2 Tim. 4:9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: 4:10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. Of course, Paul is in prison in Rome awaiting his execution. In this section in his final chapter of his final letter,... 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 →
How were the OT saints saved? Were works necessary or was it by faith alone? Did they have eternal security? We’re totally going to answer all these questions beyond any reasonable doubt! STOP what you’re doing and READ the entire chapter of Romans 4. Seriously. Read Romans 4. I’m not kidding. Are you done? Don’t... 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 →
Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. What is true freedom? I suspect most people equate freedom with civil liberties. Freedom of speech. Freedom of assembly. Free exercise of religion. But, see, civil liberties is just a form... Continue Reading →
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. - Galatians 5:1 (KJV) i wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a Happy Independence Day. I am so thankful to live in the United States of American which has been the... Continue Reading →
For all that we believe and write about here on Supply of Grace, and for all that we believe and say on our Grace Life Podcast, I know what all the haters out there would say. “No, brother Joel. All of the Bible is written to us. It’s all about us, and there is only... Continue Reading →
To all our beautiful MAD BAD saints, I thought I might share some articles we almost talked about this week on our podcast… …but didn’t. First, if you missed today’s podcast, you gotta check out this one on 3 Misunderstandings About Humility. I don’t know who Michael Kelley is, but I liked what he said.... Continue Reading →
Eph 1:2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God OUR Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Notice how Paul wrote, “our Father.” God is not our Father just by virtue of being creator. Because of our rebellion, He’s given us up and given us over to reprobate thinking, allowing us in our free... Continue Reading →
Auto-play on YouTube can be a wonderful thing. It can also be quite an eye-opening experience, even when listening. A couple of days ago the Sunday message from a local mega-church ended up in the que. The message was the standard “purpose-driven,” “best life now” fare, which is wrong on so many fronts. But, the... Continue Reading →
Did you know that the phrase “Bride of Christ” does not exist in the Bible? So how did this question ever come about as to whether the church or Israel is the Bride of Christ? I’ve heard that “Bride of Christ” is a dogma of the Catholic Church. J.C. O’Hair said this concept had been... Continue Reading →
Yes, you read the title correctly: There is indeed a brewing controversy over the use of dust-jackets on hard cover books. One side says they add to the reader's pleasure of the book at hand. The other says that they get in the way, and impede the reading of a book, thereby taking the pleasure out of... Continue Reading →
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 →
One. We know it most commonly as the first number of all numbers. It is the first whole number of which when other ones are added you get two, three, etc. Yet, there are other ways to understand one. One can denote singularity instead of duplicity. Instead of two or more of something there is... Continue Reading →
There was an article in an April, 2000, issue of the Berean Searchlight by C.R. Stam called “Judge Not – Judge All Things.” Check that out if you want to dive into this subject more deeply. There is a sense in which we are to judge not and there is a sense in which we... 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 →
2Ti 4:14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: 2Ti 4:15 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words. Paul didn’t share this information because he wanted our pity. Paul isn't saying, “woe is me.” Paul shares this story for a reason.... Continue Reading →
For now on I really do have to remember to turn on my voice recorder when I am driving. I have always had peace when I am alone in my car driving, whether on my way to work, or running simple, mundane errands. I seem to be able to think clearer. I'm able to talk, not... Continue Reading →
LET ME BE Why is it Lord that you should hear my call? My heart is obstinate and hard as a wall, I do my own thing and pleasures for me, Always saying to God, just let me be, But as the heartaches of life start to bring me down, I look for help and... Continue Reading →
I love this couple way too much. Sometimes they’re called “Priscilla and Aquila” as in Rom. 16:3. In the Greek, their names would be pronounced as “pris’-cil-lah” and “ak-oo’-las”. I love that. Sometimes this dynamic duo is also called, as in 2 Tim. 4:19, Prisca and Aquila. Some say that Prisca is a shorthand version... Continue Reading →
