Played: (slang) – manipulated, exploited. Christians should be the most discerning people in this world. After all, they have the indwelling Spirit of Christ who is readily available to disclose to them truth and error. Those who have been born again of the Holy Spirit have been translated...

Note: Following is an older post that I believe has some text that would be valuable to many believers in Yahshua. As you read it I pray that you might be helped to have compassion for the many men and women you see on the street each day. If you would like to be a minister to them, but don’t know...

I Peter 2:21-23For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, Who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth; and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no...

I had eye surgery yesterday so I will not be able to post today. I appreciate your understanding. Thanks.

Revelation 12:15And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood. The book of Revelation conveys truth through symbolism. The serpent is symbolic of Satan. He is also called the dragon, which is a type of winged...

People of God, I came across a video that was called "Ten Questions Christians Can't Answer." I watched it and was able to answer every question. I wonder though, if the readers of this blog could do the same, or are you often left to the whims and false controversies of the world around you? It...

Jonathan Lindvall Matthew & Maranatha Chapman were married in 1988. They consciously purposed to offer their lives and wedding as a demonstration of their understanding of the relationship of the Lord Jesus and His bride. For them, being made ready themselves for the Lord as members of His...

This article is written for those precious saints of God who have been in trials and fiery furnaces and wilderness places for some time now. I have noted a peculiar thing about some of these people, as I have noted it in my own experience. God has placed many in trials that have drawn a lot of...

Many of God’s people, and more than a few who read this blog, are in a season of waiting upon the word of God to be fulfilled in their lives. The promises of God have tarried far longer than anticipated. In many instances situations are becoming dire, and the promises of God appear ready to fall...

JP Morgan (Photographed by Edward Steichen in 1903. A trick of light was used to make the chair’s armrest appear as a dagger.) A man always has two reasons for what he does -- a good one, and the real one. JP Morgan I have been making a regular petition to the Father recently that He might reveal...

I know the title of this writing will upset many, but the illusion of America being a Christian nation needs to be cast down in this hour that a righteous remnant might come forth in devotion to Christ who purchased them from OUT OF every tribe and tongue and nation. There are at present...

Joseph Herrin As you read through the books and articles on this website you will notice that thenames Yahweh and Yahshua are used to refer to the members of the Godheadknown as the Father and the Son. Some explanation is needed so that those whoare not familiar with these names will have...

Ecumenicism - Another Jesus, Another Gospel II Corinthians 11:3-4But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached,...

No Perfect Bible Translation After sending out the first part of this teaching series, a sister in Christ wrote to me to ask me to provide further information on Bible translations. Some have wanted to know specifically what errors are present in various translations, and some have requested that...

The Distinctiveness of Christ II Corinthians 13:5Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Yahshua Christ is in you - unless indeed you fail the test? I would like to give you a test of spiritual discernment. Recently I...

Jesus Christ, Yahshua the Messiah - The ONLY Way to God John 14:6Yahshua said to him, "I am THE way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” John 10:7-9So Yahshua said to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am THE door of the sheep. All who came before Me...

Despising DoctrineJoseph Herrin II Thessalonians 2:13Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Yahshua Christ and our gathering together to Him…, let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first… Apostasy: to divorce from truth The...

Joseph Herrin Since 1999 I have had no debt. Not a penny. My lifestyle in recent years has been much more environmentally friendly than earlier days. When you have less money to spend you certainly tend to be less wasteful. I know that there are lean days coming for multitudes of people who have...

Joseph Herrin Following are a couple of testimonies that speak of God’s faithfulness in providing a place to live. God at times will try His children that their faith might be perfected, and that we might also come to truly appreciate the things we have. How many Christians lay down each night in...

Joseph Herrin Following are some testimonies of an ever present and powerful God. Hallelujah. Psalms 46:1God is our Refuge and Strength [mighty and impenetrable to temptation], a very present and well-proved help in trouble.[Amplified Bible] Two Testimonies of Healing - Yahweh Rophe As I read of...

Joseph Herrin Psalms 103:7He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel. Christians generally fall into the two categories listed in the verse above. There are those who observe the acts of God, but have little understanding of what God is doing in their lives. Then there is a...

Joseph Herrin (01-04-09) Genesis 3:10And he said, I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. One of the greatest themes in the Bible is mankind’s struggle against fear. The first mention of fear in Scripture comes in the third chapter of Genesis,...

Joseph Herrin God has purposed that all things should be established by two or more witnesses and the two most pronounced witnesses He has given to the church are the Spirit and the Word. Unfortunately, much of the church has polarized around one or the other of these witnesses and they end up...

Note : You may have noticed that my blog posts were off the last two weeks. I would post a blog on Monday (typically) and it would print on the home page, but would not mail out. The problem was that the site was using too much memory. I asked George to take a look at it and he ran a clean up on...

Joseph Herrin (04-29-09) The Harlot and the Beast System Revelation 17:3-5, 16-17And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names… And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious...

Joseph Herrin (05-05-09) I have been blessed to see many sights along the path of this cross country trek the Lord has sent me forth upon. While I was in Wyoming I began to hear of a historic site that drew my attention, and I hoped I would get to see it. Independence Rock was so named by William...

February 10, 2009 In a recent radio interview that I provided a link unto, one of the men speaking suggested that Christians do what they can to prepare, but he added that the Lord had shown him that whatever Christians do, it will be woefully inadequate. I doubt there is one family out of a...

Guided by What? Much of the error in understanding faith today comes from the church having departed from a Spirit-led life. Today the church knows very little of being led of the Spirit in all things. The church is predominantly led by their own souls, though they will at times search the...

Joseph Herrin (10-31-09) Hebrews 12:2-3Looking unto Yahshua, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners...
