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.

Why There Is Division? Foundational Problems 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2Ti 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 2Ti 2:17 And their word will eat as doth a canker:...

Taking a trip down “memory lane” can be quite the trip, indeed. Sometimes that trip can be good. Sometimes bad. We’ve all been down that road before. One such trip is going back to a time of learning how to ride a bicycle. To make thkngs simple, we’ll look at three phases: The Tricycle With... Continue Reading →
Rom.15:5] Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: [6] That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. With any organization or business, being on the ‘same page’ is vital to the overall... Continue Reading →
You may have heard about the hullabaloo online last week. A very sweet saint posted a David Reid video on her timeline on Facebook. The new editor of the Berean Searchlight decided to leave this comment: “I’d be careful; KJV Only groups are very cultish. I’ve heard him say that you are an idiot if... 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 →
2Tim.1:6] Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. [7] For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. [8] Be not thou therefore ashamed of... Continue Reading →
Jeremiah means “exalted of the Lord,” or “established by the Lord.” He was the son of Hilkiah. Anathoth, his hometown, was in Benjamin, about three miles northeast of Jerusalem. The first time the word of the Lord came to young Jeremiah was when he was a child in the 13th year of the child King... Continue Reading →
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...

My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. [12] Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. - Job 23:11-12 One thing in life that is so very important is a correct diet. ...

How about some link love to a lot of free grace goodies I adore? (I'm a bit of a link-a-holic.) Shawn Brasseaux has written over 4,500 grace articles each fewer than 333 words. My church’s website has a wonderful list of many grace newsletters including the Berean Searchlight, which has a new October issue (and... Continue Reading →
Rom 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. Rom 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the... Continue Reading →
I have for years been telling Pastor Hal Bekemeyer he needs to write a book called "God Don't Make Junk!" That's a phenomenal title, which he is known for saying on occasion (along with "Words mean things!") Of course, a book with that title would be all about our glorious identification with Christ, who you... Continue Reading →
1Co 16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. 1Co 16:14 Let all your things be done with charity. 1Co 16:15 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the...

OK, first off, I would like to have a show of hands to demonstrate how many people agree with any other person 100% of the time. OK, do I have any takers at 50%? That is what I thought. You can hardly find two people who agree on more than a few key issues. Everyone... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
I remember hearing a Christian radio broadcast several years ago. The subject of it was regarding music. The premise of it being that the music leader of a church is one of the most difficult positions there is in the church, a premise that I do not hold on to, by the way. So you... Continue Reading →
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, (1 Thessalonians 4:13a) It has long been speculated that ignorance is not a sin, but to remain ignorant is. Yet, God had initiated sacrifices for sin committed in ignorance. Even when we hold the position that ignorance is not sin, ignorance has indeed created many problems, including... Continue Reading →
