“Happy Is The Man That Findeth Wisdom”
Prov.3:13] Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.[14] For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.[15] She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

I’m So Tired!
Since suffering from a stroke in March, 2022, I have been on the road to recovery. I am, however, physically tired. Each day I get more, and more, back to normal (whatever that may be now).

No Words Stand Alone
"No man is an island," says the song, and much the same can be said of any word in any language. One of the arguments set forth against the reliability of the King James Bible deals with the issue of the vernacular of the original languages. It is suggested that, since many of the original...

Does the Rapture Motivate You?
I once read an E.W. Bullinger book called 10 Sermons on the Second Advent, which he had preached in the 1800’s at Oxford. I wanted to know what a Bullinger sermon sounded like. And (surprise, surprise!), a Bullinger sermon was pure exegesis from beginning to end. I then fell in love with Bullinger’s fifth sermon... Continue Reading →
Paul’s Pattern Of “Longsuffering” In Godliness
1Ti 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 1Ti 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter...

Unsatisfied
UNSATISFIED Our flesh is in a continual state of dissatisfaction. It relishes all the religion and self-effort that we can throw at it and then screams for MORE. "Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, {21} (Touch... Continue Reading →
That Pool at Bethesda
What are we to make of this angel that stirred up the pool of Bethesda, which healed the first one who jumped in? Joh 5:1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Joh 5:2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is... Continue Reading →
Q & A: “But Ye Have Not So Learned Christ?”
Question: What Does The Apostle Paul Mean In Ephesians 4:20-21 By: “Ye Have Not So Learned Christ,” And “Ye Have Heard Him, And Been Taught By Him?” Eph 4:20 But ye have not so learned Christ; Eph 4:21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth... Continue Reading →
My View of Calvinism
CALVINISM1. Makes God the author of sin.2. Cheapens the grace of God by limiting it's scope.3. Populates the planet with a majority population of un-redeemable un-men like creatures who were created by God as "vessels of wrath fitted to destruction."4. Denigrates faith by teaching that regeneration precedes faith.5. Falsely teaches that faith is the gift... Continue Reading →
Angels Ascending and Descending
Why did the Lord tell Nathaniel “ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man” and when did that happen? John 1:43-51 Joh 1:43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. Joh 1:44 Now Philip... Continue Reading →
The “Foolish” Wisdom Of This World
1st Cor.3:18] Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.[19] For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.[20] And again, The Lord... Continue Reading →
