Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Notice how Paul begins with the word “For.” This word connects this verse to what came before it in verses 8-9. Vs. 8 also begins with For, which connects it... Continue Reading →
The One Word that Destroys Calvinism
With the recent passing of John MacArthur, Calvinism has come under scrutiny and debate in the public sphere, which is a very good thing. I daresay Calvinism is one of the most vile character assassinations of God that exists in Christianity. We had coincidentally published a couple strong takedowns of Calvinism: Calvinism Destroyed in One... Continue Reading →
Q&A: “Saying None Other Things” Than The Prophets?
Question: Why Does The Apostle Paul Say That He Is Say “None Other Things Than Those Which The Prophets And Moses Did Say Should Come?” And What Did The Prophets ‘Say?’ Act 26:22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than...

Love Eyes
Learning to see someone’s heart and soul, rather than focusing on their flesh is beneficial as we minister. I call it having ‘love eyes’ for others. Godly love is unconditional love and kindness, yet we are to remember: “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” (Col. 3:23)... Continue Reading →
The Rich Man and Lazarus
The Text: Luk 16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: Luk 16:20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, Luk 16:21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from...

Quality Controllers
We are to understand sound doctrine, be motivated by godly love, and separate from those causing discord: “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.” (Rom. 16:17) This is not a license to be grace quality control inspectors, scrutinizing other saints...

A Prayer for a Tragedy
How should a believer pray for a tragedy like the horrible flash flooding in Texas? Of course, we know that natural disasters are not judgments from God today. How do we know this? 2 Cor 5:19 tells us “that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them...” He... Continue Reading →
“No Man Should Be Moved By These Afflictions!”
1Th 3:2 And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith: 1Th 3:3 That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto. 1Th 3:4 For verily, when we were...

Keeping Our Eye on the Ball
Faith is something unseen, invisible to human eyes: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Heb. 11:1) So, sometimes what we believe can feel allusive, especially during difficulties. Our view of God can be limited by what we know, but also what we trust in the depth... Continue Reading →
The Prodigal Son
Luke 15:11 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 15:12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 15:13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey... Continue Reading →
