RIGHTEOUS, WHO ME?
YES YOU! As a Christian you are now righteous in Christ! It’s a grace thing. In 1983 on a mission trip in Mexico I preached a series on “Our Righteousness in Christ.” At the end I challenged the people to take turns standing and declaring “I […]

“The Holy Bible is God’s love letter to the world. It points to the source of life—Jesus Christ, who is the Living Word. “Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And you will not come to me, that you might have life” […]

“I Want To Be . . . ME” is the introduction to my lesson “Who Am I?” about our identity in Christ. I shared this teaching at my “This Is Living” conferences for youth and college students back in the 70’s. It is a description of my personal testimony to find myself. We all struggle […]

Comments Off on EASTER: Life Out of Death
Dr. Lewis Gregory He . . . is . . . risen! Yes, Jesus Christ is risen indeed! Only Christ is both the resurrection and the life. However, life—God’s Life—can only come out of death. So without the crucifixion there could have been no resurrection: no death, no life. One died for all in order […]

18. March 2015
“We walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7 FAITH WALKERS WALK BY FAITH. The Apostle Paul boldly declared, “I can do all things,” and then he added, “through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13). Christ alone was the source of Paul’s strength!

Pleasing God . . . IT’S A PLEASURE Dr. Lewis Gregory One of the unique features of the parent-child relationship is that children have a natural desire to please their parents. In the same way, we as children of God desire to please our Heavenly Father. It’s our pleasure! But, how do we do this? […]

DISCERNING the SIGNS Jesus said, “Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?” Matthew 16:3 It may sound good. It may look good. And it may even feel good. But is it God? According to 1 Corinthians 2:14, THE THINGS OF GOD ARE SPIRITUALLY […]

JESUS CHRIST: KING of kings and LORD of lords! Someone once said, “Mention one way in which you and Jesus are different. I bet you can’t!” This type of thinking is becoming quite prevalent among those who are talking about God, Jesus, oneness, union, grace etc. I praise God for the renewed interest in God […]

MEDITATION: SITTING BEFORE THE LORD Yes, listening! Listening is essential if you want to know God and walk in His ways. I like to do what King David did. He would just sit before the Lord. I have found it helpful to sit before the Lord without any plan, agenda or preconceived ideas and let […]
