• Work Out Your Own Salvation - Part 1 of 3. Be sure to watch all 3 parts!
    Welcome to another video of Misunderstood Texts of the Bible. This time I am returning to the Epistle of Paul to the Philippians and to the oft mentioned verse “Work out your own salvation...” oh, and with “fear and trembling”.
    This verse is, as is almost always the case, has been pulled out of context to justify the argument that salvation, eternal life, is to be worked for and that salvation is not based on faith by is obtained by works. Well, if you just read this verse, out of context and ignore the rest of Paul’s epistles, then I can see how you can certainly come to this conclusion. The problem is that we cannot ignore the rest of Paul’s epistles on the subject of how salvation is obtained and when scripture seems to contradict scripture we must examine the contradiction much more closely. For God is not double tongued, He doesn’t speak out of both sides of His mouth.
    First, let’s set the matter of how salvation is obtained in Paul’s epistles. Since Paul wrote this verse in Philippians, I will focus on what Paul has to say on this subject. In many of Paul letters, he makes it abundantly clear that salvation/eternal life is a gift from God and is not granted on the basis of works or merit on our part. Let’s see, here’s a few.
    Rom. 3:28, Rom. 4:5, Rom. 6:23, Gal. 2:16, Eph. 2:8-9, Titus 3:5

  • The scene from today’s Scripture passage (Mark 10:13-16) occurs not long after Jesus had made another comment about children. As Christ and the disciples were “[passing] through Galilee” (9:30), His disciples got into a quarrel about which of them was the greatest (vv. 33-34). Jesus knew what they’d been discussing, of course, but He didn’t preach a sermon against their sinful ambition. Instead, “He took a little child whom he placed among them” and said, “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me” (vv. 36-37). His object lesson about humility was obvious. That’s why it’s surprising when they “rebuked” people who were literally “bringing little children to Jesus” (10:13). They still hadn’t learned that “the kingdom of God belongs to such as these” (v. 14). As we express our childlike trust in Christ, we’ll want to welcome all who’re overlooked and undervalued.

  • The Advent Truth.
    The devil wants you to believe you’ve gone too far. Jesus says, “Come unto Me.”

    Maybe you’ve fallen. Maybe you’ve stumbled again. Maybe you’re tired of fighting the same battle. But hear this: the very fact that you’re still fighting is evidence that the Holy Spirit hasn’t given up on you.

    Jesus is still your High Priest. He still presents His blood before the Father on behalf of those who come to Him in repentance (Hebrews 7:25; 1 John 2:1-2). As long as there’s breath in your lungs, there’s still an invitation to receive His grace.

    Yes, we’re living in serious times. Prophecy is being fulfilled. The world is growing darker. But if all you do is stare at the storm, fear will consume you. Keep your eyes on the One who walks on the water.

    Revelation repeatedly says, “To him who overcomes…” The Greek idea isn’t describing someone who never falls. It’s describing the one who keeps overcoming—the one who refuses to quit. Proverbs 24:16 says, “For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again.” The righteous are not those who never fall; they’re the ones who, by God’s grace, keep getting back up.

    So when Satan whispers, “Stay down. God is finished with you,” answer him with the promises of Christ. Repent. Get back up. Keep walking. Keep trusting. Keep surrendering.

    Victory isn’t found in your strength. It’s found in abiding in Jesus.

    If you need prayer, you’re welcome to leave a comment (keeping in mind it’s a public forum), or send me a private message or email instead.

    Don’t quit now. We’re almost home.

  • The Kitchen Newsletter

    Good day,
    Welcome to The Kitchen, where we explore, prepare and serve the contents in the Body of the Word as the delicacies of God—to create the form of the Father on the earth, to make the earth in His likeness, and to take charge of the economic destinies of nations for God.

    Relax, and let's journey through the scriptures to see the Body of the Word.

    What if the descriptions of the body of Jesus Christ in Scripture are not merely descriptions of what John or Ezekiel saw—but windows into the invisible God?

    John was on Patmos when he heard a voice behind him. He turned, and what he saw was extraordinary: a figure like the Son of Man, standing among seven golden lampstands. His hair was white like wool, His eyes were like blazing fire, His feet like bronze glowing in a furnace, His voice like rushing waters, and His face like the sun in all its brilliance.

    John did not encounter an idea.

    He encountered a Person.

    He encountered Jesus Christ, the living Word of God, in the appearance of a man and with a body (Revelation 1:1–2, 12–17; Ezekiel 1:26).

    This gives us a remarkable way of reading Scripture: the Body of the Word is a revelation of the invisible God.

    Hebrews 1:3 calls Christ “the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being.” Paul similarly speaks of “the light of the knowledge of God’s glory” in the face of Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6).

    Therefore, when Scripture describes the eyes, face, feet, voice, garments, or other details of the Word, these descriptions are not empty imagery. They invite us to inquire into the Person they reveal.

    Consider the eyes.

    John says:

    “His eyes were like blazing fire.”
    — Revelation 1:14

    Why blazing fire?

    Hebrews 12:29 tells us, “Our God is a consuming fire.”

    The image therefore takes us beyond the physical description of eyes. It begins to tell us something about the nature, passion, desire and activity of God.

    The Body of the Word becomes a language through which the invisible God makes Himself known.

    And this is where the subject becomes particularly provocative.

    The Father has a hunger.

    We often speak about our hunger for God. But what if Scripture also teaches us to consider the hunger of God?

    Isaiah speaks of the tongue of the Lord as a consuming fire (Isaiah 30:27). Jesus declares:

    “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”
    — John 6:33

    And:

    “I am the bread of life.”
    — John 6:35

    Then He makes the statement even more striking:

    “This bread is my flesh.”
    — John 6:51

    The bread placed continually before God in the tabernacle was called the bread of the Presence (Exodus 25:30).

    So the Body of the Word is not merely something we study. In this revelation, the Body of the Word is the food of God—the object of the Father’s intense desire.

    The dining table becomes a powerful picture.

    Song of Solomon 7:2 speaks of a rounded goblet, blended wine and a mound of wheat. The imagery presents the Body as a place of nourishment and abundance.

    What if our understanding of the Body of the Word is itself part of the Father’s desire?

    What if the question is not merely, “How much do I know about God?”

    But:

    “What does God desire to find in me?”

    This takes us directly to the image of the blazing eyes.

    The eye is described by Jesus as the lamp of the body (Matthew 6:22). The blazing eyes of the Word therefore present another dimension of the Body: the lamp of God.

    A lamp searches.

    A lamp illuminates.

    A lamp reveals what is hidden.

    Psalm 11:5 says that the Lord examines the righteous, while Psalm 14:2 says that He looks down from heaven to see whether there is anyone who understands and seeks Him.

    Notice the connection.

    The blazing eyes are not merely looking at us.

    They are looking for something in us.

    They are looking for understanding.

    The Father is looking for the knowledge of the Body of the Word in the hearts and minds of His people.

    That changes the way we think about revelation.

    Psalm 119:130 says:

    “The unfolding of your words gives light and understanding to the simple.”

    The Word contains depths that must be unfolded.

    And when the details of the Body of the Word are unfolded, they bring light—the revelation knowledge of the Father (Psalm 119:130; 2 Corinthians 4:6).

    This is also why Jesus said:

    “These are the Scriptures that testify about me.”
    — John 5:39

    The Scriptures are not merely information about religious subjects. They testify about a Person.

    The descriptions of the Body of the Word therefore become places of investigation.

    The eyes speak.

    The face speaks.

    The feet speak.

    The garments speak.

    The voice speaks.

    And through these descriptions, we begin to encounter dimensions of the Person of the Word—and consequently dimensions of the Father.

    The emotions of God are also revealed.

    Isaiah 59:17 describes God clothing Himself with zeal “as a cloak.”

    A garment covers and expresses the person wearing it.

    If the garments of God are described through Scripture, and Scripture testifies about the Word, then the imagery of God's garments becomes another doorway into understanding His Person.

    The Body of the Word, therefore, becomes a profound vocabulary for understanding the emotions of God.

    His zeal.

    His longing.

    His desire.

    His hunger.

    His compassion.

    His grief.

    His expectation.

    His pleasure.

    His intensity.

    These are not abstract theological categories. They are dimensions of the Person of God that Scripture progressively reveals.

    And who searches these depths for us?

    The Holy Spirit.

    Jesus says in John 16:13–15 that the Spirit of truth will take what belongs to Christ and make it known to us.

    Paul adds:

    “The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”
    — 1 Corinthians 2:10

    The Body of the Word is therefore not a closed mystery.

    It is a treasury to be searched.

    The Holy Spirit searches the deep things of God and unfolds them so that we can know the Father more precisely.

    This is why revelation is more than acquiring information.

    Revelation is discovering what is already contained in the Person of the Word.

    And perhaps this explains one of the great spiritual questions of our time:

    Why does God seem to be searching the hearts of His people?

    Because the Father is looking for a place where the Body of theWord can be understood.

    He is looking for hearts that can become tables upon which His food is received.

    He is looking for minds that can accommodate the revelation of His Son.

    He is looking for people who will not merely quote Scripture, but will allow Scripture to reveal the Person of Christ.

    The blazing eyes of the Word are still searching.

    And the question is:

    What are they looking for in us?

    Perhaps the answer is simpler—and more demanding—than we imagined:

    Understanding.

    An understanding of the Body of the Word.

    An understanding of the Father.

    An understanding deep enough to shape how we live, how we build, how we govern, how we work, and ultimately how we participate in the economic destinies of nations.

    The Father wants His form reproduced on the earth through people who have seen, understood and received the revelation of the Body of the Word.

    This is why we must return to Scripture—not merely to read it, but to unfold it.

    Because somewhere within the details is light.

    And somewhere within the light is the knowledge of the Father.

    And somewhere within that knowledge is the revelation of the Person of the Word.
