Why Jesus was 40 Days in the Wilderness – Jesus began his very short ministry at the age of 30. Why did he spend the first 40 days in the wilderness away from any other people? What very important event preceded and necessitated this time alone? What God teaches us in our times alone with Him is necessary to any ministry. Without it we fall prey to the god of deceit.
The Death of Dogma – Ephesians 2 says that the law of commandments contained in ordinances was enmity (conflict), and that Jesus abolished them in his flesh. Colossians 2 says that Jesus took these ordinances and nailed them to his cross. What the heck do these Scriptures mean? Understanding them will change the way we look at everything man says in the name of his God.
Feelings , – Feelings, nothing more than feelings! But they are important, aren’t they? They lead us in paths of righteousness, do they not? Let’s take a look at what the Bible has to say about our feelings; what good they are, and what is the proper priority they should play in our lives.
The Subjectivity of Truth – How the truth is subjective (not relative). In order to allow for individuality, the truth of God and the Bible allows for absolute subjectivity. We get into trouble when we compare the truth in one to the truth in another. God’s love can only operate in the sphere of subjective truth.
Holy and Without Blame – This phrase, used in Ephesians, is difficult to understand, especially as applied to ourselves in the context of how we actually too often behave, think and feel. Did God really mean this about us, now and forever?
In Tune with God – What reconciliation, or atonement really means, which both mean to be brought into harmony with God. How and why God did this. How it allows for extreme individuality. How it results in a song for the ages.
Christ, the Wisdom of God – When Christians think “wisdom” they often think of Proverbs. This is good, fleshly wisdom. But there is a greater wisdom – Christ. What this means. How Christ is actually God’s wisdom.
Alpha and Omega – Because of erroneous translation, most Christians today believe that Jesus Christ is the “Alpha and Omega” of the book of Revelation. But this is absolutely not true. We take a close look at specific verses in the first chapter of Revelation.
In the Name of Jesus – Is this just a formulaic expression which needs to be invoked in order to activate God? If not, what does it actually mean? Greater understanding brings greater power and efficacy into our lives. The truth really is majestically potent!
Jesus the Christ now our Lord – “Jesus” is a name which millions of people have. “Christ” was not Jesus’ last name. “Lord” was not his title while he lived on the earth. But put them all together, and you have the power which saves mankind and redeems all of creation!
