There are these descriptions of Jesus' words in the gospels:
Matthew 5
31 “It was said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a legal document.’
32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Matthew 19
3 Then some Pharisees came to him in order to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful to divorce a wife for any cause?”
4 He answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator made them male and female,

The Problem With Anger
Unresolved anger can consume a soul; it can become a literal hell not only for the embittered person, but for those who live with them as well. Thus, Jesus strongly warned of anger's terrible impact. He said,
WHAT IS THE CROSS
What is the cross. Two pieces of wood put together in a T form? A piece of jewelry that some people wear on a chain, as earrings, on a charm bracelet? It is found on churches, hung on walls in homes, headstones in a cemetary. It is seen everywhere, but is the meaning of the cross understood? People know a man died on that cross. But do they know, really know who that man was? Do they understand what was done on that cross?
WHAT IS THE CROSS Part II
The cross was known to be the most painful and humiliating ways of death. It was designed to bring the utmost suffering for the longest period. Some took 3 or more days to die. What they went thru we cannot imagine.
Beware of the Stronghold of Cold Love
By Francis Frangipane
Is your love growing and becoming softer, brighter, more daring and more visible? Or is it becoming more discriminating, more calculating, less vulnerable and less available? This is a very important issue, for your Christianity is only as real as your love. A measurable decrease in your ability to love is evidence that a stronghold of cold love is developing within you.
Guard Against Unforgiveness!
Exodus 32:22 KJV “And Aaron said, “Let not the anger of my lord grow hot: you know the people, that they are set on mischief.â€
This scripture relates to the Israelites when they turned to idols. Since I am an American, I have to write about my country for it’s all I know. If you can, you can also look at your country’s history and see where it stands with God instead of your own idols.
"Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with what is my own? Or is your
eye envious because I am generous?" Mt. 20:15
The only comparison allowed in the kingdom of God is comparison against
oneself. The kingdom of God functions on an individualized system of justice
and reward in which each member is tried on the merits of His own
faithfulness and obedience to the Spirit of God against a Father-ordained
potential. This is contrary to the earthly system which is built on a
socialized standard of justice. In the socialized system, fairness is
I will be starting a study of the Kingdom, starting with a harmony of the gospels and the teachings of John the baptist and of Christ.
The Kingdom they taught about is not the kingdom of the old testament or the kingdom so often preached by todays speakers. We will look closly at what Jesus had to say and what he did not say!
Inside this physical body there is a continuous war going on. There are so many spirits, good and bad, fighting to take control of us. When we hear the word “spiritâ€, without knowledge, we can easily be deceived. To be able to fight a battle, it is best to know as much as you can about your enemy. From time to time, I will write about the different spirits we have to deal with every day. Do you want God’s spirit in control or the devil’s?
The Spirit of Intercession is the Holy Spirit, His the Spirit of healing, the Spirit of Jesus, the Spirit of deliverance, the Spirit which proceedeth from the Father as john 15:26 declares.
Roman chapter 8 is all about the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God and romans 8 declares....
Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. (King James)
