Jer 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.  




God has prepared the life of each believer in relation with a congregation and local community of believers, where there should be at least one man of God that “pastors them”. To pastor is to spiritually take care of the believers.

This is the heart of God, and it is his promise (Jeremiah 3:15). But the problem with many churches is that they do not understand nor know what are the duties of a pastor (and at times neither does the pastor), so we need to search the Scriptures to understand God’s teaching on this matter, what are the duties and responsibilities of a pastor.

Deuteronomy 18:9 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. 10 There shall not be found among you anyone that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

Witchcraft is an abominable practice before God that has to do with “spirits” and spiritual forces as instruments for achieving what one wants. Using witchcraft and other similar practices, one ignores God as their resource for help in this life.

bs09 Clarity of Scripture

Clarity of Scripture

bs09 Clarity of Scripture I explain how God designed and guarantees that his Holy Scripture is clear for us to understand. This we can bank on.

The Clarity of the Scriptures (Perspicuity)

Deut 6:6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

The doctrine of the clarity of Scripture or by its other name “perspicuity”, affirms that Scripture’s message is actually clear to understand, and this is by divine design. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for not understanding the Scriptures, reaffirming the concept that Scripture is easy and obvious to understand. The problem of not understanding them is not in the nature of Scripture, but in the sin of man’s heart. Continue reading

It is not an impossible fight!

1Pet 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

With the increase of pornography and the constant lowering of standards, sexual temptation has become one of the principle problems for Christians. It is a spiritual fight so intense that almost every Christian has it. This fight is not impossible to win, but it is very difficult.

The Salinity of the Oceans – Every year rainfall carries dirt from the mountains to the seas. Once in the oceans, there is no way for the salt in this dirt to be removed. The Dead Sea is an example of what happens when the salt concentration grows. (The Dead Sea is small in comparison to the oceans.) According to the calculations of experts, the concentration of the salt in the oceans on the entire planet will be as much as the Dead Sea in a few million years.

Time is important – Evolutionists use very large amounts of time for the formation of the universe and living beings. According to them, only “a few billion years” ago, the universe, the earth, and life on earth was almost as it is today. They want to propose that the foundation events happened billions of years ago, or even further back, and every year they add more large amounts of time to their theories.

1 Jan 5:11 Bondye ban nou lavi ki p’ap janm fini an. epi lavi sa a se nan Pitit li a. 12 Moun ki gen Pitit la gen lavi; Moun ki pa gen Pitit Bondye a pa gen lavi.

Ki jan mwen ka ale nan syèl la? Gen yon sèl kritè yo dwe sove, “gen” Jezi Kris la. Sa vle di gen yon relasyon pèsonèl avè l, tankou nan angajman maryaj. Ou se li e li se pou ou. Sa a se pa envèrsyon. Se relasyon Kreyatè ak Sovè a ak yon kreyati ki fè peche.

Jan 17:3 Sa a se lavi ki p’ap janm fini an: pou yo ka konnen ou, sèl vrè Dye a…

Konnen Jezi se kwè li epi resevwa li

Jan 6:47 Moun ki mete konfyans yo nan mwen gen lavi ki p’ap janm fini an.

Yon relasyon ak Jezi se youn nan lafwa ak konfyans nan li. Si ou sou kwen nan yon falèz sou yon bò nan lanfè epi ou tonbe nan, ki moun oswa ki sa ou ta fè konfyans pou sove ou soti nan lanfè? Sa a se objè a nan konfyans ou. Si ou pa fè konfyans nan Jezikri sèlman, ou pa sove. Men, si ou pa rekonèt Jezi sèlman, men ou kwè kèk bon aksyon ou te fè oswa kèk moun apa de li, Lè sa a, ou pa sove.

Jan 1:12 Tout moun ki te resevwa l’ yo, li te bay dwa pou yo vin pitit Bondye. Ebre 9:22 Prèske tout bagay pirifye, dapre lalwa, ak san; epi san koule san koule, pa gen padon.

1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Hope is an inheritance that God gives to those who have faith in Jesus Christ. In other words, hope is the anticipation, or the emotion and joyfulness, in meditating on our salvation.

Hope is also a longing for salvation, that God will save us when we end our earthly lives. The end of hope and believing in Jesus Christ is to reach heaven, and dwell together with God and the redeemed for all eternity. The foundation of salvation is “In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began” Titus 1:2.
