All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Tim. 3:16-17) This is the last occasion in the last book written for the Bible in which the... Continue Reading →
The kinsman-redeemer is a male Jewish relative who, according to various laws of the Pentateuch, had the privilege (or responsibility) to act on behalf of a relative who was in trouble, in danger, or in need. He is one who delivers or rescues (Genesis 48:16; Exodus 6:6) or redeems property or person (Leviticus 27:9–25, 25:47–55).He... Continue Reading →
“But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them…” (Matthew 6:7-8). The “Our Father” prayer is often repeated today without really thinking about what the Bible says later after Jesus has died and... Continue Reading →
“For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little.” (Isa. 28:10) Seriously. This is about drunk priests. You’ve heard the old joke about the new priest doing his first mass who was so nervous he could hardly speak. He asked the monsignor... Continue Reading →
Phil.4:8] 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. [9] Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and... Continue Reading →
Isaiah 55:1-3: 1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not?...

Mat 3:1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 3:3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of...

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 →
Why did the Lord say to His own mother, "Woman, what have I to do with thee?" You remember the story, don't you? This is when the Lord turned the water into wine at that wedding in Cana in John 2:1-12. They ran out of wine. Mary, the Lord’s mother, went to Him and said,... Continue Reading →
1st Thess.1:3] Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; [4] Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. [5] For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in... Continue Reading →
What a fright that the grace of God is so manifestly spurned, So many ignorant of the wrath of God that they have so earned, The world prances about in the arrogance of their wanton haughtiness, Being so unwitting of their own sinful naughtiness, How so many presume on God, that He will simply look...

All of God’s word is inspired and profitable for us (2 Timothy 3:16-17). But in 2 Timothy 2:15 we are told to rightly divide the word of truth because there are natural divisions and distinctions in God’s Word. God himself and Jesus Christ never change. They are the same, yesterday, today, and forever, but one... Continue Reading →
2 Timothy 2:15 Study – why? – to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. What does that mean to shew thyself approved unto God? Study Webster would tell us that study is a setting of the mind or thoughts upon a subject.... Continue Reading →
What about the problem of sin in my daily life? Confession for forgiveness to restore to fellowship? Many say we lose fellowship because of sin, and therefore must confess and forsake it in order to be restored. That is Israel under the OT Law. That is like placing a bucket under a leak in our...

We MAD BAD believers teach that when a person gets saved, he or she becomes a member of the Body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:13). We also teach that the phrase in Christ encapsulates all the rich positional and spiritual blessings we have as members of the Body of Christ. What we have in Christ... Continue Reading →
2nd Tim.2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. [2] And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. In the military, there are those who are soldiers who never... Continue Reading →
Ephesians 2:1-10 has 3 natural divisions. The Raw Materials, The Process, and The Finished Product. In Ephesians 2:1-3, the raw material is the sinner born as a son of Adam. All of us come into this world the same way, by birth through our parents, who came from their parents, and so on. We are... Continue Reading →
I’d like to talk about a man whose books I do not recommend. There’s no spiritual value reading his works. This man was a German philosopher from the 1800’s. His name was Friedrich Nietzsche. The only thing about Nietzsche worth admiring is that he had this massive, unwieldly, walrus mustache draped over his face like... Continue Reading →
“Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things...

1 Cor. 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth;...
