The Divinity of Jesus Christ
by Kim Linton January 11, 2010 3 Comments
People who call themselves Christian are basically proclaiming they believe God exists. Not only do they believe God exists, they also believe the Bible accurately reveals who God is. Unfortunately, some people who claim to be a Christian don’t understand the significance of their proclamation, and as a result are easy targets for individuals and groups who misrepresent Christianity and the divinity of Jesus.

by Gary Linton November 10, 2009 3 Comments
In the last two messages, we discussed “Two False and Opposing Views” to God’s existence and “The Existence of God: Assumed in Scripture.” In the third part of this series we will deal with arguments for His existence. Read more →
The Existence of God: Assumed in Scripture
by Gary Linton November 5, 2009 2 Comments
The Bible assumes the existence of God, without attempting to prove it. In the book of beginnings, Genesis, we read, “In the beginning God” (Genesis 1:1). God’s existence is assumed. The Bible is God’s letter to His creation (you and me) revealing truth and Himself to us. He desires to have a personal relationship with us. As in the beginning, He invites us to come to Him, walk with and fellowship with Him, as Adam and Eve did in the beginning. He wants a relationship with us. Read more →
The Existence of God: Two False and Opposing Views
by Gary Linton November 3, 2009 No Comments
There has been, throughout history, a belief in God in our country. We even have “In God We Trust” on our money. There is, in recent years, a growing opposition to God or anything having to do with Him. There are two major opposing views to God: Read more →

I received an E-MAIL through my website, from a dear sister in the Lord. She was wrestling with the question of tithing on her gross income, which she didn’t feel she could afford. Read more →
Trinity – Illustrations and Examples
by Gary Linton October 10, 2009 No Comments
We have seen in our earlier two studies on the Trinity that God is one and that there are three persons within the one God. These three are separate and distinct persons yet each are called God. It is impossible to totally grasp this with the finite mind. We are finite creatures attempting to comprehend the infinite. We can, however, understand the concept, and that this is the clear teaching of the Word of God. I will proceed to set forth some scriptural and non scriptural illustrations and examples of the Trinity. Read more →
Do you have room for Jesus this Christmas?
by Gary Linton October 9, 2009 1 Comment
I was contemplating Christmas and of course the Christmas story came to mind. The verse “There was no room for them in the Inn” (Luke 2:7) particularly struck me. This was the creator of the universe (John 1:3; Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:2) and there was no place found for Him but in a barn. Will He find a place in your life this Christmas season? Read more →
Trinity – One God, Three Persons
by Gary Linton October 1, 2009 2 Comments
As we saw in the previous message, there is only one God. This is clear throughout scripture. However, there are three persons eternally existent in the one God. Paul Little said it this way, “God is one in His essential being, but that divine essence exist in three modes or forms, each consisting a person, yet in such a way that the divine is wholly in each person.” Read more →
Trinity – The Unity and Oneness of God
by Gary Linton September 29, 2009 1 Comment
The term trinity is not mentioned in the bible. It was first used in the second century to describe the Godhead, which is a biblical term (Colossians 2:9 and Romans 1:20). So “trinity” is merely another word to describe the Godhead. Read more →
Sex and the Christian Church
by Kim Linton September 28, 2009 1 Comment
Sex is a topic that is seldom discussed in the Christian community. For years my husband and I have been teaching Christian couples how important it is to have a satisfying sex life, and apparently, the message has finally caught on. Read more →
Authority of the Believer – Implementing Authority
by Gary Linton September 16, 2009 2 Comments
In our previous message, “The Authority of the Believer,” we discussed the authority that has been allotted us in and through Christ and some areas we should have authority over. I want to proceed to share how we can implement, in life, the authority that has been given us in Christ. Read more →
Authority of the Believer – Ephesians 1:19-23 & 2:6
by Gary Linton September 12, 2009 1 Comment
Notice what it says in these verses, “What is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us that believe” (1:19); “Far above all principality, and power, and might and dominion, and every name that is named” (1:21); “And hath put all things under His feet” (1:22). He gave all that authority to His body, the church (1:22-23. We are seated in heavenly places with Him (2:6), where he is head over all things (1:22-23). Read more →
Effective Praying
by Gary Linton September 9, 2009 2 Comments
How would you like to have an effective prayer life? The Bible says, “Elijah was a man subject to like passions (weaknesses and failure) as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit” (James 5:17-18 KJV). Read more →
Words That Kill: How to Tame the Tongue

My husband and I have a brief bible study together every morning before we start our day. Our last study was taken from James chapter three which discusses how dangerous our words can be. I’ve read these passages many times before, but this time they came alive to me in a new way. Read more →
Is It Possible to Fall Short of the Grace of God?
by Gary Linton September 6, 2009 1 Comment
What does it mean to have the grace of God upon your life? Grace means unmerited or undeserved favor. In other words, there is nothing we can do to earn God’s favor because it is freely given by Him. So, if we can’t do anything to earn God’s grace, is it possible to lose or fall short of it? Read more →
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ
by Kim Linton September 6, 2009 No Comments
The resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. Without the resurrection, faith in Christ would be meaningless. The resurrection was foretold hundreds of years before Jesus’ birth. Read more →

How To Prepare Yourself and Your Church For a Move of God
by Kim Linton September 6, 2009 1 Comment
This is the basic outline from one of my husband’s sermons with my two-cents worth thrown in. I encourage you to read all of Acts chapter 2 so you have a better understanding of what was going on with the disciples during that time. Always make sure the Word being taught is the real deal, regardless of the source. Anyone can twist a passage from the Bible to make it say what ever they want it to say. Read more →
