Whoever commits sin is a slave to sin and a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. (John 8:34) 

 Go, and sin no more. (John 5:14; 8:11) 

 The one who practices sin is of the devil. (1 John 3:8) 

 Whoever abides in Him does not sin.(1 John 3:6) 

 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. (1 John 3:9) 

 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him. (1 John 5:18) 

 How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? (Rom. 6:2) 

 Knowing this: that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.” (Rom. 6:6) 

 He who has died has been freed from sin. (Rom. 6:7) 

 You, having been set free from sin, you became salves of righteousness. (Rom. 6:18, 22) 

 Since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lust of men, but for the will of God. ( 1 Pet. 4:1-2) 

 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. (Gal. 5:24) 

 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. (Gal. 5:25) 

 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. (Gal. 5:16) 

 IF....you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. (Gal. 5:18) 

 Now...the works of the flesh are evident....(Gal. 5:19-21) 

 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. (Rom. 8:1) 

 The righteous requirements of the law are fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. (Rom. 8:4) 

 As many as are led by the Spirit of God, These are the sons of God. (Rom. 8:14) 

 IF you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. (Rom. 8:13) 

 IF...you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31-32) 

 With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible. (Mark 10:27) 

 Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well. (Luke 17:19) 

 Do YOU want to be made well? (John 5:6) 

 "Hath...God....Really....Said?" -the serpent (Gen.3:1)

    Dear Tony,

    Just a short note of appreciation to let you know that your blog has helped revive and awaken me to what it means to be a Christian. Thank you so much for being bold and going where Christ has led you. I am back to reading the Word again and trying to live my life in the Spirit. I am back to putting my trust and faith in God instead of man. Through the power of God and the grace of Christ, the old man is gasping and dying.

    I can only assume that you posted all of these Scriptures because you are receiving some criticism. You are saying, "Don't take my word for it, read for yourself!". I have read for myself and it is changing my life.

    God bless your family and you.

      Good morning, BWITW :-)
      I want you to know what a blessing it was for me to come across this last night before I went to bed. I knew I would respond this morning.
      I think we have had brief exchanges in the past year, perhaps...on here? Your note not only was an encouragement to me, but also a confirmation. God continues to remind me that He is the one who watches over His word to perform it and He still today, knows how to 'confirm His word'. I need only to trust Him and continue sharing as He shares with me.
      Two passages that really stand out and I am reminded of frequently is Ps. 107:20 ' He sent His word and healed them.."
      And...Acts 17:11 - "they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so."

      Notes like yours are just a reminder from 'above' that His word is true. :-).
      We are living in a unique time...and a good time for those who are 'waking up'.

      I can't say I have been openly confronted or criticized for anything I have shared. No telling what is said behind my back but no worries for there. We can get bogged down in opinions and commentaries, of which there is no shortage. Hence, my resolve to keep sharing the word...I can stand on that all day long. Solid as a rock. And makes so much more sense when He reveals it and confirms it.

      Press on...no doubt the Holy Spirit is doing a new work IN you.
      Thanks-
      Tony :-)

      PS- There was a 'tapping of the brakes' yesterday and today (Sunday). Not sure for how long, but make no mistake about it...He is not done and there is still much to take in, learn, and walk out. Stay tuned ;-)

  I can’t walk on water.  I have not yet....tried changing water in to wine. ;-)  And if you ask my wife, I still leave clothes on the bed instead of hanging them up regularly, which she would prefer; and I don’t shave every day, another thing she wishes I would do.   I’ve not swung a golf club in a while but doubt I could shoot a perfect par game if I went out and played this weekend; and I doubt I would beat anyone in a game of H.O.R.S.E. on the basketball court.   But I can tell you that I am walking in more freedom than I ever have walked before. And I only have one person to thank for that and it is Jesus.   I would in no way suggest that He has ‘completed’ His work in me but the more I study, the more I experience, and the more I write and share with you here, the easier it gets for me to declare with no hesitation or apologies...”He whom the Son sets free, is free indeed”. (John 8:36)   We were called to be free. (Gal. 5:13). If Jesus paid the price to purchase our freedom, w

 It’s ‘Go Time’.   In a matter of hours, after I complete one more sweep through my campuses to pick up that last batch of school picture orders, I’m heading west. It was 35 years ago, this month, my family and I made a visit up here to Lamar County from San Antonio. We were confident that this was where we were to set down roots and raise our three daughters I will be honest with you…leaving here was never on my radar. But then…God…. The two pictures I posted here this morning are rather fitting I think; as the sun sets over our Eiffel Tower here in Paris, TX…symbolic of my departure, a new chapter…or a new day, will begin in California where we will be closer to family. Believe it or not, I’m almost at a loss for words to convey what is in my heart this morning. I know this ‘farewell tour’ has been a rather prolonged one having made our plans public back in the early part of July when we put our home on the market. It has been overwhelming and humbling, to say the least, to be on

  10.24.21- Every story of redemption has a genesis, a beginning. As does your story. Perhaps it has yet to take place, let alone, be told. All our stories are different yet they share one remarkable trait: They are defining. How can they not be when God is the author?  Not long ago I pictured this scenario in my head of a group of notable figures I had read about in the bible sitting around a table. They were sharing their defining stories as to how their lives were forever changed by an encounter with Jesus, the Messiah. I could hear Paul talking of his journey  to Damascus. Fresh off the heels of overseeing the stoning of Stephen the martyr, he was knocked to the ground and the voice of God spoke to him from a light shining from heaven. (Acts 9) It is a remarkable story of conversion.  Then I could hear, sitting next to Paul, this other man who had been blind from birth begin to share his incredible encounter that began with someone (Jesus) opening his eyes and seeing for t
