Nothing Can Separate Us

Before you read this you should take a few minutes and read all the books of the Old Testament...OK now read all of the books New Testament...Now that you’re done - Just kidding! – but when I read them I found out that...

1. There is only One God.

OT: “Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is One...” (Deuteronomy 6:4)

NT: “For there is one God and one mediator between God and man...the man Christ Jesus...” (1 Timothy 2:5)

2. God owns everything and everyone and it is His WILL to save everyone.

OT: “The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it” (Psalm 24:1) 


NT: ”He made known to us the mystery of His will....who works all things after the counsel of His will...who will have all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth" (Ephesians 1:7-11; 1 Timothy 2:4)

3. Only God possesses immortality, everyone else dies.

OT: “...for dust you are and to dust you will return...the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.” (Genesis 3:19; Ecclesiastes 12:7)

NT: “...the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone possesses immortality...” (1 Timothy 6:15)

 4. All will be saved from death and reconciled to God.

OT: “I will cleanse you from all your filthiness...I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you...you will be my people, and I will be your God...I will save you...” (Ezekiel 36:25-39)

NT: “As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive...He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins...and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.” (1 Corinthians 15:22; Colossians 1:13-20)

And so I am in agreement with Paul when he says…

“...I am convinced that neither death, nor life...nor things to come...nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord...God is love…love keeps no record of wrongs…” (Romans 8:38-39; 1 John 4:8; 1 Corinthians 13)

 Nothing can separate people from God.

Breathtaking Stupidity

My own stupidity is breathtaking, but I am learning to trust in the  “mysterious and hidden wisdom of God”  that His Spirit reveals from time to time. “Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become stupid, so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is stupidity in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.”  And again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile. ” Therefore, stop boasting in men. All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All of them belong to you, and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.” (1 Corinthians 3:18-23) It has taken me years to become stupid after thinking I was wise in this age. The wisdom of the world is what I was taught in school. Yet God says that the wisdom of the greatest minds of men is futile - ineffective. So, I rarely “boast in men” b...

Trust Him, He's Got This!

"I can assure you that they are deeply devoted to God; but their devotion is not based on true knowledge." (Romans 10:2 NLT) "These ignorantly zealous persons think altogether too much of themselves. According to their idea it would seem to be a marvel how ever the Lord got along before they were born, and altogether a dead certainty that He will have to suspend operations altogether after they are dead." - Arthur P. Adams Such seems to be the state of many evangelists I have heard over the years. “Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world." (Psalm 46:10 NLT) Trust Him, He's got this!

The Unpardonable Sin - What is it?

"…Whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come." (Matthew 12:32) This verse scares the crap out of some folks. They are not sure what it means but have been told by Christianity that it is unpardonable, and anyone who commits it can’t be saved and will be tortured in hell forever. But what does the above verse really mean? Well it helps to read all the Scripture to know, but here in a nutshell is what I found: 1. The "Holy Spirit" is the "spirit of truth" (John 16:3) 2. “No one can say, 'Jesus is Lord', except by the Holy Spirit “ (1 Corinthians 12:3) 3. "...every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord..." (Philippians 2:10-11) 4. Christ Jesus is  "the Savior of the world” (John 4:42). 5. "...when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth..." (John 16:3) Failing to believe the "truth" revealed b...
