This issue of "simplicity" has been a matter that has been employed countless of times. If you had a nickel for every time one used this issue in a conversation we all would be rich. I am not saying there isn't a context for this, for Paul uses it in 2 Corinthians 11:4; however, often... Continue Reading →
Text: Philippians 3:7-10 “Do you know Him?” How often I have made that inquiry to an audience, or an individual, as to whether they have believed the Gospel concerning what the Lord Jesus Christ DID for them through His death, burial, and resurrection, and thereby have a living relationship with Him. Do they know Him... Continue Reading →
Eph. 1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 1:21 Far above all principality, and power,...

1Ti 5:11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry; 1Ti 5:12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. 1Ti 5:13 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which...

Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. [28] Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. [29] Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the... Continue Reading →
“Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?” {1 Corinthians 3:5} The Corinthian divisions were from the strife and envying going on among them, that were rooted and embedded in the fleshly wisdom of the world. By nature, each man seeks... Continue Reading →
The problem with modern churches is they open to the four gospels, not understanding the books of the Bible that came before them, and assume God is talking to them. Let us look and see what we need to understand before we ever get to the book of Matthew! The children of Israel understand that... Continue Reading →
In that horrific scene of Christ hanging on that cross, we find the ultimate expression of both hatred and love, of sin and grace. Christ hanging on that cross was the most vile display of evil, the worst conceivable expression, of man’s hatred against God. However, from God’s perspective, Christ hanging on that cross was...

Gen 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. Gen 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man... Continue Reading →
Former post from previous blog...Brief Thoughts.......... I have been mulling over the scriptures: mostly Romans 8:26-27 and the intercessory ministry of the Spirit to provide the things we "ought" to know. In so doing and learning the Spirit provides us knowledge through the word of God, I have compared much 1 Corinthians 2 with Romans... Continue Reading →
“For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.” {1 Corinthians 2:16} The mind of the Lord reaches back to its counsel and forward to its fulness with justifiable provision made by Himself. The mind of the Lord is the cause, reason, and... Continue Reading →
We all have Loved ones, friends, family members, random people in our lives that are lost. And we need to be able ask questions and give answers so people can go from to Lost to Saved. Most people say they don't share their faith because of fear, they don't know the verses, they don't know... Continue Reading →
Question: I was wondering if you could give me some help with the issue in Philippians 2:25-30 concerning Epaphroditus. It seems to be a passage that some folks who scoff at God’s word “rightly divided” point to in order to demonstrate that since God “had mercy on him” then God is still miraculously healing folks...

The Gospel is the power of God to us revealed through the Spirit (Rom. 1:16).The Word of God that He inspired affirms the timeless principle of faith (Rom. 1:17).He also affirms those things we already knew instinctively: that God exists, that He created all things, as well as His eternal power and Godhead (Rom. 1:19-20).He...

1Th 4:9 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another. 1Th 4:10 And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more; The love...

“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that... Continue Reading →
Rom. 8:18 – For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. In understanding the Father’s purpose in the suffering and death of the saints, it is easy when in the throes of personal crisis, to desire for Him... Continue Reading →
Helpeth Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Teacheth 1 Corinthian 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which... Continue Reading →
1Co 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 1Co 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 1Co 6:4 If then ye have... Continue Reading →
