Truth vs. Error
2 Tim.3:16 “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right”
Over the next few days, we will be learning how to go forward from the story in Ezra 3 [please read]. A couple of things led to this and we will learn a few lessons from history. After David died, Solomon became king but he did a lot of not so good things. But God was faithful and Israel broke up into two kingdoms after the death of Solomon – the northern and the southern kingdoms. Jerusalem was in the southern kingdom. The northern kingdom was given to idol worship and the Assyrians captured it. Prophets Micah and Isaiah Read the rest of this entry
The Tree
“And I, the Son of Man, have come to seek and save those like him who are lost.”’ Lu.19:10

Sheep Or Goat?
“Dear children, don’t let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right, it shows that they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous. But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning…” 1Jn.3:7-8 [emphasis added].
God knew that there would be a lot of deception about this subject, which is why the Bible says, don’t let anyone deceive you about this… But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil. The key there is, keep on sinning. Do Christians sin? Of course they do; but they should not keep on sinning otherwise, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. Every work of the devil in Read the rest of this entry
