The Sons are FREEA dream rememberedAs is common with catching a large fish, I hit it over the head with a club to kill it and prevent it from flopping around and hurting someone.

The Sons are FREEThe Bride of Christ Victim or VictorIn scripture we have the picture of a confident, strong, beautiful, holy and radiant bride.

The Sons are FREEWalking in the lightOften, those who come out of man’s institutional church look for like-minded believers to fellowship with. Citing scripture as the example for how church meetings should be conducted, many look for a house church since that’s the way the Church met originally. But that’s the same error the institutional church makes, meeting in and around a building for an hour or two a week. Transcript available at RSS.com.2024-12-3011 min
The Sons are FREEAll Good GiftsThe Heavenly Father, who “disciplines those He loves” (Proverbs 3:12), allowed me to experience Job-like devastation, that I might seek HIM in the midst of ruin, and know Him more than simply a giver.

The Sons are FREECleaving in marriage - Standing up to the separatorsLeaving and cleaving is a lot more complicated than it used to be. It’s sobering to consider life at the turn of the 20th century; when adult children married and moved to where their careers took them and their only communication with relatives was a hand-written letter.2024-12-0911 min

The Sons are FREEI pledge my head to Christ JesusScripture is clear that a man is to have just one covering, Christ Jesus.

The Sons are FREERepentanceWhen I was new in the faith, I had a childish view of repentance. My approach to sin was “lenten” like, wherein I would “give it up for God” who hates sin.

The Sons are FREETo Worship in Spirit and in TruthIn the same way Jesus’ marked the transition from external to internal cleansing, so does He also mark the transition from location-based worship to worship that happens any and everywhere.

The Sons are FREEObey the Spirit's TeachingThe Holy Spirit went to great lengths to teach me truth and to share that truth with others through my blog.

The Sons are FREEWhat is another Gospel?There is NO “and” in the Gospel of Jesus, unless of course it is Jesus AND ONLY Jesus!

The Sons are FREELord, Teach us to PrayAs I prayed for a man with an obvious physical issue, the Holy Spirit impressed me that I was relying on human sight to pray and prompted me to consider how my praying might change if I could see a person’s spiritual needs and pray for those instead.2024-05-2007 min
The Sons are FREEStill in LoveWhen we’d returned home, the Spirit brought Psalm 23 to mind: “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.” Indeed, the Lord prepared a table for us, in the presence of our enemy: fear; specifically the fear of rain.
