Death Defined – Concerning Them which Are Asleep (Part 8)

June 1, 2019

Adam lived to be 930 years old. What died the day he ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil? We know it wasn’t his body because if it had, we wouldn’t be here. His soul didn’t go immediately to Sheol, so it wasn’t his soul. Adam breathing, eating, and procreating after he ate the forbidden fruit is evidence that death is not a cessation of existence; it is a change of state.

She Is not Dead, but Sleepeth – Concerning Them which Are Asleep (Part 5)

May 4, 2019

The Lord doesn’t use language haphazardly. As odd or bizarre as His statements may seem, they are true statements.

Loosed from Death (Loosed by the Blood – Part 5)

March 11, 2017

We were ransomed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. His blood ate away like acid the cords that bound us. The ropes of sin could not longer tie us down to death, division, and a destroyed destiny.

The Purchase of Blood (Part 1) – Redemption Redefined

January 20, 2017

The purchase of blood is Christianity 101, a foundational truth of our faith that we need to understand. If you have been in the faith for a long time, you might not find much new here. But it would grieve me not to remind you of these things. And as we proceed, you may find that your foundation could use some shoring up.
