Clarifying the Spirit’s Power – In Cessationism
These are days of huge opportunity. Vast harvest fields for the gospel lie before us. At the same time, there is growing hostility to a gospel message that calls on people to repent of their sins. So, will we ever see the power of God convince people that Jesus is the only answer? Is not this the gospel which is the power of God unto salvation? So what, if any, of the Spirit’s supernaturalism has ceased? – It’s a live issue.

Wonderful Issa’, Beyond CompareWhen we look at the vast numbers of humans, past and present, is there any way of deciding who is exceptional, who is special, even unique? There are likely to be a number of ways of forming such an opinion. Many love the world of entertainment and sport and become attached to their own celebrity and ‘star’.

“The Women of Mormondom:” A Tell-All About the Adam-God Doctrine Venerated by the Mormon ChurchThe Mormon Church is a distinctively curious religion that has kept itself in existence for the past 184 years by systematically, and pragmatically, revising and, when necessary, eviscerating its doctrines; to then purport to the world that the original doctrines never existed. The Mormons call this outlandish practice continuing revelation, but most reasonable people who have meticulously researched Mormon doctrinal and cultural history call this practice intentional fraud and outright material misrepresentation. Strangely, the Mormon hierarchy currently publishes doctrinal study material that purports, and causes its membership to believe, that Joseph Smith taught a theology that the Mormon father-god is an ordinary mortal man who became a god, with a capital G, by obediently working his way to death, resurrection, and Mormon exaltation, where later he became a god; and that all worthy Mormon men have the opportunity to become gods, with a capital G, equal to or greater than their own exalted-man father-gods. Yet, the Mormons teach that Brigham Young did not later develop Smith’s theology into the Adam-God Doctrine, and place the theology as sacred scripture into the Mormon temple. But the book, The Women of Mormondom” approved by Brigham Young, tells a totally different and truthful story.
Wrapped Up SecurelyThe attributes of God to guarantee his children the blessings He can only give should make each of us want to live in such a way that He is pleased with our every move. He showers us with His goodness, His love, mercy, guidance, all-sufficient grace, faithfulness, and His forgiveness to name a few, and He allows each of us to experience another day, and another opportunity to get things right with ourselves and others when we have been wrong and have wronged others.
