The idea of resurrection is fantastical. A concept of myth and legends. Resurrection stands in contrast to that which we commonly and naturally experience and see. Death governs our life. It produces fear, marks decisions, and encourages us to lay hold on this life – this life before death. Yet, resurrection although may be legend…

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…
His Grace Reigns!
Rom 5 is the end of a great section of Romans that begins in chapter 3, which is all about our justification through faith in Christ’s payment for our sins on the cross. Of course, you cannot have chapters 3-5 without chapters 1-2. They are essential set-ups to the payoff verses about how we may…
Raised With Christ
(Col 3:1) “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.” It is interesting that this verse begins with “if”. If is a word that speaks to conditionality; it is not a word that only deals with a question. Here in Colossians…
The 3 Exceedings in Ephesians
In Eph. 1:19, we find the first of three times when Paul wrote “exceeding” in the book of Ephesians. He writes, “And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power.” Paul chose His resurrection (1:20) as an example of God’s demonstration of His…
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…
The Tomb 3 Days Later
So far every Tuesday, we’ve taken the four Gospel accounts and combined them into a single narrative to cover the Lord’s tempting in the wilderness, His Agony in the Garden, His arrest and trial, and His crucifixion. Today, we’re going to look at the resurrection of Christ, specifically the events at the tomb, which is…
Begotten
When studying Scripture, the accurate definition of its words is critical to understanding their meaning. Also, of prime importance, is the context of any words under consideration. For example, we understand that the word “salvation” does not always refer to being forgiven of one’s sins and thereby justified before God. In Exodus 14:13, Moses says…
Today We Cry; Tomorrow We Rejoice!
Rom. 8:18 – For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. In understanding the Father’s purpose in the suffering and death of the saints, it is easy when in the throes of personal crisis, to desire for Him…
Spiritual Deadness & the Power of the Resurrection
Eph. 2:1, 5 – And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins…Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) The amounts and kinds of sin you have committed in your life have no relationship to the how spiritually dead you are…
Behold, All Things Are Become New
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 So often we pronounce something as “new”, yet it really isn’t. A new year is just another year with one digit difference. In fact, a new year makes us…
The First & Last Trump
“…and whom he justified, them he also glorified” Romans 8:30 “…preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” 1Timothy 3:16 The following study is taken from Chapter 1 of UP & AWAY: The Mystery, the Lord’s Day and the Predestination of the One New Man by David Winston Busch. The…
A Godly Response To Sickness And Death Part 2
2Co 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2Co 5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 2Co 5:3 If so be that being…
A Godly Response To Sickness And Death Part 1
Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Rom 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. Rom 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that…
