One of the most commonly asked questions I get from people is, “What is the best study Bible for me to get?” The answer that I used to give is different than the answer now. I do respect, even appreciate, the labor that has gone into Study Bibles. I have not recommended any study Bible for several years. This is because there are presuppositions built … Continue reading Never Mind the Study Bible: Study the Bible
On our Supply of Grace site, we have now thoroughly covered Day One of the Tribulation. In today’s article, we’re somewhere in the first quarter of the Tribulation.

The Fifth Seal Rev 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth … Continue reading The Seal Judgments
Have you ever wondered about some of the terms that we have used throughout the years, such as, “One nation under God,” and “God’s Country?” It’s election time once again, and we are sure to hear these phrases to prop up America, even placing it in “Most Favored Nation” status by God! I am as patriotic as any other red blooded American. I am so … Continue reading One Nation Under God
You may have heard about the hullabaloo online last week. A very sweet saint posted a David Reid video on her timeline on Facebook.

I’ve heard him say that you are an idiot if you don’t believe the KJV is God’s preserved translation.” First, … Continue reading Gatekeepers of the Grace Message
The problem with so many “so called” doctrines is that they are based on a single meaning of words which actually have different meanings. Words such as “elect,” “baptism,” and “church” are blindly given one blanket meaning, based on presumptions, which are based on theological traditions. Context is Key, and King, in defining words in Scripture. Otherwise we are placed into Biblical positions which are … Continue reading Second Hand News?
Throughout Bible history, God always called upon His people to be strong, be of good courage, and have no fear. The Jews, when they reached the promised land saw the giants and after all the miracles God performed to free them, they refused to trust in God, and they all demanded to go back to Egypt. Joshua and Caleb basically said, “Remember all those miracles … Continue reading Faith Strength Courage
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. – Psalm 16:11 A trip down memory lane.

This article is a longer one covering some of the basics regarding Gnosticism. A video of this message is available on my YouTube channel, if you prefer to view that, instead. (goneyondering.com) Not long ago, I was involved in a group discussion where the subject was raised about whether Colossians 2:10 was being used to minimize the issue of our conduct as believers. The argument basically stated … Continue reading The Gnostic Incursion

Have you ever studied all the times Paul writes always? Because of all-sufficiency of the cross, because of the perfection of everything God made us in His Son, God … Continue reading Always

Marriage between men and women (there is no other way) is an institution which has for it’s establishment God, Himself. He created Eve as a helpmeet for Adam, so that he would not be alone.

A timeless principle, throughout all ages, throughout all dispensations, is that God has always called upon His people to be strong, to be of good courage, and to have no fear.
