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 →
Eph.6:10] Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. [11] Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. In the military, soldiers adorn their ‘combat gear’ on a daily basis, and even though they are not... Continue Reading →
The problem with so many "so called" doctrines is that they are based on a single meaning of words which actually have different meanings. Words such as "elect," "baptism," and "church" are blindly given one blanket meaning, based on presumptions, which are based on theological traditions. Context is Key, and King, in defining words in... Continue Reading →
Throughout Bible history, God always called upon His people to be strong, be of good courage, and have no fear. The Jews, when they reached the promised land saw the giants and after all the miracles God performed to free them, they refused to trust in God, and they all demanded to go back to...

Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Rev 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast,... Continue Reading →
666 is, arguably, one of the most symbolically rich numbers in the Bible. Bullinger would write, “666 is very far-reaching, and is filled with a meaning deeper, perhaps, than anything we have yet discovered. One thing, however, is certain, and that is, that the triple 6 marks the culmination of man's opposition to God in... Continue Reading →
2nd Tim.2:20] But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. [21] If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use,... Continue Reading →
Psa. 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Is this not a fascinating verse? "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." That's amazing! Does this verse remind you of anything... Continue Reading →
Gal.3:1] O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? [2] This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? [3] Are ye... 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 →
Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that... Continue Reading →
2Cor.11:3] But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. [4] For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or... Continue Reading →
You might recall that in the first half of the Tribulation, there are two sets of seven judgments, 14 judgments of God in the first 3 ½ years of the Tribulation - the seals and the trumpets. The seventh trumpet is a big deal. The seventh trumpet is blown at the midway point. The seventh... 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 →
Exo 15:11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? One writer called this verse “one of the loftiest descriptions of the majesty and excellency of God in the whole Scripture.” Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods?... Continue Reading →
Reading through Matthew's gospel I am struck by the misunderstanding or lack of understanding Christ's own apostles had concerning Him and His kingdom. I dare not say this with a measure of bravado, as if I would have known better. I read and study His Word today and I do not understand many things. Yet,... Continue Reading →
In order for someone to feel comfortably convicted about justification during the Tribulation, I’d suggest that you need a good working knowledge about justification throughout the entire Bible. Consider the book of Genesis, which covers about 2,000 years of human history. God could have easily given thousands of books covering in detail so many aspects... Continue Reading →
Rom 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Today, there is a saying; ‘you can’t learn to... Continue Reading →
This article is a longer one covering some of the basics regarding Gnosticism. A video of this message is available on my YouTube channel, if you prefer to view that, instead. (goneyondering.com) Not long ago, I was involved in a group discussion where the subject was raised about whether Colossians 2:10 was being used to minimize the... Continue Reading →
People sometimes read my 5,000+-word articles and say, “Joel’s a bit wordy.” I don’t deny it. So, I’m going to start off the new year with a SHORT JOEL HAYES ARTICLE! That's right! It’s a miracle! Have you ever studied all the times Paul writes always? Because of all-sufficiency of the cross, because of the... Continue Reading →
