Miracles and healing are not dead today, nor are they reserved for the ultra-pious. God’s people can and do see them happen all the time. Would you like to see them happen in your life?

“Righteousness” basically means “rightness.” The earliest English versions of the Bible used the word, “rightwiseness.” When Romans speaks of one’s righteousness, or rightness, it refers to one’s rightness before God. It is the condition of being before God as one ought to be. This is not a side note when it comes to right believing. What constitutes being right before God, and why, is as fundamental as it gets.

The key to maintaining the unity of the spirit is not to endeavor to become more like one another. It is to continually recognize that our differences are relatively insignificant compared to what we share.

Tithing (paying one tenth) is based on the Old Testament law which we are no longer under. But what about today in this administration of grace in which we live?

Believers can certainly give one tenth of their incomes if they want to and even correctly call it their tithes since “a tenth part” is all the word “tithe” means, but there is no commandment in effect today to do so. Giving is encouraged in the New Testament, but there is no statement as to how much.

If 1 John 1:9 cannot be directed to born-again believers regarding restoring their severed relationships with the Father, then what is it about? Determining to whom this section is addressed is a significant stepping-stone toward answering this question.

Are there two “natures” alive and well in each child of God, an old sin “nature” and a new Godly “nature”, each actively pulling the believer one direction or the other? E. W. Bullinger (1837-1913) thought so, though the other great “E. W.,” E. W. Kenyon (1867-1948) disagreed. (See pages 153 and following of The Father and His Family.)
