“The Story” Chapter 1, Genesis four, from Adam to Noah. Edit and repost.


When I made the first post in 2014, I did it under protest. Having had experience with Pastor Rick Warren and his 40 days of purpose books, I wanted nothing to do with this, and the small men’s Bible study … Continue reading

Well then, come and see, and therefore the two disciples heard and followed. John 1:36-42.


Previously we learned that a primary function of John the baptizer’s mission served was to announce that Jesus was manifested to Israel. Did that happen? Yes, but from a human standpoint, many looked at the baptizer as a crazy man; … Continue reading

He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit. John 1:32-35.


Previously I told you about an unusual statement from John the baptizer. “I did not recognize Him, but so that He might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing in water.” (John 1:31 NASB) If I focus on the first part … Continue reading

Don’t you wonder if others heard God’s voice that day. John 1:30, 31.


I can hear the sarcasm in John’s voice as he says “This is the One about whom I told you, ‘He who comes after me is above me, because He was before me.’” (John 1:30 TLV) John is not only Jesus’ cousin, … Continue reading

They asked if you are not the Christ, Elijah, or the Prophet, why are you baptizing? John 1: 28, 29.


If you are a follower of Christ, a similar question will be asked about you. Since you are not Christ, why are you trying to change anybody’s life? The world and many religious people do not know that we gave … Continue reading

Grace and truth were realized through Jesus. John 1:15-18.


 “In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” (John 1:4-5 NASB) Some need to know information. As I pointed out in a previous … Continue reading

There came a man from God. John 1:6-14.


 Consider something, if all humanity carries the brokenness called sin, is it possible that it is a genetic issue that has been passed down through Adam and Eve would have been passed through Mary, the virgin?  Well, of course, it … Continue reading

In Him, there was life. A study in the gospel of John 1:4,5.


In my previous post, I “only” covered John 1:1. I had the blinders on and only chose to focus on that one verse. However, verses two and three also speak to the beginning of all things and Jesus’ role in … Continue reading

Will the world have a unified religion under the antichrist? Revelation 13:8.


I listen to several prophecy teachers as they talk in an effort to inform us all of what they deem to be the truth about what is to come. Since most of what we see coming lies within the period … Continue reading

The freedom the cross brings. Romans 6


As an aspect of my rebellious nature, I wrote this post and included my Pastor’s name. I, as a joke, tried to redact it, but that did not work, so I either eliminated it or put dots where his name … Continue reading
