QUESTION: How is the fruit of the Spirit produced in our lives today (Galatians 5:22-25)?
ANSWER: In Ephesians 5:9, we read, “For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth.” This verse is telling us what the result will be if we “walk as children of light,” as commanded in the preceding verse eight! These two verses combined, then, teach that the Holy Spirit produces fruit (as described in Galatians 5:22-23) through the lives of those who walk as children of light (faithful Christians) according to the truth (the gospel).

QUESTION: How does the Holy Spirit convict men of sin as John 16:8-13 says?
ANSWER: Romans 3:20 tells us that “by the law is the knowledge of sin.” Therefore, we are convicted of sin by the Holy Spirit when we come to a knowledge of His Word!

Rules from for 2008 1. Wake Up !! Decide to have a good day. "Today is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" Psalms 118:24 2. Dress Up !! The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the heart." I Samuel 16:7 3. Shut Up!! Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. "He who guards his lips guards his soul." Proverbs 13:3 4. Stand Up!!... For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything.. "Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good..." Galatians 6:9-10 5. Look Up !!... To the Lord. "I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13 6 Reach Up !!... For something higher. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, And He will direct your path." Proverbs 3:5-6 7. Lift Up !!... Your Prayers. "Do not worry about anything; Instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING." Philippians 4:6

QUESTION: What does Ephesians 5:18 mean? How can one be filled with the Spirit?
ANSWER: In Ephesians 5:18-19 and Colossians 3:16, which are parallel passages (with each passage explaining the other), Paul is discussing music in the church. In the Ephesian letter, as he begins, he commands, “but be filled with the Spirit.” In the parallel passage of the Colossian letter, as he begins, he commands, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.” He is saying the same thing! Conclusion: We are filled with the Spirit as we let the word of Christ dwell in us richly!

Good Morning, Did you know that we have made it another week. Yes today is the Lord's day. What are we going to do with it? Should we go to Church and worship God like the Bible tells us or should we serve satan and do what we want to do? Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. Have a wonderful day, just remember we owe God, not that God owes us anything.

I hope and pray that this blog has been helpful to some one to come to a better understanding of God's Word. The material I am useing is some of the best because it is from the Bible and is not from man. When we let God's Word lead us and not what we want it to be, we can come to a better understanding of what we are to do and how to act. My prayer is that the material will bring you to be nearer to God. In Christian Love

QUESTION: Some say that the one hundred and twenty disciples (Acts 1:15) were baptized in the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. Is this true?
ANSWER: No! It is not true. Notice in the latter part of the first chapter of Acts that the discussion involves the apostles, specifically about a replacement for Judas Iscariot. In verse twenty-six we read, “and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.” In chapter two, verse one, Luke says, “and when the day of Pentecost was fully come “they” were all in one accord in one place; “they” were sitting in the house (vs.2) and cloven tongues like as of fire sat upon each of “them.” Who are the “they” and the “them” in these verses? These words refer directly to the eleven plus Matthias in the last verse of Chapter one! Can we be sure? Yes! In chapter 1:2-8, to whom was the promiseof baptism in the Holy Ghost made? Was it to the hundred and twenty? No!
Clearly, in these verses, commandment (vs.2, 5) and promise (vs.4, 5, 8) was made to the apostles only! The same is true in John 14:16-17,26; John 15:26; and John 16:7,13. In each instance, the Holy Ghost in baptismal measure was promised only to the apostles! Note also, in verse fourteen, that after the baptism of the Holy Ghost (chapter 2:1-4), Peter stood up with the eleven (not the hundred and twenty) and preached. Those who put the hundred and twenty disciples into the commandment, promise, baptism of the Holy Ghost, and preaching in these chapters, do so without scriptural basis. They have wrested God’s Word to support their own doctrines!
