In Defense Of Obligation
|
|
Christian ethics,
and how our present culture is straying from this standard. Because God
commands, man has moral duties, which he ignores to his own peril. The
concept of a moral ladder is described, which helps a person climb out
of rebellion to be able to do the will of God with joy from the heart,
which is the goal. Obligation and duty stand at the threshold of temptation
and obedience, and alert us to an opportunity to act, consistent with
our commitments and promises. By

The Manifestation
Of Prophecy |
|
Biblically, prophecy
is speaking for God, energized by His holy spirit. In the Old Testament,
prophesying was basically confined to those with the God-given office
of a prophet, upon whom God had placed His spirit. Men such as Nathan
spoke for God to give people direction, correction and information about
God's will for their lives. Since the Day of Pentecost, everyone who believes
in Jesus Christ as Lord receives the gift of holy spirit, and with it
the ability to prophesy. Several times in I Corinthians 14, God encourages
all Christians to speak for Him via prophecy to edify, exhort and
comfort their brethren. The same specific, personal guidance from a loving
heavenly Father is available today just as it has always been. This teaching
gives the Scriptural basis for personal prophecy today, a way by which
the power of God can deeply touch His people. By

The
Art Of Forgiveness

|
This teaching contains
information you can utilize for the rest of your life, because we live
in a fallen world where sin plagues even the most mature Christian. Biblical
forgiveness (not compromise) is an integral part of true love, and it
is indispensable for spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health.
You will see from Scripture that the key to you extending forgiveness
(and thus the heart of Christ) to someone who wrongs you is your understanding
of God's forgiveness of you in Christ. The teaching shows what forgiveness
is, why we need to learn this art and how to practice it. By

Entrusting
Yourself to God |
|
This teaching asks
you as a Christian to consider the depth to which the sin nature you inherited
from the first Adam has infected your life. At the same time, it assures
you from Scripture that the divine nature of the last Adam (Jesus Christ)
gives you the ability to overcome whatever "giants" you may
find in the "promised land" of your heart. It shows you how
to recognize and deal with the ways in which your inherent human selfishness
corrupts your ability to give and receive love. It will help you recognize
and remove the "beam" from your own eye so you can help your
brother remove the "speck" in his eye. By

A Biblical View
Of Our Emotions |
|
Many Christians are
taught to ignore their emotions, or else categorize them as either "good"
or "bad." From the biblical perspective, however, all emotions
are valid, but they must be evaluated on the basis of their intensity,
duration and appropriateness. Where "religion" often leads people
into bondage, denial and inappropriate emotional responses, the truth
of God's Word sets us free to follow the example of our Savior and honestly
and openly experience the full range of godly human emotions. This teaching
will help you face your feelings and still govern your actions by the
Word of God, which is exactly how Jesus Christ lived. By

Let Us Praise
|
|
Throughout the Bible,
God commands His people to praise Him. Why? This teaching suggests an
answer to that question. It focuses on praise, worship and thanksgiving
toward God as fundamental to a Christian's emotional, mental and spiritual
health. It shows how praise helps to "pull down strongholds,"
both in our own minds and in the realm of spiritual warfare. It shows
how praise can lead to a life full of joy by helping a Christian focus
on God and the Lord Jesus Christ rather than on negative circumstances
or his own human weaknesses. Praise God! By

Let Us Pray |
|
Certainly one of
the most fundamental issues in Scripture is prayer. This teaching shows
what prayer is and also sets forth the benefits of our prayer-for God,
for ourselves, for our brethren in the Body of Christ and for those yet
to believe in Him. It then centers on Jesus Christ as the example of how
to pray, by looking at His prayer life as well as His teachings about
prayer. The teaching show how the fallacy that "God is totally in
control of everything" greatly dilutes a Christian's prayer life,
and shows that our prayers are, in fact, a catalyst for change, thereby
making us part of "His-story."

Eat, Drink and Remember
|
|
This teaching sets
forth one of the most practical keys given in the Bible as to how to maintain
one's fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ. It examines the comparison
between eating and drinking physical food and "eating" and "drinking"
spiritual food. It shows how the record in John 6 clearly lays the groundwork
to understand what Jesus meant at "the last supper" when He
told His disciples to remember Him whenever they ate or drank. It shows
how the early Church did this regularly at mealtimes, rather than in a
special ceremony. By

Crazy About God
|
|
This teaching addresses
the fundamental motivation in a Christian's life his love for God. It
shows that one's love for God is the key to obeying Him, intimately knowing
Him and His Son Jesus Christ and maximizing one's spiritual potential.
it the discusses how to grow (not "fall") in love with God and
Jesus Christ. A pivotal point made in this teaching is that your love
for God is directly proportional to your understanding of God's love for
you, Another is that in order to know and love God, one must first know
and love Jesus Christ, who alone makes known His Father. The teaching
shows how one's relationship with Jesus Christ is the key to his relationship
with others in the Body of Christ. It also encourages you to develop "iron-sharpening-iron"
relationships with other Christians, your brethren in Christ, in order
to fully develop your spiritual potential in serving the Lord. By

The Interpretation Of Tongues |
|
This teaching shows
that each person who believes in Jesus Christ as Lord receives from Him
the gift of holy spirit, the very nature of God. Like a Swiss Army knife
with a number of possible functions, the gift of holy spirit has nine
manifestations, or ways it can be utilized. One of these manifestations
is speaking in tongues, and another is the interpretation of tongues.
Never does God's Word call either of these "gifts," but rather
"manifestations" of the one gift of holy spirit. The teaching
explains why speaking in tongues is praise, worship and thanksgiving directed
to God, and that thus the interpretation of tongues must, of course, be
the same thing. The teaching concludes by showing you how developing a
"praise vocabulary" makes you more adept at excelling in edifying
the Body of Christ by speaking in tongues and interpreting in a Christian
fellowship. By

The
"Sons of God" Of Genesis Six
To read a transcription of this teaching, click
here. |
|
This teaching explains
one of the first Satanic attacks on mankind to stop the promised "seed"
of Genesis 3:15 from being born. Both prior to the Flood of Noah's time,
and afterward, certain evil spirits violated a prohibition of God, took
on human form and mated with women. These are the spirits currently "in
prison." The result was genetic aberration called the Nephilim, which
means "fallen ones." The truth regarding this subject is the
key to understanding why God sent the Flood, and why He was so insistent
that the people of Israel in Joshua's time kill every single living Canaanite,
etc. Both of these things were completely consistent with God's nature
of love and righteousness. It also shows that no matter how big the enemy,
e.g., Goliath, (one of the Nephilim), a believer can triumph with the
power of God. By
