"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye" (Psalm 32:8). I'm afraid that most people have been told a lie. God's plan is not to make you happy and healthy. God's plan is to test you and form you into the image of…
"One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God" (Matt 3: 4). Many people act as if after the Bible was completed, God stopped speaking. This is because a lot of people misunderstand the Bible's true purpose. And this, in turn, has led many people to…
“And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” (John 8:32). A claim is a statement that is either true or false. If the statement is neither true nor false, it is not a claim. Truth is the description of the quality of a claim. A claim is true when the statement…

"Being then made free from sin, you became the servants of righteousness" (Rom 6:18*). The Greek word that is translated as sin is hamartia. It is usually defined as “missing the mark.” Which gives one the picture of aiming an arrow at a target but missing it. This is not what it means. Sin is…
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will…
