How would you define a “spiritual babe” according to Paul’s epistles? Herein are 6 Characteristics of Spiritual Babes! PTL! 1. Spiritual Infancy Is Doctrinal Immaturity. In Ephesians 4:14, a spiritual babe is a believer who lacks doctrinal stability and discernment leaving them vulnerable to confusion and deception. Paul describes such a person as being “children,...

One of my favorite interactions that Jesus had with anyone was one particular time he had to deal with his disciples, and the action they took regarding the little children. And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. 14 But when Jesus saw... Continue Reading →
I love this question we received recently: “Isaiah 45:7 - I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. I'm not a Calvinist, but this verse bothers me. I'm just wondering what your take is on this verse.” I’d suggest that this is an... Continue Reading →
“…that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God” (Eph. 3:19) I’d suggest the perfect cross-reference and the perfect example of being filled with all the fulness of God is Christ Himself in Col. 2:9 - “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” Does this mean that all of...

As women who want to be used of God and be ambassadors (II Cor. 5:20) it is profoundly wise to understand the importance to rightly divide the Word (II Tim. 2:15) and know about Paul’s distinctive apostleship to the Gentiles. “For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles,...

2Co 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 2Co 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. Col 2:4 And this I say, lest any... Continue Reading →
Php 2:25 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants. Php 2:26 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick. Php 2:27 ... Continue Reading →

A study option to consider when approaching your Bible is regularly 'asking yourself application questions.' These will help you to practically live the doctrine and verses you are reading or learning. In the Word itself, God shows us many ways to look at and study the Scriptures, however, for a quick list of ideas for... Continue Reading →
Sermon on the Mount was a message that I’m sure many people, especially His disciples, had been anticipating ever since the Lord began His ministry, because they want to know what’s the kingdom going to be like? How will people get into the kingdom? “The Chosen,” for example, had Jesus thinking through what He was... Continue Reading →
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 →
I love the comparison between Genesis vs. Revelation, the beginning vs. the end. J. Sidlow Baxter in his work, Explore the Book, said, “A comparison of Genesis to Revelation proves that this book is a completed revelation of God to man. They complement each other. “In both, we have a new beginning and a new... Continue Reading →
Today, we’re concluding our look at the seven letters to the seven churches with the letter to Laodicea. I love this letter. The Lord has nothing good to say to these people. This is the famous lukewarm church, neither hot nor cold. It’s interesting to me that just as Paul’s final letter, 2 Tim., presents... Continue Reading →
This is an excerpt from last night's message. Mat 11:20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: Mat 11:21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and...

Contextualization is the process of considering something in its context. Years ago, we had men’s breakfast on Saturday mornings. I always came loaded with Bible questions. Sometimes I’d ask a question, and I’d get no answer. Fred would look around the table to see if there were any takers. Then he’d say, “Well, brother, let’s... Continue Reading →
2 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. 2 Tim. 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth....
