Drawing on faith in Christ, I discuss the challenges of life along with the victory and true freedom available in belief in Jesus alone. Born again in 1987, I have traveled a road that has taken many paths and has at times been very traumatic. Raised in a dysfunctional family, sexually abused at a young age, separated from parents at times, along with the devastation that comes from decades in a fellowship which became a religious cult, it felt like the fear, guilt and shame was irreversible ...

Jesus said you shall know them by their fruit. What is that fruit? We must know! What is the opposite of the fruit of the Spirit? Mark Chapter Seven agrees with Galatians Five what is not, and it is what defiles a man, or woman! He says of the religious leaders that they are hypocrites, and the Greek work means, literally, a pretender, like an acto…

When you read the Bible, with an open heart and mind, you will find that the thread through the Scriptures is red, and is a rescue story. The God who created us, loves us, and though we were far from Him, didn't care about Him, didn't seek Him - And certainly didn't ask Him to come rescue us, HE DID! He didn't just come spring us from the death pen…

Being overtaken by desire and not taking every thought, desire, passion, captive will bring very tragic results that can be life changing! King Herod became entrapped by his own passion and by his own pride and fear of what he might lose if he admitted he was wrong. It costs John the Baptist his head. Apart from repentance it was worse for Herod. T…

There are those who are adamant that they will have nothing to do with some of the supernatural gifts of the Spirit. One of the most ill-spoken of is speaking in tongues. I agree there there a place rife with fleshly expressions in arrogance that are not manifestations of The Spirit. But there are fleshly expressions in many areas of Christianity. …

Being able to hear the Voice of God who is Spirit, clearly, without the intrusion of man's opinion or religious doctrine, along with allowing the Light of the Word of God to shine brightly upon who we are and what we think, say and do is imperative! Religious church going, and looking the part and sounding the part won't do. Jesus said, "You must b…

This connects dots and adds foundation to the work of the Spirit in bringing me and my family out of the cult of Hebrew Roots. The Spirit told me clearly, about six years ago, that unless I repented and returned to my First Love He would remove my lampstand from me, as I read from Revelation Chapter Two. Today, in Mark Chapter Four, reading about p…

The competition for our ear space has always been a problem. But it is even more now that we have so much marketed to us that appeals to our flesh, and the enemy using his vast distribution network to keep us engaged with anything other than God the Spirit. The parable of the sower is about having ears to hear, Jesus said. Do we? Do we want to hear…

On this episode of FACTS, Dr. Boyce is joined by Roman Catholic podcaster, Steven Alspach (from The Catholic Brothers), to discuss the leaked news of communication between the ACNA and Rome.

In this episode we’re diving deep down into the dark and seedy world of adult animation. Helluva Boss is an adult animated cartoon about 3 demons, Blitzo, Moxxie and Millie who work at a company called I.M.P which stands for Immediate Murder Professionals. These demons live in one of the seven rings of Hell and murder people in the living world. Ha…

I've been hammering on Spiritual unity and the oneness that is God, and that we are invited into. The more I seek God I'm finding that unity and oneness in God the Spirit is not an option, but a commandment. And it is what He is doing in His body, to build His body. That is how He is building His kingdom and it isn't made up of ornate large structu…

Face it, neither you nor I, knowing who Judas was like Jesus did, would have numbered him among the Twelve, to be sent our with ability to heal. That's because we aren't capable of seeing people's hearts like Jesus does. And we worry that something bad will happen if we don't step in and make sure folks fly right, according to what we think right i…

Too often young believers are or congregants are identified as leaders by the laying on of hands, before they're equipped, and some before they're even called and born again by the Spirit who is God. It is dangerous! Both to the person hastily thrown into ministry unequipped or ill-equipped, but also to the men and women of whom he or she is to min…

The context of what Jesus said is clear. Notice that the Pharisees were telling Jesus that His disciples were harvesting and eating grain on the Sabbath and that was against the Law. He then tells them of David who ate the showbread, and so did His fighting men, though it was against the Law to eat it! The Law is the context. They wanted to keep th…

In Mark Chapter Two we see where the religious establishment were so steeped in their religion and their own stolen authority that they didn't believe they needed a Savior. Their knowledge of the Scriptures was nothing more than a religious badge they proudly and arrogantly wore. Their religion caused them to, eventually, murder Jesus! Nothing has …

Jesus was born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, and make us sons. How did He redeem mankind? By His atoning sacrifice; His shed blood and death. He died in our place because we were condemned to die with no hope, until He died for us. Therefore, Jesus fulfilled the righteous requirement of the law and through …

The clear distinction between the learned religious scholars of Judaism and the quiet yet dynamic power of the Spirit, who is God, in Jesus wasn't welcomed by the big dogs of Judaism. They claimed authority, much like some today talk of "taking authority" over spirits and dominions and cities and houses and situations. The reality is that is not au…

The amazing picture emerges as we look at full context of what is written in our Bible. A King who came to earth, born in a stable, raised up the son of a carpenter, then vilified, slandered, arrested, beaten nearly to death and then murdered on a cruel Roman cross. This King has never lived in a mansion, an ornate temple in a magnificent city. He …

Authority is at the heart of man's rebellion. When John the Baptist came preaching repentance and baptizing for the remission of sins, it was rooted in the authority of God is Jesus Christ who was coming, who could only be received if one repented of his own self-claimed authority. When you refuse to die to yourself Jesus can't live in you and thro…

As one reads Paul's letter to the Galatians it becomes for definitive and succinct in declaring the law espoused by Judaism, as well as today's Messianic Judaism and the Hebrew Roots Movement as weak and beggarly and a place of bondage!

In this episode we will examine the story of a real life demon who betrayed his brothers in arms, deceived many in a craven lust for power and murdered his own wife and child.

Love is powerful! Love is God and He is Spirit and works in us to bear love as the fruit of His workmanship in us. Paul writes in Romans 12 that we are to be kindly affectionate to one another. Man that is so cool. Greeting a brother of sister with a big hug, and hugging them goodbye, being kind to one another, helping one another is all the love b…

TheCorinthian Church of Christ seemed to have some issues of order in the gathering of the children of God. It seems a lot of selfism, arrogance, sectarianism, and men and women not functioning in the God given roles that lifted them both up. One of the ways it was very evident was in the area of speaking in tongues. It seems that some fellowships …

Speaking in tongues can be as much of a dividing line and hot topic as is Calvinism versus Arminianism or pre, mid, or post tribulation rapture. Tongues are a gift of the Spirit, but what is it's order to be for the believer? We may not have a clear understanding, or we may believe that we do. Either way, does what you believe, or what you do and y…

I was in my early teens as the hippie love movement was riding high in the mid to late 60's. Born of that, or in answer to it was the Jesus movement, or Jesus revolution and the birth of bands writing and performing songs to God and about God. But the devil continues to promote hatred. But he is diabolical and packages it as love that appeals to ea…

The Acts of the Holy Spirit chronicled in The Book of Acts are amazing supernatural events! We have the same Holy Spirit, who is God, who lives in we as believers, born again by Him!
