrators into the remnant church in the last days. Peter and Jude describe what these children of Satan will be like on the inside. John is teaching the newly…
1 John 3:8-9 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.…

The sin that needs to be confessed in I John is not only the sins of the fathers, but the sin of the nation in rejecting their Messiah. This confession is for national blessing, not for personal salvation. The commandments mentioned again and again in I John are not the commandments of the law. They are “his” commandments – the commandments that…
Genesis 6 gives the account of the sons of god coming in to the daughters of men and creating a race of giants. This account is somewhat controversial as to what exactly does it mean. In this study, we look at the account and many of the reasons we believe the sons of god were, in fact, fallen angels. It was the…

Jesus Christ is eternal life and the only way to receive eternal life is by the gift of God placing one into Christ. There are never any works involved.
