  • Does it give PEACE?

    R. T. Kendall once shared an acrostic using the word ‘PEACE’ – to help discern whether or not something is of God: P – Providential: Ask, is it providential? (Don’t try forcing a round peg into a square hole.) E – Enemy: Ask yourself what would the enemy want me to do? (Then do the opposite.) A…

  • All about Jesus

    Every single text of Scripture points to Christ….From Moses to the prophets. He is the focus of every single word of the Bible. Every verse of Scripture finds its fulfillment in Him, and every story in the Bible ends with Him. R.T.

  • Biblical community

    COMMUNITY: NON-NEGOTIABLE A solitary faith is not a Christian faith. Our North American culture places high value on independence and individualism, so it can be difficult for us to understand the necessity of community. Why can’t it just be me and we think, toting our Bibles off in some lone—ranger mission to save the world.…

  • Valuable works

    For living the most exemplary Christian life after-on e‘s conversion does not make a person ‘more certain’ .of gomg to Heaven. If a person thinks that living the most consistent godly life will help him along a bit with respect to his salvation, he ‘betrays his lack of belief in Christ’s atonement. Worst of all,…

  • None despair

    But as Spurgeon put it we have only one death-bed conversion in the New Testament (the thief on the cross) We do have one ‘that none may despair, but only one that none dare presume’. The thief on the cross is a comfort for those of us who fervently hope for some of our loved…

  • Once saved …

    We are not saying once baptised, always, saved. we are not saying once having made a profession, always saved. We are not saying once having come forward or walked up the aisle always saved. It is once saved, always saved. R.T. KendallClick to Tweet

  • Testimony of tithing

    The word of our testimony is one of the factors by which we overcome the world. I have the testimony that the only times I have suffered financially since becoming a Christian were when I neglected to tithe. This was usually done out of carelessness because I have always believed in tithing. However, every time…

  • Worshipping the Spirit

    Some Christians feel uncomfortable about worshipping and adoring the Spirit because the Authorised Version (King James) translated John 16:33 – referring to the Holy Spirit – “He shall not speak of himself”, a verse that should be translated “He will not speak on His own.” R.T.

  • The Lord told me?

    What must be avoided in any case is people saying “Thus saith the Lord” or the “The Lord told me”. Speaking like this is not only highly presumptuous, but is taking the name of the Lord in vain. It is simply unnecessary to bring the Lord’s name in when we think we have a word…

  • Dove

    The dove is not the only way the Holy Spirit is depicted in the New Testament. He can be seen, described, or symbolised as fire, wind, water and possibly oil. But why the dove? The dove is in fact a wild bird; it cannot be trained or domesticated even though it is a gentle bird.…
