<title>Was Isaiah a False Prophet?</title>

<description><![CDATA[I've noticed one all-too-common sacred cow in evangelical circles, and even some charismatics (but not as much) and it's the idea that if someone prophesies 99 things accurately that come to pass, but they say one thing that fails, they are a false prophet. How come if a teacher or pastor shares and preaches like 10 correct doctrines, but is mistaken about one thing, he's not a "false pastor" or "false teacher"? ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I've noticed, in general, after talking to some Christians over the years of my Christian walk a general attitude that can really discourage me if I let it, and the more I burn for Jesus and read the Word of God, the more this general trend in the Body of Christ annoys me and I refuse to succumb to it like the myriads of other 'balanced' Christians out there. I'm talking about apathy.]]></description>

<title>The Wedding at Cana - Why Did Jesus REALLY Make the Wine?</title>

<pubDate>Thu, 10 Jun 2010 16:39:19 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[If we read from Genesis to Revelation, Scripture begins with a wedding, ends with a wedding, and all through out The Bible the Kingdom of heaven is likened to a wedding; God's desired relationship and covenant with His people Israel in the Old Testament, and The Church included in the New Testament--it's always likened to a marriage covenant. We see books like Hosea, Ruth, and Song of Solomon really exemplifying this in the OT. In the New Testament, we read Jesus and Paul talking about the mystery of marriage being about Christ and us His Bride--the Church.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There's a misconception many evangelical Christians believe--whether subtly or overtly or just without really thinking about it: that the 7 churches John writes to in Revelation 2 and 3, are not just literal churches being written to, but are actually representative of church "ages", the last church therefore representing the age the church is allegedly currently living in. I've heard the late Leonard Ravenhill whom I respect immensely teach it this way; at a Promise Keepers event I went to, the president came on and shared about the time of history we're living in, and not that...]]></description>

<pubDate>Mon, 12 Jan 2009 15:33:56 -0600</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Here is the question I will tackle because numerous people in the last little while have approached me thinking that this is a loaded question that somehow single-handedly defeats all reason to believe in divine healing: If it's God's will that all should be healed, then there would be no sicknesses or diseases in the world at all, would there not? I hope respectfully to show that this is a weak and misguided argument. Merely pointing out the fact of something being God's will and pointing to the statistics of it not happening 100% ...]]></description>

<title>Divine Healing Questions Regarding Matthew 8</title>

<description><![CDATA[I'm reading through Matthew lately and noticed this chapter and details jumped out at me in such a way that I thought in a non-threatening way, I'd merely post most of the chapter here, and highlight and emphasize things and ask questions about it concerning the topic of, you guess it, healing. When he came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."]]></description>

<title>Divine Healing is Mechanical, Not Relational</title>

<pubDate>Wed, 15 Oct 2008 08:11:59 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[A quick look at Scripture to show how divine healing anointing is mechanical, and not relational.  Many people seem to operate mightily in the gift of divine healing, but have poor character or live in sin.  It could be said that divine healing anointing, in the hands of a Christian believer is like tools in the hands of a mechanic to get a purpose accomplished and something fixed.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If the internet is supposed to help connect us to each other, then how come so many relationships are suffering in personal human interaction?  Facebook and Myspace should not be used as a substitute for human interaction and the way we communicate with one another, but it should be used to enhance already existing relationships in my opinion.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I'd like to focus on the anointing, and talk about doing things in ministry with or without God's presence. It's very easy to do things without His presence and be content and satisfied that it was a "success"-even though the Lord might not have been with it.

<title>Is a Grain of Mustard Seed Really All it Takes?</title>

<description><![CDATA[Have you ever heard that statement "all you need is faith the size of a mustard seed and you can move a mountain"? The idea behind it whenever most Christians quote that comes from a misunderstanding that faith is not measurable, but we all have the same proportion. I hope in the next few paragraphs to show otherwise, and maybe we as a body of Christ could do away with that cliched saying that misinterprets Scripture.]]></description>
