THE SIX FUNDAMENTALS of CHRISTIAN RELIGION – Hebrews 6
Fundamental truth of the most basic nature is openly denied or presumptuously ignored by an age that seems to feel that it has outgrown such elementary things as these; and, therefore, we may be thankful indeed for the inspired outline of things which actually constitute fundamental Christian doctrine.
THE PHENOMENON OF HARDENING OF HUMANITY – Genesis 6
It is fitting enough, and absolutely in accord with what is revealed in the prophets that the judgment should finally come at the end of the Fourth Great Transgression of humanity.
THE CHRISTIAN RACE – Hebrews 12

HOPE IS THE ANCHOR OF THE SOUL – Easter Sunday 2022

THE 7 MIRACLES AT CALVARY – Matthew 27
There are actually seven Calvary miracles, the greatest and most wonderful, of course, being the resurrection of Christ.

BROTHERLY LOVE – Hebrews 13
Every man is my brother; for, if I miss him in Christ, I shall hit him in Adam!
THE ONE BODY – 1 Corinthians 12

WE REJOICE IN HOPE OF THE GLORY OF GOD – Romans 5
This marvelous peace is exactly the blessing which troubled man most needs and so incessantly seeks, even if his seeking is but an unfulfilled subconscious longing after it.
THE NEW BIRTH IN CHRIST – John 3
When a person is truly baptized (and only believing, penitent, confessing persons can be TRULY baptized), as Christ commanded, God sends the Holy Spirit into his heart (the second element of the new birth); and, when viewed in connection with this divine fulfillment of the promise of the Holy Spirit, baptism is the new birth; but it is not a birth of water only, but a birth of “water and of the Spirit” as Jesus said.

Thus Jesus rose “through his clothes” just as he rose through the tomb. The angel did not roll away the stone to let the Lord out but to let the witnesses in!
CONCERNING ANGELS – Hebrews 1
The angels have the nature of servants, or “ministers,” as stated here, and thus must ever be accounted inferior to Jesus our Lord; despite this, however, those shining creatures of the unseen world possess a magnificence beyond our imagination; and the service they give to God and their activities on behalf of the saints, so mysteriously mentioned here, are matters of surpassing interest and curiosity.
THE SEVEN CALVARY MIRACLES – PART ONE – Matthew 27
There are actually seven Calvary miracles, the greatest and most wonderful, of course, being the resurrection of Christ.
THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER – Matthew 26

THE ETERNAL JOY OF THE INDWELLING OF THE FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT – Galatians 5
Continuing to walk in the Spirit, centering and continuing the thoughts and meditations of the heart upon the teachings of the Lord, actively seeking to maintain identity with the mind of Christ, consciousness of the indwelling Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – these things will indeed “crucify” the lusts and evil imaginations which feed them.
