RETURN TO ZION
- Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it.
- Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things, hold fast what is good. Abstain from every evil.
- Let patience and love have its perfect work completed in you.
Our Citizenship is in Heaven
“Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern. For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and…
An Epistle to the Universal Church
Kevin James, a bondservant of the Most-High God our Father and the King of kings and Lord of lords who sits at His right hand as The Lamb of God without blemish or spot. In the name of the Lord, I bring to His children the message of the covenant, the Love of the Truth,…
Parable of a Bread Thief
A multitude of people thronged the streets. The officers were on the way to court with one, a man accused of stealing bread. And in a little while the man was brought before the judge to answer to the charge. And Jesus and the twelve were there. The man showed in his face and hands…
Hebrews 11:(1-3)
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” Hebrews 11:(1-3)
Being Temperate With Others
“You, therefore, who have been placed in eminence by God, ought with all your power to check and repel those who prepare snares for brethren, or raise seditions and offenses against them. For it is easy by word to deceive man, not however God. Therefore you ought to keep these off, and be on your…
Thoughts About Unilateral Forgiveness
When our brother John wrote of the commission of the apostles I believe that he did so with specific intent and purpose. Like so many of the verses which he wrote, this one stands apart from what was written in the other gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It seems overall that his intent may…

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world.”
Jesus Christ, John 16:33
The Fruit Of The Spirit
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV)
Love
Love – agape – is patient and kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth.
Joy
Having joy includes feeling good cheer and a vibrant happiness. But joy, in its fuller, spiritual meaning of expressing God’s goodness, involves more. It is a deep-rooted, inspired happiness. The Holy Bible says, “The joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Peace
The Hebrew word for peace, šālôm, translated most often by the Greek word, eirēnē, has a wide range including the notions of totality or completeness, success, fulfillment, wholeness, harmony, security and well-being.
Longsuffering
Patiently enduring lasting offense or hardship. Putting up with (enduring) others who wrongfully act against you — is the Christ-like character a believer is to develop and grow.
Gentleness
Gentleness is the quality of being kind and careful. Your gentleness with a frightened stray dog will eventually convince her to let you feed and pet her. The noun gentleness is perfect for describing the way someone acts when they are soft and calm and sweet to other people.
Goodness
Goodness is action; it’s not something we do only for the sake of being virtuous. In Greek, the word goodness, “agathosune,” means “an uprightness of heart and life”. When we act out of true goodness of the heart, we are obedient to God’s commandments and seek the benefit of others.
Faith
Faith is the basic ingredient to begin a relationship with God. Faith is the assurance that the things revealed and promised in the Word are true, even though unseen, and gives the believer a conviction that what he expects in faith, will come to pass.
Meekness
The meek shall inherit the Earth. The saying implies that those who forgo worldly power will be rewarded in the kingdom of heaven. Meekness is an attribute of human nature and behavior. It has been defined several ways: righteous, humble, teachable, and patient under suffering, long suffering willing to follow gospel teachings; an attribute of a true disciple.
Temperance
Temperance can be viewed as emotional restraint or self-control. Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but one who has a hasty temper exalts. Temperance is moderation in thought, word, or action. Those who practice temperance are self-controlled and show restraint in their passions and behaviors.
