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

Are you Elijah? I am not. Then who are you? John 1:25.


John the Baptist told those who came to question him that he was NOT Elijah, nor was he the Messiah. “They asked him, “If you’re not the Messiah, Elijah, or the Prophet, why then are you immersing?” (John 1:25 TLV)  It is … Continue reading

Does anything exist outside of God’s will?


Pastor John MacArthur once stated, “God wills evil to exist.” I can assure you that he thought long and hard about this answer before giving it to his audience. So the first question you must ask is, does anything exist outside God’s will?  … 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

Where do we go when we die? An edited repost that is always pertinent.


 Several years ago, a brother in Christ opened his home a couple of times a month, and a few of us gathered for a home church meeting. This brother-in-Christ did the teaching/preaching and, on one Saturday night, attempted to cover … Continue reading
