The Meat

The meat of the word? Not heavy revelation,esoteric knowledge,a mystical meaning, but doing the will of the Father

John 4:32

Without The Camp  Leaving the cosy man-made structures behind to follow Jesus in the wilderness where total dependence is on Him.  A direct, two way relationship, without the obstruction of clerical redtape or religious fraternities.

Know Ye Not - "Ye Are The Church!"  Being in Christ makes you His Body without further requirement!  The System, along with its "spiritual professionals", would inform you otherwise ...  "heeding and yielding to their teaching grants you the assurance of salvation (or at least, not going off the rails)"!  Contrary to the Book ...  "to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours"!

The (infallible) Book  The Lord has promised and given His children a book.  A perfect book.  Meaning ...  the book we can hold in our hands and quote from is totally reliable.  With complete assurance that every word is pure, divinely inspired, and preserved, without error.  Moreover, where we can get God's mind on things.  Plus sure direction from Him.  While found absent from the hotchpotch of ... "but!?", "however!?", "whattabout!?" ...  Minus the complicated Schools of Human Thought.

Simply Christians  Here is a another practical thesis (author unknown) that is all too simplistic and basic for those who would trust in their own intellect or education for revelation.  In fact, as it sounds soo goood to be true, it would too hard to believe or swallow from the diehard religionist or skeptic.  Unless you believe God has given His called-out people an infallible book to trust and place their life on.  Furthermore, by seeing that institutionalizing His church is not only illegitimate, but absolutely futile in the first place.  It's true, the old garment should not be patched up, but needs dumping and replaced with the new.  Meaning ... brands, tags, labels or slogans, have no place in the kingdom of God.

The (Mystery of the) Two Wines  In this mystery (the new replacing the old) lies revelation hidden from the 'overly clever', and reserved for the hungry humble 'nobody', of whether we are serving God through an alternative (mans preference), or the bona fide (God's mandate).  Knocking over a few sacred cows on the way.

The (Mystery of the) Two Trees  There is a difference between what is good and evil and what is good and perfect.  One is earthly, while the other is heavenly.  The promise made ...  by partaking of the latter one finds they have God's favour and can live foreverIn a nut-shell ...  rounding off the controversy of heaven and hell once and for all.

The Fallacy  Is following Jesus found at the table of partaking in abstract emblems, or eating at the table of real life experience, minus artificial settings?

Obedience, Freewill, and the Sovereignty of God   What comes first - the chicken or the egg?  As Bible believers believing in the Creator as well as in His Book, we know (without a shadow of a doubt) the chicken comes first.  However, an egg still needs nurturing and responsibility exercised in order for it to come forth and produce.  While God does His part the called-out are called to do theirs ... in the Spirit of course!  Meaning, choice is real (and scriptural) after all.

The Conspiracy Against the Name of Jesus  Who is our root, our rock, and our firm foundation?  Is it a nation called Israel, or is it a Jew called Jesus of Nazareth?  Be informed ... there is a real agenda out there to confuse or undermine the name of Jesus with a whole host of Hebraic, generic, scrambled names.  In the name of Jesus let all replacement names and subtle forms of bringing the saints back under the Old Covenant, be exposed!

The Parent  God our Maker and Father being smoke-screened so the devil can hide behind his own image being set up, deceiving the masses to worship the image instead of the Creator.  The only hope of not being swept away by this New Age tsunami, is by being anchored to what is sure and steadfast ...  the stand-alone scriptures.

The Three Ho's  Selling what is highly esteemed of man, or choosing the narrow way of scorn and derision.  Is God pleased with memorials and decorations erected to His Son?  Or does the kingdom of God come without signs to be observed?  Revealing of course ... only spiritual things are spiritually discerned!  That's by those who are spiritually reborn and place no confidence in mans religious alternative.

The Mixture  Iron cannot mix with clay, old cloth cannot be patched up with new cloth, nor can old wine does go with new skins!  Meaning ...  religiosity and reality are poles apart!  Moreover, here you can discover the link between sun worship, holy days, the New Millennium, and paganizing the true faith.  Along with the urgency, the necessity, and the cost, of eradicating the mixture within.

What's Wrong with "Contemporary" Christianity?  Some get the church confused with the kingdom.  Others use their church to exploit and sell their version of the truth, by inventing a counterfeit of God's authentic gospel.  It all comes back to the root of all evil being the love of money.  Outside of reality, take away the product and you are left only with wind.  The reason ... the kingdom of God is not of this world and neither are those who are (spiritually) born into it.

Baal Worship In Disguise  Iz Easter and other "Christianized" trappings and observances bona fide forms of worship?  Or at itz best ... iz it commercialized religious wrappings?  Or at itz worst ... iz all this hotchpotch disguised pagan practices?

The Gatecrashers   If it's true that Jesus said He would build His church and the gates of hell would not stand against it, then why would His servants fight?.  Meaning, the Christian life has got nothing to do with believers storming heaven or physically defeating the heathen in military combat.  Nor getting mixed up in politics.  Therefore, see for yourself what Paul meant we he said, "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds."

Giants, Angels, and the Sons of God  Aliens, monsters, demons, ghosts, and the paranormal!  From demigod gladiators, warrior goddesses, to mystical creatures of all that is grotesque, vile, and a caricature of Creation!  That's the preoccupation of the fallen world at present.  However, this is in total and direct contrast to God's admonishment to His people (Phil. 4:8)...  to think on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, and where there is virtue and praise!  While casting down imaginations, fables, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God.
