The Danger of a Foreign Spiritual Influence in Intermarriage

Last updated on: March 5, 2006 at 1:40 pm By Jim Erwin

The Danger of a Foreign Spiritual Influence in Intermarriage Therefore take careful heed to yourselves, that you love the LORD your God. Or else, if indeed you do go back, and cling to the remnant of these nations–these that remain among you–and make marriages with them, and go in to them and they to you, know for certain that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. But they shall be snares and traps... Read more

Marital Love is Not Your Usual Yada Yada

Last updated on: March 1, 2006 at 1:17 pm By Jim Erwin

Marital Love is Not Your Usual Yada Yada Have you seen these statements when you download something from Google? It will say something like: “Please read, this is not your usual yada yada.” Yada is the Hebrew word for knowledge, or in the basic verb form – to know. This verb has many meanings in the Old Testament. You can know a thing, a place, a person. You can say you are acquainted with a person, in which you know.... Read more

The Bite and Sting of Alcohol

Last updated on: March 1, 2006 at 12:41 pm By Jim Erwin

The Bite and Sting of Alcohol Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has contentions? Who has complaints? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes? Those who linger long at the wine, Those who go in search of mixed wine. Do not look on the wine when it is red, When it sparkles in the cup, When it swirls around smoothly; At the last it bites like a serpent, And stings like a viper. Your eyes will... Read more

Responsible Love and Anger

Last updated on: February 28, 2006 at 5:11 pm By Jim Erwin

Responsible Love and Anger My dear brothers and sisters, be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Your anger can never make things right in God’s sight. (James 1:19-20 NLT) The Bible encourages me to be “slow to be angry.” Why does it say this in this fashion? The reason is because anger is a reaction, not a response. Of course, every reaction is a response, but some reactions are not good responses. When you get... Read more

Is Gender an Option?

Last updated on: February 28, 2006 at 2:22 pm By Jim Erwin

Is Gender an Option? “A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the LORD your God. (Deuteronomy 22:5 NKJV) I watched a “Larry King Live” show last week (and it came again Sunday as a repeat)on CNN on the theme trans genders. There is a current movie out called “Transamerica” about a man who tries to become a woman.... Read more

Responsible Love Requires Costly Grace

Last updated on: February 28, 2006 at 1:40 pm By Jim Erwin

Responsible Love Requires Costly Grace What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even... Read more

Temptation is Being Tricked to be Irresponsible

Last updated on: February 28, 2006 at 1:12 pm By Jim Erwin

Temptation is Being Tricked to be Irresponsible And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. (Matthew 6:13 NKJV) Dietrich Bonhöffer once said: Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility. Every behavior requires a choice. Every choice is based on a belief. To properly respond (or to make the right choice in a situation) requires knowing what is... Read more

Restraining Yourself with Physical Reins of Control

Last updated on: February 13, 2006 at 8:04 am By Jim Erwin

Restraining Yourself with Physical Reins of Control Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. Romans 13:13 (NKJV) Christians are called by the Bible to walk properly. The emphasis in our walk is to be in the day as opposed in the night. The use of the word day is used in the New Testament to describe good character. We walk in public in a... Read more

Fasting is Feasting on God in Prayer “Say to all the people of the land, and to the priests: “When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months during those seventy years, did you really fast for Me–for Me? (Zechariah 7:5 NKJV) Fasting is feasting on God in prayer. When someone has a feast, they literally stuff themselves full of good food.

The Real Olympic Parade

Last updated on: May 31, 2018 at 1:40 pm By Jim Erwin

The Real Olympic Parade Revelation 19:1-9 I have been watching the Olympic procession of athletes for the Winter Olympic in Torino, Italy. It always amazes me to see how the opening ceremonies are presented. As I watch the torch is being lit. This traditionally starts the Olympic Games. Nice effects. Lots of light and fire. But before the big lighting of the torch, there were these ceremonial rituals. First came the procession of the athletes from each nation. They... Read more
