THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD
By: Dr. Mike Jones This chapter focuses on three additional aspects of the Godhead. Does God have a body? Father, Son and Holy Spirit? And, why we baptize in Jesus name? When discussing whether God has a body, it's important to mention that most world religions view Jesus as a prophet, a good man (leader), etc. The most they would say is, "Jesus is the Son of God, but not God. He came in the authority of God. He was sent by
THE HOLINESS OF GOD!
By: Dr. Mike Jones As one Christian writer discovered, and he's right, the Bible speaks of the love of God, the power of God, the majesty of God, how worthy God is to be praised, but the supreme message of the Holy scripture is THE HOLINESS OF GOD! The Christian writer went on to say, the cross of Jesus Christ is the ultimate expression of a God so holy that only His Son could be the sufficient sacrifice for the sin of
CHARACTERISTICS OF A PERSON WHO IS A FRIEND OF GOD
By: Dr. Mike Jones We love to sing the song by Israel Houghton, "I am a Friend of God": We clap to it; we bounce up and down and even barb our heads as we sing the lyrics. It's a catchy song with meaning. But today, we want to uncover the true meaning of the phrase "a friend of God," as outlined in Holy Scripture. Saints, do you know that Abraham was the ONLY ONE in scripture that was called 'A Friend
WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH
By: Mike Jones It has been said, "Worship in Spirit is worship motivated by the life of God in the church community and His Spirit will manifest itself through visible actions by ALL that will participate." To go a step further, worship in "Spirit and in truth" simply means worship motivated by the life of Christ; and this worship is expressive because of the covenant God established with His Son and we've been given privy to it as children of the
7 BIBLICAL TRUTHS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR ENEMY
By: Dr. Mike Jones Permit me to start this teaching by saying there's a big difference between Christianity and other religions. Christianity stands alone because of the way she treats her enemies. The thing in the Christian Church we have the guard against is when Christians get angry, lash out at another person, and call it righteous indignation, causing hurt or harm to the person that mistreated them. We're prompted in God's Word (Romans 12:1-2), "I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies
QUALITIES OF A CHRISTIAN COUNSELOR
By: Mike Jones As you view this list of qualities of a Christian counselor, keep in mind that this is not a measuring stick of qualifications because, as stated in earlier chapters, no one is perfect except Christ, Himself. Christian counseling is a privilege, and the list below should be used in preparation and as an objective moving forward to help bring deliverance to the counselee. Born again - "Jesus answered and said unto him, verily, verily, I say unto thee, except
SEVEN THINGS THE LORD HATES
By: Dr. Mike Jones (Proverbs 6:16-19) There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to Him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours our lies and a man who sirs up dissension among brothers. As many sinful acts that there are, Solomon (the writer of Proverbs) could have given us many other sins the Lord hates,
SATAN DESIRES TO SIFT YOU LIKE WHEAT
By: Dr. Mike Jones One of our great Bible teachers of the 21st Century stated, "When you are deeply hurt, no person on earth can shut down your inner fears and deepest agonies. Not even the best of friends can understand the battle you are going through or the wounds inflicted on you." Saints, the thing to remember about this Christian walk is that God didn't promise you a painless way of life but He did promise you a way of escape.
