The Christian Life

Here Is the Way It Is

A short introductory paper laying out the basic truths from the beginning of time until now about God, Who He is and His dealings with and His will for all of mankind.

How One Is Saved

This is for the person who wants to know what he or she must do to have the salvation of God. It doesn’t matter whether you are an atheist or one with many years of experience in religion. God is no respecter of persons, and He is not a disrespecter of any who come before Him in sincerity and say, “I don’t know but want to. Show me the way.” That is what He has given us for you in this paper.

You Want to Walk with Jesus?

Are you considering a true walk of faith? Do you think you have that now? Don't be deceived and don't mock God Who cannot be mocked. Here's what you need to consider if you do want to “walk with Jesus” or think you are.

Holy Waters

Don't wait to get right with the Lord before you come to Him. You come to Him because of your need to get right.

Devils Also Believe in God

You say you believe in God. Is your belief doing you any good? Or is it doing you evil? The promises of God are wonderful for those who believe Him, but woe to them who believe without faith and its attendant fruits of obedience.

Only the Death Sentence Will Avail

There is only one way to Heaven. Traditional thoughts focus on the death of the body, but the truth from God says that if we will live here and now, we must first die. To be identified with Him, the Lord Jesus Christ, we must certainly die to the world and ourselves, or how can we be with Him where He is, as He would have us to be?

“Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints” (Psalms 116:15 KJV).

Choose This Day Between Family and God

There is no place for partisanship in choosing and doing what is right. The Scriptures are full of examples and directions on how one can prosper, not in keeping one's life, but in losing it for God's sake by obeying Him in what is good when familial connections come strongly against doing so. We have seen how those who choose their families over doing what is right reap a sorrowful harvest.

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit

This paper lays out in explicit terms the who, what, where, when, how, and why of this entrance into the presence of God that only God can perform, howbeit through His chosen vessels as He sees fit. There are many spurious (counterfeit) baptisms in the Holy Spirit, deceiving many. If the seeker of God is sincere and prepared to pay the price, he or she will flee, and will be kept from, the false and will be given to know the truth.

Godhood – The Destiny of Those Born of God

As children born of men are destined for manhood, so are children born of God destined for Godhood. What could be more natural than that? How else will God be all in all, when His work is done? Yet the very ones professing faith in Him find these truths most offensive, calling them blasphemy.

The Three Degrees

There is an infinitely higher “education,” of which the greatest scholars and promulgators of this world’s education know nothing. The least in the Kingdom of Heaven, from whence the highest “education” comes, is greater than they. Just as there are three degrees of advancement in higher education, so there are also three degrees of advancement in the spiritual development with God. These degrees are progressive unveilings of Jesus Christ, Who is being glorified in man, and the honor is His.

Back to Basics

This paper has less of a spiritual emphasis yet speaks forth the basic truth that we must re-evaluate all things, returning to our foundations in all things physical, mental and spiritual. Its main thrust is one of proper agricultural and environmental general principles. One may extrapolate from there and consider 2 Chronicles 7:14 as clearly expressed truths in a nutshell of going back to basics, which if taken to heart, are able to restore one spiritually, no matter what one's lot may be.

Victims and Perpetrators

We have all been and are victims, one way or another. But the secret entrance into life is to recognize and remind ourselves that we are or have been perpetrators (producers of victims). With such a one, God will deal, and will deliver and heal.

God Heals Today, His Way

Is it God's will that we be healed and have health in body, mind, and soul? If so, why are so many not experiencing healing? In this writing you will hear about what His will is for you, and the secrets to the treasure house of all good things in His will.

The Sons of Correction

This short writing sums up the difference between wheat and tares, the sons of correction and the children of this world.

Taking the Land

“The earth is the LORD’S, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein” (Psalms 24:1 KJV).

All that remains is that His people, the Body of Christ, reclaim and reconcile all things that the enemy has usurped. Who will stop us?

“And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to Me in Heaven and in earth” (Matthew 28:18 DRB).

Violence Is Rampant on the Earth - Worse than in Noah’s Day

The greatest evils are done, not with guns and knives, but with smiles and handshakes in the everyday business transactions and affairs of this world. The curtain has been drawn on the deceitfulness covered by appearances, whose time has come to be put away. The solution for our mutual wellbeing is simple, yet profound.

 

The Assembly of Believers

The Church

What in fact IS the Church and how are we impacted by our belief of what the true Church of Christ is? Many flounder in confusion...condemned, doubting, struggling, revelling, listening to men rather than to God. There are only two churches in this world...the true and the false. Of which are you a member? You cannot be a member of both.

Counterfeit Christianity

This is a world filled with false Christianity, full of lies assumed to be truths, deceiving almost everyone, preached by the rich, the famous and the respected of men, as well as the “wanna be's.” Almost all of those who profess faith in the Lord Jesus Christ are in fact duped by, honoring and promoting the works of men, the ways of the flesh, the paths of the destroyer (Ps. 17:4), yet all the while believing they are true believers. Uh-uh.

The Case for Coming Out

Where are we, what are we doing and to whom do we belong in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ? Is Christ truly being worshipped in the present church systems of today or is it “another Jesus”? This paper calls any and every “church-goer” to account, and confronts one with his or her lukewarm spiritual state which, while being promised great things by false leaders, is condemned in the sight of God, no maybe's, no exceptions.

The Fellowship of the Saints

“And we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now” (Romans 8:22 MKJV). This describes the separation and isolation that all people experience, no matter how well connected they seem to be with others. Why is it this way? And what is the remedy that stands at the door, prepared to satisfy this most basic need and yearning for unity? A wonderful change is coming that will bring satisfaction to that desire of mankind for... the fellowship of the saints.

The Gathering

This is the Day of the Lord, the day of the vengeance of God, the day in which He gathers His elect from the four winds. Only the children of light know and see while those in darkness, as in Noah's day, perish scoffing. And so it must be, even as in Noah's day, even as the Lord said it would be. This day has never been before and is now here. Ironic that such an event should be mentioned here, sandwiched with so many other topics of seemingly far less significance.

The High Places

We read of the high places in Kings and Chronicles and we imagine all sorts of things happening in them. Little do we know that they exist today, and that we ourselves are their frequenters and ardent supporters, perishing as we go.

The Persecutors and the Persecuted

How is it that the persecutor cannot see that he is the persecutor? How is it he sees himself as justified in evil, in returning evil for what he perceives to be evil? In many cases, the persecutor claims to be a Christian, yet Jesus Himself did not do as he does. But the children of darkness are true to their state...walking in darkness. The children of light, who suffer evil and are accused of it, rejoice not because they have power and opportunity to punish the wicked, but because they suffer for Christ's sake.

 

Terms - What You Need to Know, in Plain Language

Acceptance

If there ever was an emancipating truth, it is that when we accept our circumstances involving all things and people, both evil and good, as designed by an all-wise and powerful Creator, we taste victory to the degree that we believe. Acceptance of our lot, no matter what it is, is a life confession and acknowledgment that Jesus Christ IS LORD.

The Bane of Bitterness

Bitterness is a like a cancer that eats until all is consumed. Nobody embracing or harboring bitterness escapes its ravagement. With understanding comes identification of this deceitful monster that robs one of peace, joy and prosperity. What is bitterness and where does it come from?

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit

This paper lays out in explicit terms the who, what, where, when, how, and why of this entrance into the presence of God that only God can perform, howbeit through His chosen vessels as He sees fit. There are many spurious (counterfeit) baptisms in the Holy Spirit, deceiving many. If the seeker of God is sincere and prepared to pay the price, he or she will flee, and will be kept from, the false and will be given to know the truth.

Commitment

Jonathan was a good friend of David, but not as good as many might think. He died on the battlefield with his iniquitous father. Is God unjust that good and evil men should perish side by side in like manner, against the same foe? No. “Wherefore,” where do you stand? And do you indeed stand unto victory as you presume, or does the Lord require more of you?

Confession of Sin

A sure sign of the work of God is confession of sin and restitution. The Kingdom of God has come on earth when you recognize your wrongs and do what He requires about them. This paper will tell you more about this blessed event.

What Is Faith?

Those in the world assume that going by faith is like flying blind, or worse - having no reason to believe or hope for something except the desire to do so. They expect something in the future and are invariably disappointed.

True Biblical faith has nothing to do with wishful thinking or imaginations. It is based on substance, on fact, though hidden from the carnal senses because it connects to the reality of an unseen world. So while to this world, faith seems silly or pointless, those who walk by the true faith, a gift of God, know they are not deceived. They know that as they continue, their reward is more sure than anything in this world.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is an established attitude. It is the key to a spiritual breakthrough for most if not all people at one time or another. How often is there bitterness and unforgiveness hidden under a facade of friendliness! Worse still, it is sometimes concealed under apparent piety and profession of faith in Christ, in a spiritual condition that is fruitless, powerless, and a grief to God because of the hypocrisy. Forgiveness sets free from a dark, dank, rat-infested prison to a bright, sunny, fresh-air day. The prisoner holds the keys to undo his chains and unlock the door.

The Good News

What we have been hearing, referred to as “the good news” or the gospel, must be seen for what it is…bad news indeed! In its place must be declared the truly good news. Our selfishness would dictate that if news is good for us, it is good news, though it might not be very good for everybody else. Ultimately, if it is not good for all, it is good for none. Like it or not, none of us can remain an island unto himself for long, and if one tries to be otherwise, there is only stagnation and stench, even as when waters stop running, forming a black swamp in which nothing can live.

Grace – The Reality

The vast majority of professing Christians don’t have a clue about the true nature and essence of grace, though most use the word. They usually treat it as a concept of one’s reasonable imagination; a fairytale nice to believe; an established theory or doctrine, without conditions, without resultant life changes; or most often, unmerited favor of God that comes regardless of their spiritual state, lifestyle and attitude, except to profess faith in Christ.

Many see it as freedom from the Law of God; they mistake iniquity (lawlessness) for grace.

Learn somewhat now about the true, dynamic, efficacious grace, perhaps and hopefully, if necessary, to the salvation of your soul, through the Word of Truth and resultant faith.

Iniquity

The spirit of lawlessness, of iniquity, is everywhere, in everyone. It is that spirit whose ringing cry is, “You're not going to tell ME what to do!” It is that “wicked one,” that man of sin, that son of pride which hates the law of God because it hates Him. People must be addressed and dealt with on a personal and specific basis and not only in general. And if they are going to walk with God, they must submit to such correction, without murmuring.

The Lake of Fire and the Second Death

Several important questions are raised and answered: What is the purpose of the Lake of Fire? What is the second death? And: How does one who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ enter the Kingdom of God?

Law and Grace

Only because iniquity abounds is there such great confusion about law and grace, and about what is God's part and what is ours in the scheme of things. What is the truth about these? What is the relationship between the two? Is there any relationship at all, as many deny there is? Deliver yourself from the fruits of iniquity, by the mercies of God; believe Him, pay the price and obey.

Incompatible Mixture

Some things simply do not belong together. Physical examples demonstrate the folly of mixing such things. How much more devastating are the commonplace spiritual mixtures men presume serve for good, which violate the first truth of existence: Our God is a holy God.

Obedience

There is no good thing that God will withhold from those who look to Him. Who are those that look to Him? Those who are ready to hear Him in all things and to obey Him. Obey Him in what? There are three levels of obedience, covering all aspects of life. Hear what they are and how you can walk in them.

Offendedness

Jesus said that those who were not offended in Him were blessed. How hard, yes, even impossible, it is for men and women to not be offended by the Truth. We have all been there. It is time to take a closer look at what has been reaped by taking offense, and to differentiate between reactions of selfishness and speaking the Truth in righteousness.

Opinion

Humankind takes pride in the false humility of saying it is “only my opinion.” But it is opinion, is it not, that divides us from God and from each other? People act as if by having an opinion, and allowing for others to have the same, they are promoting peace and goodwill. While choosing to opine, many think they are being objective, broad-minded and understanding, but it is the very opposite. Opinion promotes division, strife, disagreement, and dissension. That is how and why there are 35,000 plus “Christian” denominations and so many other religions.

Prayer

A short paper on the basic principles of prayer - nothing complicated, but that which is needful for any saint, young or old.

Repentance

What is repentance? We all think we know, but do we? Repentance is turning from our righteousness to God's righteousness. It is a recognition that, in and of ourselves, we have no worth. Truly, it is only by the grace of God that we can know this, both the definition and the reality. One day you will know, because you will have experienced it.

The Sabbath

Where has the Sabbath gone? What is the true Sabbath? Are the interpretations of favorite relevant passages concerning the Sabbath legitimate? Are you, as a believer, inadvertently breaking the whole law of God or not? Who is responsible for the directions people are taking on this wonderful subject and fourth commandment of God?

Submission According to God
(Group of Writings and Correspondences)

If there is one thing that is universally lacking among those who profess the Name of the Lord, it is godly submission. There may be submission to a creed, or the keeping of certain rules, varying from one group and set of doctrines to another, but the pressure to conform to an appearance is not the submission of God. Submission to Him comes by receiving, believing, and obeying those He sends in Jesus Christ, who preach the living Word of Life. Only by this submission can there be peace, harmony, salvation and life. Anything else, whether done in His Name or not, tends to disorder, confusion, and death.

Water Baptism
(Group of Writings and Correspondences)

What this ordinance meant when introduced, and how it is no longer important, having a parallel with physical circumcision in its symbolism and what has come for those who believe: "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but a new creation" (Galatians 6:15 EMTV).

The Wrath of God

There is so much talk about, and emphasis on the “love of God,” that He in fact, IS love (which is true). But it is a false love that most conceive of Him, without balance nor justice. Man is afraid to face the facts about the reality of God's true nature, knowing he falls short, is guilty and accountable to Him. This writing determines a balance and perspective by focusing on the severity of God, His justice and His wrath, as clearly documented in the Holy Scriptures.

 

Some Mysteries Explained

Who Is Jesus Christ?
(Group of Writings and Correspondences)

The most important question that could ever be asked, and the most important answer that will ever be heard.

"Thy Kingdom, Come" - God's Political Perspective
(Group of Writings and Correspondences)

Where and how does the Kingdom of God fill the whole world? Is It voted in? Are people able to unite to raise up His Kingdom? Or must God bring down all of man's efforts in order to establish His Kingdom on earth? Where do we fit in with His program? What is the responsibility of man in this Great Day?

Israel and the Jew
(Group of Writings and Correspondences)

One need not discover the campsite of ancient Israel in the wilderness of Sinai to prove the veracity of the Scriptures. All one needs for proof is right here today, in the nation of Israel and the person of the Jew. There is no more vivid or certain evidence for the truth of the Biblical record. No people have foretold, through their own prophets, their own demise and resurrection from the dead. This is not the work of mortal man, which was confirmed by the King of the Jews, Who laid down and raised His own body from the dead.

The Restitution of All Things
(Group of Writings and Correspondences)

The Lord Jesus Christ, King of kings, Lord of lords, is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. He is doing a work with everyone, and there is no person who is condemned to burn in an eternal hellfire, but all are judged to be made alive in Christ. We share writings and correspondences that address the false doctrines and attitudes that hold men in bondage. The Truth is vindicated and victorious.

God and Violence

There are critics of religion who fail to distinguish between what man does and what God does. They blame God, or, not admitting His existence, the Bible and presumed revelations from God, like the Koran, for all the violence done by man. They conveniently forget all the good that has come from the Seed of Abraham through the Jews and Jesus Christ. They do not perceive or acknowledge the vast difference between the legacy of the God of Abraham in our world versus that of the god of Muhammad. In this writing we look at who is violent and why, and where it is all headed.

The Man-Woman Dynamic

This is the Day of the Lord, the day of the reversal of the events in the Garden of Eden, the day of delivering all of creation back into harmony with God. Your first reaction to the contents of this paper may be shock, incredulity, even rage, but you will know, deep within, if you are honest with yourselves (for it is already quite obvious to you) that what is spoken here is true. Truth is truth and cannot be hidden nor resisted forever. Now is the time.

The Mark of the Beast and the Seal of God

What is the mark of the beast? What is the seal of God? These are matters of spiritual revelation and not of the carnal realm evident to the senses of man.

The Purpose of Evil

To know the purpose of evil is the question that confounds the wise, but it can be known and to this end is the paper written, declaring the sovereignty of the Lord our God. We can indeed know the purpose of evil.

Seeing God and Living

Interpreting the Bible requires spiritual revelation. A case in point: It is written that no man can see God’s face and live, yet many have done that very thing - it requires spiritual enlightenment, rather than a literal understanding, to know what God means. Then there are the wicked who profess to love and serve Jesus Christ, yet carnally interpret the Scripture to condemn those who have seen Him, not knowing they condemn themselves.

Insincere Sincerity

It is commonly said of many that they are hungering after God. That is not true. There is a sincere desire for a god that will give people what they want, but only an insincere desire for what God the Creator wants. To say that these people are seeking God is delusion. Now that we have that out in the open, something will be done about it.

The Manifest Folly of Religious Peoples in Earthly Matters

Can one be so Heavenly minded that he or she is no earthly good? Has God made the earth and our bodies so that we would destroy both? As it turns out, being truly Heavenly minded means one is also led into understanding the importance of what is good and right on earth. There is wisdom in all that God made, and it is His will that we know it: “Beloved, in regard to all things I pray that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers” (3 John 1:2 MKJV).

The Mystery of the Fool

What is a fool? How is it that so many see the foolishness of others, but not of themselves? Emperors without clothes abound everywhere, yet who can tell anyone anything? If everyone knows better, why are things not better? There is an answer.

The SIGN: The Book of Jonah, the Book of God

What treasures of God are hidden in the sign of Jonah? Hear what this rather obscure and short book, which of all Scripture was singled out by the Lord Jesus Christ as the sign of His coming, has to tell us about the momentous work God is doing today through the recounting of a singular and marvellous episode in the life of the prophet Jonah and the city of Nineveh.

Praying for Salvation of Souls

One of the powerful diabolical doctrines common in the nominal Christian churches is the one of praying for the lost. It is powerfully deceptive because it assumes an appearance of great importance, and its practice seems one of unselfishness, even godliness, yet it produces nothing but pride and other evils. The doctrine burdens the simple soul with an altogether useless, uncalled for task and subtly sabotages obedience to God in an apparently wonderful way. Neutralizing obedience, the unwary soul becomes shipwrecked in the faith, not knowing what hit him. Let us expose the false angel of light in yet another of his delusive teachings, shall we?

The Rich Man and Lazarus - A Pagan Parable

If Satan can sow tares among the children of God in order to sift them, why not a false story in the Word of God to do the same? Here is such a story, identified for what is by its nature and the fruit it produces.

 

Some Questions Answered

Who Is That Prophet?

Part 1 - Eliminating the Fraud

Muslims have proclaimed that Muhammad is the prophet prophesied by Moses who would have a relationship to God and the people similar to what Moses had. In this part we examine this claim according to the characteristics of Moses and his ministry, and consider the matter of the identity of this prophet.

Part 2 - Identifying the True

In this part I further distinguish the differences between the Messiah and that prophet. Many confuse the two, which leads to erroneous conclusions, expectations, and decisions, thus withholding from them the release, freedom, joy, and power of the Truth. With truth and clarity of vision, according to Scripture, the confusion is eliminated and I identify who that prophet is.

Are We a Cult?

Although this document will “prove” that we are a “cult,” seeing that our beliefs and practices are in some cases quite contrary to nominal Christendom, we are often suspected, accused of, and condemned as a cult for many other reasons. There are so many false rumors of us that I could spend my time addressing those alone. That is not the purpose of this paper. The purpose, rather than fighting the false, is to bear witness to the Truth.

Are the Laws of God Outdated?

A series of questions were circulated on the net to ridicule the notion of modern-day use and validity of laws cited in the Book of Leviticus, which were applied to Israel from the time of Moses to the time of Christ. The apparent purpose for this was to prove or demonstrate that if those laws were no longer in effect, unless bigots were to enforce them, then laws against homosexuality were equally silly. We have answered those questions, without charge, contrary to CRI (Christian Research Institute, headed by Hank Hanegraaff and company) whose sin of worshipping at the altar of mammon in the Name of Jesus Christ is no less than that of homosexuality, which they condemn. Jesus had harsher words for hypocrites than for outright, self-confessed sinners. It is no wonder.

The Book of Curses: Does God Forbid Cursing?

Does God curse? Does He send his servants to bless only, and not to curse? What has God done? Read and find out!

What Do We Eat? Christian Physical Diet

There is the prevalent, yet false and mortal notion that believers can eat what and as they please because they are Christians, have no need to bother about the physical and “have the Great Chemist within” Who will sort everything out and make it all good simply because He is asked to do so and thought to have ordained such an arrangement. Nothing can be farther from the truth, yet is preached as truth by almost all those who name His Name. There is clear direction as to what a believer's diet should be.

Tithes and Offerings - Are They for Today?
(Group of Writings and Correspondences)

Here is the teaching the Lord has given us, by revelation and experience, on this important matter.

What About “Christian” Music?

What is a believer in Christ to do with what is called Christian music today? What about music in general? Some thoughts, considerations, and practical advice for those on the path of truth.

Is the King James Authorized Version the Perfect Word of God?

There are those who believe only in the King James Version of the Bible. They declare that all other versions are corrupt or fall short in some way. Many of these declare that the KJV is perfect to the letter, without error. Such a notion is the result of nothing more than religiosity, ignorance, and pride. This writing will show that those who so revere the KJV as being the perfect Word of God are in idolatry of the Bible, offending in the Second Commandment, and therefore, as James declares, all the Commandments.

Are All Persons Children of God?

If you want an answer from some men, the answer is “Yes.” If you want an answer from God, the answer is “No.”

To Whom Did Jesus Pay the Ransom for Us?

Some think Jesus paid the Devil to ransom us back to God. Does one pay a thief for stolen goods? Some pirates may get away with it, but that’s not how it works with God.

Conspiracies - Who Cares?

Instead of doing what they ought to do, many believers both real and so-called, are spending their time, money and energies propagating tales of conspiracies, both real and imagined (mostly the latter). While few rocks conceal a snake, conspiratorialists suspect a snake under every rock. What does the Lord have to say and what should be the Christian attitude and stance concerning conspiracy theories?

Is Circumcision for Today?

Man, is God ultimately after your prepuce, with which He created you? Many are the aspiring teachers of the law. As the Scriptures declare:

"But the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and faith unfeigned, from which some, having swerved, have turned aside to foolish talking, desiring to be teachers of the law, neither understanding what they say nor that which they affirm" (1 Timothy 1:5-7 MKJV).

And: "For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn't subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Messiah is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes" (Romans 10:3-4 HNV).

The Woman Caught in Adultery

A Controversial Story - Did It Really Happen?

This story is reported to be not included in the “earliest and most reliable ancient manuscripts” and that “other ancient witnesses do not have John 7:53 - 8:11.” There has been great debate over the centuries as to whether or not the story of the woman caught in adultery and brought before the Lord really happened, and if so, whether or not it should be included in the original gospel of John (or in any other). How should one determine, first of all, whether or not it is true? There are many who revere those things written in the Scriptures, not because of the truth expressed in them, but because they are in the Bible. Such an attitude is plainly biased; the sin is called “Bibliolatry.”

 

Unusual Subjects

The Marriage Bed Undefiled

Contrary to those who do not have the Spirit of God, love does not find its zenith in the flesh, the physical bed, or even in a marriage. True love is not about sex and sleeping together. Therefore the custom of the husband and wife slumbering together is an unjustified burden, robbing the family of much good, contributing little more than two keeping warm more easily than one when it is cold. Love one another, trash vain and hurtful tradition, get some good sleep, rest, and enjoy one another afresh each day with energy, respect, and love.

Agriculture - Abel's Occupation

Since Cain killed his brother and left the farm, he has come up with many schemes to sabotage farmers while enriching himself. Just as it seems he has finally prevailed once and for all, a reversal unlike anything you have ever seen is barreling down the pike to restore the original order. Will you be steamrolled or leading the parade?

The Perfect Diet

If anyone has ears to hear, the perfect diet is truly possible and available. What is crucial is the sure foundation, which is what is missing in every other diet. Do you believe me? You need to believe me, if you are to avail yourself of it. In principle, not only does this writing apply to eating, but to all addictions, bad habits, and problems that exist, because the principles are foundational. “If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes,” said Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Without faith in these principles, failure is guaranteed; with faith and obedience in these principles, success is guaranteed.

The Dandelion

Is it a weed or is it a valuable herb? Is it helpful or harmful? Does it give life or take it? Is religion good or is it bad? Are we more interested in appearance or in substance? Was Jesus Christ merely a good man or is He the Messiah? Are we fools to commit ourselves to Him or is it the best thing that could happen to any person? We love the dandelion!

What Can I Say?
