For now on I really do have to remember to turn on my voice recorder when I am driving. I have always had peace when I am alone in my car driving, whether on my way to work, or running simple, mundane errands. I seem to be able to think clearer. I’m able to talk, not…

THE RECIPE FOR PEACE
There are two things that most people desire, not only today, but throughout history. Number one is peace. Number two is money. And, many believe that more money can create peace. This is impossible, because the lack of peace is within each and very human being. James, though addressing the 12 Tribes of Israel (James 1:1), had some incredible…
Our Everlasting Consolation
2 Thess. 2:13-17 2Th 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 2Th 2:14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of…
Passion Week
Hello, saints! Below is a collection of 4 articles on Supply of Grace in which I explored in chronological order the final days of the Lord’s life on Earth and His resurrection. I took the four Gospel accounts and combined them into a single narrative in chronological order. I also tried to highlight every time…
Relationships
From time to time, I hear some folks in Grace circles say, “The Bible never says we are to have a relationship with Christ.” This comment always causes me to ponder exactly what they mean by that. So, I take digital pen in hand and offer my rare, but humble opinion regarding this. Let’s start…
The Absence of Joy
Joy is a person. His name is Jesus! Is it me? Or, are there not more, and more Christians who have lost their joy? How can this be? Has the church failed in communicating the absolute sufficiency of the Cross-work of Jesus? The reality is that far too many churches, and pastors,, have fallen short…
Learning To “Reckon” And “Count” God’s Word
Rom.6:10] For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.[11] Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.[12] Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in…
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 not;…
They Will Not Endure Sound Doctrine Part 2
Acts 7:51] Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.[52] Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the…
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). Many of the things I used to do are no longer done, or are donw with great strain. There…
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…
Strong In The Lord And In The Power Of His Might
Eph.6:10] Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.[11] Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.[12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness…

A Workman That Needeth Not To Be Ashamed
2nd Tim.2:14] Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.[15] Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. There are many who…
Christ Is All
For many finding the center of their lives is troubling. Is it this or is it that? One day it’s this and another day it’s that. Chasing that which brings us feeling no matter what it is or at what cost is a painstaking endeavor. Uncertainty, apathy, and despondency oftentimes results. The soul is designed…
‘Self-Awareness?’ Know Ye Not Your Own Selves?
2Co 13:3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you. 2Co 13:4 For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the…
Just My Imagination?
And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. (Genesis 6:5) Before I go any further, I just want to pass along this disclaimer: This article is not about the “Nephilim.” I repeat: This is not about…
Logos, the Word
John 1:1 – “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Christ was with God, and He was God. We know from Joh. 1:14, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us… full of grace and truth.” The Greek word for Word is Logos,…

The Eternity of God
Everything about our eternal life hinges upon the fact that God is incorruptible, unchangeable, and eternal in His essence. You can find enormous comfort just by meditating upon the eternity of God. Then you can rest in the certainty of His promises because He is an eternal God. Consider the opening to Psalm 90. Psa…
