The Mind of Matt
All Things
April 1, 2020
Interesting thoughts while studying on the subject of anointing out of 1 John 2:20,27 and also referencing 2 Corinthians 1:21. Know all things…Greek word panton (which is the plural of pas [all])….the unction or the anointing was sealed in us by the Holy Spirit. We could say the anointing of God’s Spirit sealed in us […]
Tharsei: Be of good cheer!
March 19, 2020
What should be our response in the face of great negativity and conflict between faith and fear? The Word of God exhorts us to “renew our minds”…we are commanded to not conform to this world….how is this possible? That’s a good question! We can be transformed by the renewing of our mind (Rom. 12:2). Rom. […]
Satan’s Devices
October 17, 2018
The Greek word nous means intellectual faculty of the natural man, the mind, the reasoning faculty (logic). 2 Corinthians 2:11, “Lest satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” The word devices referenced in this text is this Greek word nous.

Faith is: The Reality of Who God is
November 3, 2017
Faith is… The just shall live by faith. Mk. 11:22 Have faith in God…or have the God kind of faith. And we know that faith comes by hearing and hearing, meditating on the Word of God. (Rom. 10:17) Hebrews 11:6 says that without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that comes to […]
The Just Shall Live by Faith
November 1, 2017
What faith is or is not….that is the question! You have probably visited church and heard this, “the just shall live by faith.” What does this mean? What does the word faith bring to mind? Is is a creed, a mode of behavior, a set of personal beliefs, or a school of thought? How does one receive […]
