And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. - Galatians 6:16 The word "Israel" is found 2,576 times in the King James Bible. Of the 2,576 times mentioned, all 2,576 times it refers to physical Israel, or the literal person named Israel,... Continue Reading →
Here’s something interesting to consider from our sermon Sunday. Compare and contrast how Paul treated believers before and after his conversion. Paul’s Treatment of Believers Before His Conversion: Persecuted the Church of God - He said in Phil. 3:6, “Concerning zeal, persecuting the church…” In Gal. 1:13, he said, “…beyond measure I persecuted the church...

Eph 2:14 For he is our peace… Paul begins with the word “For.” In a grammatical and exegetical sense, when a verse begins with “For,” this signals that Paul is about to give us a reason or an explanation for the preceding statement, which in this case is how we are made nigh by the...

There is a monumental shift in your thinking and how you live your life when you have reckoned that you have a perfect standing in His grace, when you know who you are in Christ. From that moment onward, you rest in those truths. You don’t worry about upsetting God because, say, you ate something... Continue Reading →
[These are some of the notes from my recent message at the 2025 Florida Regional Grace Conference. -Joel] Eph 6:18. “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.” This is the one and only time Paul mentions perseverance. Paul never really defines... Continue Reading →
When the Lord told Paul, “for my strength is made perfect in weakness” (2 Cor. 12:9), what did He mean by my strength? What is God’s strength made perfect in our weaknesses? We all know the context very well. Paul was dealing with, what I personally suspect was, a demon or a demon-possessed person verbally... Continue Reading →
“Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things...

Each of the epistles of the apostle Paul begins with this wonderful phrase or one similarly worded: “Grace be unto you, and peace, from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.” Is this just a nice way of beginning a letter to all his churches? In fact, this is much more than that!... Continue Reading →

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. My recollection some years later is of a flat rock, that was just outside of the boundary of a ball field. This was... Continue Reading →

There is one thing that will never change. People will always be people - no matter their personal level of sanctification. We have been given by God peculiar (some more peculiar than others) particular personality traits, which often conflict with the New Man, who is supposed to reflect the image of Christ. Some Believers are... Continue Reading →
2Co 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 2Co 12:8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from...

One of the realities that is often so hard for people to fathom is that each and every person in the world is, in fact, an individual. Individual habits, individual appearances, individual diets, even individual preferences of clothing and automobiles. There are no two people alike - even identical twins! There is no single physical... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →

There’s a story* told by a Grace Believer who met another Grace Believer in the middle of the Golden Gate Bridge. He said: “I was standing in the middle of the Golden Gate Bridge admiring the view when another man walked up alongside of me. I heard him say quietly, ‘What an awesome God.’ “I... Continue Reading →
He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. - Proverbs 18:13 I have always been a proponent of apologetics - the defense of the faith. It is, after all, an important issue. Knowing your Christian worldview, and the difference between Biblical Christianity, and other “isms” which run... Continue Reading →
Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. (1 Corinthians 4:1-2) One of the most important things for anyone that ministers, no matter their role, is that they be faithful. As... Continue Reading →
