Joseph Herrin (03-25-2011) I mentioned in the last post that there is an intensification in my life of signs and events. I believe the Father is indicating that a great transition is at hand. Discerning that these things apply not only to myself, but to the body of Christ, I want to share what I...

Signs on the Earth – Day of the Ark
Joseph Herrin (03-22-2011) RV Park at which I Have Been Led to Camp In the autobiographical book Evidence of Things Unseen, I wrote of having my eyes opened years ago to perceive the presence of God all around me. One of the blessings I have received through the years as I have shared the messages...
An Active Season
Joseph Herrin (03-19-2011) Having finished the recent revision of the book “Laying Down the Law,” I have not been posting as often as I might wish. There have been a great many things keeping me busy. Let me begin with my bus/motorhome. As most of you know, upon completing four months on the road...
A Time to be Expectant
Joseph Herrin (03-17-2011) What is the next great event which must occur on Yahweh’s unfolding plan of redemption? It is that which the entire creation has been anxiously longing for ever since sin and death entered into the natural realm. Romans 8:19-23 For the earnest expectation of the creation...
Ring of Fire
Joseph Herrin (03-14-2011) The Ring of Fire describes a geographic area where 75% of the earth’s volcanoes, and 90% of the earths earthquakes occur. The earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand which occurred on February 22, 2011, and the massive 9.0 magnitude quake that occurred in Japan on March...
Rend Your Hearts and Not Your Garments!
Joel 2:12-14 "Yet even now," declares Yahweh, "Return to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, weeping and mourning; And rend your heart and not your garments." Now return to Yahweh your God, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness and relenting of...
Laying Down the Law – Closure
It is not possible in a single book to answer every question, or objection, raised by those who have adopted the belief that the Law continues in its authority over the lives of those who are Christians. If I included the proofs I have presented to the saints from every correspondence I have...
Laying Down the Law – Walk By the Spirit
Over the course of many years, as I have taught on this subject, one common concern I have heard expressed is that if Christians are not taught to keep the Law they will end up justifying unrighteous and selfish actions while saying the Spirit of Christ is the source of their direction. There is...
The Church Bells All Were Broken
Joseph Herrin (02-24-2011) I want to mention a singular phenomena that occurred when the earthquake struck Christchurch, New Zealand this week. In instance after instance, the bell towers collapsed on prominent churches, some of which were historic landmarks. St. John’s Anglican Church Bell...
Shaking Christ’s Church
Joseph Herrin (02-23-2011) Hebrews 12:26-27 "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven." Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Yesterday, February...
Laying Down the Law – Understanding Difficult Scriptures
Many saints who have adopted the view that the Law continues as the guardian and tutor to the saints today arrive at this view due to a misapprehension of various Scriptures. Although their conviction may be sincere, error will always result in undesirable consequences. If you have patiently...
Laying Down the Law – Toward a Perfect Man
Matthew 5:48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Colossians 1:28 [Christ] we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Yahshua. Hebrews 7:18-19 For on the one hand there is an annulling of...
Laying Down the Law – When God Changed the Menu
The question often arises as to whether Christians are to observe the shadows of the Old Covenant. Should Christians keep the feasts of Yahweh? Should they rest on the Sabbath day? Is it the Father’s will for those in Christ to eat only those foods the Law of Moses declared to be clean? In this...
Laying Down the Law – A New Creation
Galatians 6:15 For in Christ Yahshua neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation. In these words of the apostle Paul we come to the heart of what is truly important. Paul says that neither keeping the Law (circumcision), or not keeping the Law (uncircumcision),...
Laying Down the Law – The Road Less Traveled
There are two main paths, or doctrinal positions, embraced by the majority of Christians today. One path promotes keeping the Law of Moses, or a body of laws endorsed by their group. These laws are used as the chief instrument to guide believers in their daily lives and various decisions. The...
T. Austin Sparks – On the Law
Glen Pickren, a brother in Christ from California, sent me the following devotion from T. Austin Sparks. These words were written over 50 years ago. February 11 Once a person has learned to have faith, there is no more need to have the Law as a teacher. (Galatians 3:25 CEV) Sometimes revelation...
Laying Down the Law – The Law of Liberty
Have you ever considered why the Law delivered to Moses was written on tablets of stone? The stone tablets symbolized man’s heart. Yahweh provided a parable to show His people what would happen when His law is written on stony hearts. The immediate, and irresistible, result is that the Law is...
Laying Down the Law – A Law For Stony Hearts
In the preceding chapter we looked at the unique environment Yahweh provided for the Law of Moses, an environment that no longer exists. In this post I want to look at a parallel theme. The Law of Moses was written for a specific type of man. Those who have been born again of the Spirit of Christ...
Laying Down the Law – The Missing Pieces
One aspect of the Law of Moses that many Christians have failed to properly examine today is the unique setting in which the Law was intended to be carried out. The Law was given to a peculiar people, at a specific time, under a unique government, and carried out by a priesthood especially...
Laying Down the Law – Moses My Servant is Dead
Joshua 1:1-2 Now it came about after the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh, that Yahweh spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' servant, saying, "Moses My servant is dead; now therefore arise, cross this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of...
Laying Down the Law – My Servant Moses
I have found that by studying the parabolic nature of the lives of Old Testament figures, much insight can be gained concerning matters that are shrouded in a fog of confusion. In the previous chapter we looked at the life of Hagar. Who would have known that the two wives of Abraham were intended...
Bus Tour
Dear Brothers and Sisters, After my recent post titled Butterfly Dreams I had a request by a reader to see the interior of the bus. I am therefore going to share some recent pictures, and a video of the bus. Randy Simmons Visiting me Today (Click on any image to view larger.) Me at Work Looking...
Laying Down the Law – Hagar
In the preceding chapters I have set forth a panoramic view of Yahweh’s plan to bring forth mature spiritual sons and daughters. I have labored to show the place of the Law in God’s plan of the ages. Man was not created sinful, nor did Yahweh intend for man to remain perpetually enslaved to sin....
Butterfly Dreams
Joseph Herrin (01-30-2011) Bus Painted - Driver’s Side (Click on Photo for Larger Image) In the midst of writing blog posts and answering e-mail I have found opportunity recently to get most of the bus painted. My first step was painting the roof. I mixed ceramic additive into a gallon of white...
Laying Down the Law – From Children of Israel to Sons of God
The dealings of God with mankind is progressive. Even as the divine day begins in darkness and progresses to light, so too do we find that Yahweh’s revelation of Himself to man is with an ever increasing brightness. Yahweh has given us many things in the natural creation to provide insight into...
Laying Down the Law – Be Ye Perfect
If you did not read the previous post in this series, I encourage you to not permit the opportunity to pass you by. Go back and read it carefully, for there is contained in it such profound truth regarding the tragic consequences of seeking to be guided by Law, that all Christians are advised to...
Laying Down the Law – The Moral Law – A Shadow of Things to Come
Many have set forth the argument that the ceremonial Law, and the Law of offerings and sacrifices, have been set aside for those who are in Christ, but the moral Law still holds sway over the life of an individual. They teach that the moral Law still is to serve as the believer’s code of conduct...

Laying Down the Law – A New Spirit
I will continue to lay a foundation of understanding, before proceeding to address specific arguments that advocate the continuance of the Law. Rightly dividing the word of God will be much easier for those who first have gained an understanding of the role of the Law in Yahweh’s plan of the ages....
Laying Down the Law – The Father’s Plan
What is the Father’s ultimate thought in regard to mankind? We must answer this question if we are to perceive the Law’s role in the greater scheme of things. We can find the Father’s mind concerning man in the first chapter of the Bible. Genesis 1:26-28 Then God said, "Let Us make man in...
