Disguise Themselves
deceive [dih-seev] (verb): 1. to mislead by a false appearance or statement; delude 2. to mislead or falsely persuade others; practice deceit For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his…

Comes to the Light
“For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.” John 3:20-21 photo mask by Papier Studio,…

A Word to Those Who are Wise in Their Own Eyes
Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him. Proverbs 26:12Let me be frank and to the point. Getting what you think you want is not always a good thing. Sometimes, usually after it’s too late, there are deep, heart-wrenching regrets. Just…

A Short Parable About Badly Behaved Children
A young couple excitedly started their family with high hopes for a happy-ever-after ending. They did everything in their power to raise their children to know the difference between right and wrong. They carefully instilled biblically moral values in them. They set a good example. They had every reason to expect that their efforts would…

Hated “Haters”
Paul would surely have been convicted of hate speech if he lived in our day in some parts of the world—maybe England or Canada? Coming soon to America? He told it “like it is,” but not because of being “mean” or “hateful.” He wanted people to have their eyes opened instead of living in blindness.…

The “Ticket”
A couple of weeks ago, I was searching online for the meaning of a Greek word and ran across a blog with an article saying that it is not necessary to continue believing to be saved. The author said that the Greek word used for “believe” does not mean that, and that only a moment…

No Dead Atheists
For Sheol does not thank you; death does not praise you; those who go down to the pit do not hope for your faithfulness. Isaiah 38:18 What an odd thing to say, right? No dead atheists? We know there are plenty of live atheists, and that they do die eventually. But the reason there are…

Praise the Wicked
Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law strive against them. Proverbs 28:4 We believers in this age are under the “law of liberty” or the “royal law” and will be judged by how we used our freedom (whether to glorify God or indulge ourselves): If you really fulfill…

Wheat or Tares?
He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares [weeds] among the wheat and went away. Matthew 13:24-25 A similar idea to that conveyed in the above passage…

Walk by Faith Not Sight (Or No Longer Blind?)
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are…

To Inherit or Not to Inherit
The reason I write about the topic of this article is that people have been deceived into thinking it’s okay. With some of the other things in the list in the Bible passage below, people KNOW they are wrong things to do, but sometimes do them without even realizing it–or they slip from time to…

What Kind of Faith? (or “Let No One Deceive You”)
Question: Does your faith reassure you that even though you slip many times and “get dirty” the “pristine white robe” that was provided to you by Jesus when you believed on Him for salvation, He will forgive you and wash you clean again every time you ask Him (1John 1:7-10, Rev. 22:14); or does it…

Who’s Your Daddy?
A word of encouragement to be ready when Jesus returns: Please don’t buy it if the devil tries to sell you the lie that children of God can enjoy their sins just as much as the rest of the world. Our old nature loves to hear it, because its just plain easier to go along…

The Eclipse
These are dangerous times we’re living in. Not because we’ll be harmed by today’s total eclipse (August 21, 2017), but because of the risk we take when we let anything obscure the Light of the world from our view. Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me…

Hold the Flashlight
Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. Ephesians 5:11-12 context: For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light…
