Jim Osman in his book, God Doesn’t Whisper, wrote a facsimile of how God speaks today by applying the evangelical method to familiar Biblical characters. Of course, it is for illustration purposes, only. God has not communicated to the human race in the same way in every era. The exercise is meant to show its…
There is so much error being taught that it is no wonder we are hearing an enormous amount of deception and lies. We are being told that God is constantly speaking to us and we need to learn to hear His voice. Before this introduction of error, others had been telling us that we can…
Charles Stanley writes, “I believe one of the most valuable lessons we can learn is how to listen to God…And the Bible is explicit, God speaks to us just as powerfully today as in the days in which the Bible was written.” This is very confusing, seeing that if it is so explicit, why do…
Townships had a sheepfold where the sheep would lodge for the night. Similarly, towns in the old west had livery stables where the horses would stay the night. Both were communal holdings for the stock of all the travelers. The sheepfold had one door and a hireling would guard all the flocks through the night. …
John 10:4 reads, “When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.” Verse twenty-seven reads, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” Rather than accepting that God communicates to us through Scripture and we communicate to…
I have been reading a book by Osman entitled, “God Doesn’t Whisper”. Then, tonight, I had a conference with some dear friends in Christ and read Psalm 105. In verses 16-24, which is the context of God’s care for Israel who declared Him before the Nations, we are given the example of Joseph. His being…
Research has shown that most people, especially those professed lie catchers, are fooled by lies more than not. The reason is that we want to believe the liar. We are not looking to find out that our spouse is unfaithful, that our children are using hard drugs, or the person you recommended is a cheat. …
We have concluded that we engage in some tricky rationalization that allows some deception without feeling bad about ourselves. We want to explore the degree of those limits and what impacts the extent and amount of lies that people tell others. For example, if the likelihood of being caught is low, we tend to stretch…
I have often thought that if we knew why a person acted a certain way, it would help us in finding solutions and aid to help us repent or improving interpersonal relationships. Lying is an example of this, and because it so prevalent, we could learn how to deal with it better if we understood…
Hebrews 1:1-2 reads,””God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds…”(KJV). The writer contrasts “the time past with these…
