ONE MESSAGE. ONE FAITH.

Romans 16:25-26 25  Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 26  But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:-  There is a certain way to preach Christ. He is not to be preached according to what feels right or good or exciting to our ears or minds. Christ is to be preached according to the mystery that is now made manifest. This mystery is now revealed. What is that mystery? How is it revealed? to whom is it revealed? 1. What is that mystery? Let's look at what the bible says about "the mystery" Mark 4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the  mystery  of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: What is...

Colossians 2:8-10, 12 KJV Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. sin nailed to the cross - image from web Philosophy, traditions, and all the other ways man uses to try and  understand God can only get us so far- if anywhere at all. Sometimes fooling with the newest method and the trendiest biblical insight, or perspectives, takes us in circles. The surest way to learn God, and to get understanding of His Word is through the Holy Ghost. 1 Corinthians 2:11 tells us that only the Spirit of God can know the things of God. And everything that is God, can be found bodily in Christ. In Christ we a...

Leviticus 24:2 The continual burning of the candles in the temple depended on the pure oil. If the flame is burnt out in your spiritual life, if the passion has regressed, and the zeal has subsided, it may be time for an oil check. Our purity is threatened by the hundreds with each passing second of our life on earth; and this is without our direct influence. Add our lifestyle choices to the mix, especially those that we've justified as "not that bad", and you've got the recipe for some good 'ol spiritual fire extinguisher, or worse, a flame retardant. If you want the joy and passion of salvation restored,check your oil. See what "dead flies" Ecclesiastes 10:1  or "leaven" 1 Corinthians 5:6-7   may be corrupting your spirit, and hindering you from being on fire for God. Warmest thoughts and prayers, Chantel

1 Corinthians 10:1-3   They all were under the cloud They all passed through the sea They were ALL baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea They all ate the same spiritual meat They all drank the same spiritual drink They drank of that spiritual Rock That Rock was Christ. Sound familiar? One Lord (the Rock) One faith (spiritual meat & drink) One baptism (the cloud & sea) Not just some -they all -Chantel

1 Corinthians 10 1Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. I read this today and even until now, as I prepare to sleep, it has been on my mind. 1 Corinthians 10: 1-4 speaks of sameness and unity. They all passed through, they all were under, they all ate and drank of the same Rock, the Rock Christ Jesus. What unified them? They all escaped the plague of death by the same method- the application of the blood of the lamb (Exodus 12:3,7 & 13). They all were saved from the egyptians by the same source- passing THROUGH the water of the RED SEA (Exodus 14:29). They all were guided by the same thing- the theophany of God, his Holy Spirit mani...
