Meet It

  God is love. He first loved mankind, and desires mankind to love Him in return.   However, for true love to exist, both parties must be given the opportunity to say, ‘No.’   God has given His intelligent creation this opportunity. The chief cause of problems and distresses in our world is, the poor choice made when it comes to this quality called love.   The quality from which all that is good is derived.   In reality, most people do not make love their choice. Instead, they choose lust, control, passion, money, infatuation, status, pity, convenience, even idolatry, and these are mistaken for love, and are termed, love. However, selfishness is at the root of all these that pose as love. Rightly defined, love is godly principle that is interwoven with threads of fond feeling, and is activated solely by freedom of choice.   A choice that develops into relationships that are affectionately principled.   This is true love – the love that never fail...

  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.   All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.   John 1:1, 3, 14 Jesus is God the Word, who in the beginning created all things.   He spoke and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.   Every sound that came from His mouth, and everything in creation that those sounds produced or created bears His name – WORD; and consists of Him.

Jesus says that without Him man can do nothing, and nothing means absolutely nothing. In Him man lives, and moves, and have his being. Those who refuse to recognize and acknowledge Jesus, the Word, as the Creator of all th...

  "For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten." Ecclesiastes 9:5   The first lie uttered on the earth began with a question initiating doubt in God’s expectations (Genesis 3:1). Planting this seed of doubt in God’s clear instructions opened the door for the longest sustained lie on the earth – “Ye shall not surely die” (Genesis 3:4). At the foundation of this and all lies is a distrust of God’s word. To overcome all lies we must come to a full belief in all of God’s Words.   God had formed man from the dust of the earth (Genesis 2:7). After forming the man God “breathed into his nostrils the breath of life” this animated the man making him a living being. Because God is life anything that comes out of Him carries life with it – breath, word, etc. (John 14:6). When Adam sinned, the consequence was that he would return to the dust from which he came (Genesis 3:19)....
