And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. He is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence.; for it pleased the Father that in Him should all fulness dwell. (Colossians 1:17-19)
Religion has confined Jesus to the altars and pulpits of church buildings. But the Bible says that all things, visible and invisible are held by Him. Science has discovered that all matter is held by the smallest particle called atom. … Continue reading

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. (1 Corinthians 2:12)
Believers do not experience freedom in their Christian life because they haven’t been told what’s freely been given through Christ. Paul by the Spirit says here that we’ve not been given the spirit of the world. What is the spirit … Continue reading

This I say then, “Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16)
Have you tried to be more Christ like but ended up sinning instead? I can understand the frustration. Let me first show you the “popular” preaching that goes by this verse. I’m sure many would be able to relate to … Continue reading
For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. (1 Peter 4:6)
We’ve all heard sermons on how God judged the world with a massive flood and how the world was destroyed (except Noah and his family) by the flood. We’ve heard sermons on how God judged the cities of Sodom and … Continue reading
The eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray you, of whom speaks the prophet this? Of himself, or of some other man? (Acts 8:34)
Here is a beautiful account of how an Ethiopian eunuch receives Jesus. This eunuch is on his way back from Jerusalem through the desert strip of Gaza to Ethiopia. In the olden days, kings appoint eunuchs as bodyguards for their … Continue reading
But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people. (Hebrews 9:7)
This is the reality of your new identity: sin cannot tarnish your new identity in Christ! Even when you sin, your new born again identity in the spirit stays intact! By saying that I’m not advocating sin, but when you … Continue reading
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands in sunder. (Psalm 107:14)
This is a wonderful prophecy of the upcoming mission that our Lord Jesus accomplished at the cross. The phrase “shadow of death” has always intrigued me because I couldn’t get my head around understanding it! I know death is the … Continue reading
Jesus answering said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?” (Luke 17:17)
This is the famous passage of the healing of the ten lepers. Before I show the beauty of Jesus’ grace in this passage I want to show the two sects of people that lived during the time of Jesus’ ministry. … Continue reading
Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin; for His seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. (1 John 3:9)
The whole epistle of first John expounds on the qualities of a believer and an unbeliever. When this epistle is not read in this perspective, the verses can confound and confuse the reader about the surety of one’s salvation. This … Continue reading
For if you live after the flesh, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live. (Romans 8:13)
A few years back, before my blinded eyes were opened to the gospel of grace, I used to attend an annual retreat seminar. This was a week long retreat and we spend time in the Bible, listening to preachers. Then … Continue reading
