“No one puts new wine into old wineskins. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately […]
I received this question via email, “Could you help me get clarity on why in John 20:23 Jesus gave the apostles authority to forgive and retain sin when Jesus had already taken care of the sin of the world? This is a good question and this verse is greatly misunderstood. We must keep in mind […]
Jesus did not die for your sins, He died for sin. Sin not sins! With that statement, you are either rejoicing, shocked, or confused. In the KJV of the Bible, the word sin is mentioned forty-five times in the book of Romans and forty-four of those times it is a noun, only once is it […]
I’ve noticed that people who don’t understand what or who grace is, either misuse it or they attack it. Grace for me was a revelation of absolute acceptance by God. It was the revelation that I’m completely forgiven and that I’m righteous now and always. That my righteousness is His, it is based on the finished work of […]
Hypergrace, according to some in the church world, is a dangerous and unbiblical teaching. They say that preachers that preach God’s grace as “hyper” have taken grace too far.

This sermon painted God as full of anger and vengeful toward sinners. Let’s read an excerpt from this sermon: The God that holds you over […]
This myth is repeated often in church. Sometimes it is said from one believer to another, “you just need to put that sin under the blood” or we are assured by the speaker that our sins are under the blood of Jesus. You may be thinking, “well, aren’t they?” NO! Jesus Christ did not come […]
In my many years now as a believer, I have discovered that there is a huge difference between the traditional view of prayer and what the Bible teaches. Most of us have been taught that if we would just pray long and hard enough and not give up, that eventually God will answer our prayers. […]
Luke 1:26-38 (NKJV) 26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And having come in, the angel said to […]
Did Jesus say, “thank you” to the wise men? He could have, because He was about two years old when the wise men presented their gifts to Him. That’s the biblical truth of the matter! I just this week attended a local church production of the “The Nativity Story”. It was well done and a […]
