As I’m sure many know, Dr. James Dobson passed away last this week. He was 89. Millions knew him as the host of Focus on the Family. He was the child psychologist who “answered hundreds of thousands of parenting questions and urged Christians to fight in America’s ‘civil war of values.’” Hmm. “A civil war... Continue Reading →
Trust vs. Belief
“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.” Eph. 1:13 opens with "In whom ye also trusted." In whom, in Christ, ye, you Ephesians, also trusted in Christ, which... Continue Reading →
The Beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
The Bible is, on its own, an amazing magnifying glass on the very nature of God - through the ages.
The Gospel in the 4 Gospels
If I said, “Have you heard the good news?”, you would ask, “What good news?” Until I specify the good news you would not know what good news I was talking about. The word gospel in the Bible means “good news.” The word “gospel” occurs 17 times in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and... Continue Reading →

Think On These Things
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. – Philippians 4:8 In the closing of the Book of Philippians is...

One Nation Under God
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... Continue Reading →
THE JUNK DRAWER?
1 Timothy 1:18-20 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; 19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom...

People Are People
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 →
THE “UGOTTA” DISEASE
There is a dreaded disease that strikes at the heart of every person in the world. This disease also is the most devious of all, because it psychologically makes one think they are actually well. This disease, unfortunately, can be found in many churches. It is nothing new, but has been around even before there... Continue Reading →
Hearken to His Grace
HEARKEN to HIS GRACE One day you will regret that you gave a deaf ear, For the grace of God was made very clear, Oh, this grace of God is such an unending treasure, But why do you continue to reject God's good pleasure? The Lord Jesus Christ, the Saviour gave Himself for you, Why... Continue Reading →
Leading Captive Silly Women
2 Tim. 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 2 Tim. 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. You might remember from history, Stalin’s Great Purge back in 1937, which was... Continue Reading →
Universal Reconciliation?
Occasionally, I check out various writings on subjects that interest me and lately I have been perusing Universal Reconciliation websites. It is puzzling to me about all the hoopla over the translation over the Greek word ‘aionios’ (everlasting, eternal, etc.). The common vein is to question all translations of the scripture and to suggest that... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →
Ye Have the Poor With You Always
And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. - Mark 14:6-7 KJV One of the biggest trends happening in the church is... Continue Reading →
All Saved or All Offered Salvation?
I have been reading the writings of the Universalists and am trying to make sense of them, especially as they relate to the original languages. Without exception their writings abandon the Received Text and rest upon translation exceptions to make their case.By way of example this quote from the promo for “At the End of... Continue Reading →
D.E.A.D!
The major focus in so much of what is called Christianity today (The magazine is indeed a correct representative of Christianity Today) is focused on me, myself, and I, rather than on Christ Jesus. One of the most popular teachers / authors is Joel Osteen, whose bestselling book, “Your Best Life Now” continues to be... Continue Reading →
The Godly Design Of His Word
Rom 1:10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. Rom 1:11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; Rom 1:12 That is, that I may... Continue Reading →
The Ultimate Expression
In that horrific scene of Christ hanging on that cross, we find the ultimate expression of both hatred and love, of sin and grace. Christ hanging on that cross was the most vile display of evil, the worst conceivable expression, of man’s hatred against God. However, from God’s perspective, Christ hanging on that cross was...

James 2:26 “Faith Without Works Is Dead ALSO”
Jas 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Jas 2:25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? Jas 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is... Continue Reading →
