Precept #7 “And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” (Matthew 26:27-28)             To build a castle you must do it one stone at a time. Layer upon layer the stones are staked to make the walls. It would be insane to start at the top and try to build the wall from the top down. Without a foundation to place the stone, there is nothing for it to rest upon. They would just fall from the sky. You must…

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13) “By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.” (1 John 5:2) Jesus answered, “The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second…

“And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17:22-24)                   “δόξα,” pronounced “Doxa,” is the Greek word for glory. It is given the definition…

“Architect of Love” “In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him [God] who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in…

“We Shall Be Like Him” “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.” (1John 3:2-3)             We are coming to the soon conclusion of the mystery of God. The veil is to be removed and we will see Him as He is. The mystery will end and we will look upon our Father directly for the first time. Since man has fallen in…

Forever Father: “All In All!” “Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.  Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.” (Job 37:22-23) Please, before you go any further read: Job Chapters 38 & 39. Thank You!             We find in the book of Job, our Heavenly Father, our forever Daddy, gently making His case before Job. Job suffered many things for His trust and obedience before God. Like Jesus, Job executed his perfect faith through suffering. Actually, we can view Job as a forbearer of Jesus. It is…
