The Assurance of Jesus Christ’s Return

Last updated on: March 4, 2019 at 1:21 pm By Jack Wellman

There are dozens of Bible verses about the return of God or of Jesus Christ, and the certainty of His second coming. Mourning His Return Most every believer I know of has a deep down desire for Jesus Christ to return…even today, and we have that assurance from Scripture, but what about those who have all their lives rejected Him? They won’t be thrilled as His return. The Apostle John wrote, “Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every... Read more

What is Common Grace?

Last updated on: March 3, 2019 at 7:33 pm By Jack Wellman

We know we are saved by the grace of God, but what is “common grace?” Gift of Grace The Bible is clear that we cannot save ourselves by doing good works. Our works are nothing more than filthy rags to God (Isaiah 64:6), so “all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them”...

What The Bible Says About Judging Others

Last updated on: March 3, 2019 at 12:24 pm By Jack Wellman

It’s so easy to judge others and others to judge us, but we can be wrong, and so can they, so here’s what the Bible says about judging. Judging Others When Jesus was speaking about judging others, He wasn’t saying we don’t make judgments about people. For example, we make judgments about whether someone would be a good spouse or not by the way they treat their mother, how they are around children and pets, and other situations, and if...

How Generosity Changes the World…And You!

Last updated on: February 27, 2019 at 12:21 pm By Jack Wellman

If we really understood how good things happen to those who are generous, we might all be a little more generous to others. Blessed by Giving God often uses others as a means to bless people, and so it is with believer’s who know enough to help when they see the need, but something more happens…sometimes later, or sometimes sooner…the person who gives is blessed. It may not be financial blessings but maybe a new relationship, a new opportunity, or... Read more

On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand

Last updated on: February 25, 2019 at 12:17 pm By Jack Wellman

Where you stand on Christ will determine whether you fall or not. The Solid Rock The old hymn, Rock of Ages, refers to Jesus as a cleft for letting us hide in Him, “as the water and the blood, from Thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, save from wrath and make me pure,” and it does purify us in God’s sight. The Apostle Paul says that it was “For our sake he made him to... Read more

What Is Spiritualism?

Last updated on: February 21, 2019 at 8:25 pm By Jack Wellman

What is spiritualism? It is something that should be taught or is practiced in the Bible? The Spirit World There is another world out there that we don’t see. It includes both holy angels and fallen angels, now called demons. They seek to do harm to the church and to believers, but they have their limitations. Still, evil or unclean spirits can sometimes mimic or imitate lost loved ones, but that’s probably not why they’re called “familiar spirits.” In the... Read more

What Is The Spiritual Gift Of Teaching? Do I Have It?

Last updated on: February 18, 2019 at 12:02 pm By Jack Wellman

How can you know whether you have the gift of teaching? Spiritual Gifts The Apostle Paul writes more about the gifts of the Spirit than any other author in the Bible, so he is the best source for finding out what the spiritual gifts are and what their purpose is. Another good question is, “How can I know what my spiritual gift is? Do I have more than one gift?” The answer to the second question is likely yes, because... Read more

Discovering The Gifts Of The Spirit

Last updated on: February 17, 2019 at 9:47 pm By Jack Wellman

How can you know which gift(s) of the Spirit you have? There is a way. Gifts of the Spirit The Apostle Paul has written a lot about spiritual gifts. To begin with, he says that “there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone” (1st Cor 12:4-6), and “To each is given...

My Son’s in Prison – Ministering to Mothers of Prisoners

Last updated on: February 7, 2019 at 3:24 pm By Jack Wellman

In many prison ministries, mothers are often forgotten, but ministering to mothers of prisoners should also be a part of a prison ministry. My Son’s in Prison! I once received a message from a mother that just broke my heart. She said, “My son murdered my grandson…now he’s in prison for life! What am I going to do? I can’t go on. Please help me.” She was at a loss about what to do and I was at a loss... Read more
