Features Bible Study Commentaries, Categories, and Lectures. “Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).
Relativism: “Truth for you, not for me.” Truth is not relative, it is an absolute. The plan of satan is whitewashing God’s Word. Merchandising the gospel is whitewashing grace. Activism by believers is the attempt to reform the government and our leaders while ignoring the clear declarations of God’s Word. Jesus Christ controls history – let him control you. Stay…
I am a terrible, sinful son made perfect forever by the Author and Finisher of my salvation, who suffered horribly on the cross just for me (Hebrews 2:10, 5:9). By one offering, God has perfected those who trust Christ and all believers will be presented by Christ to the Father without spot or blemish (Hebrews 10:14; Ephesians 5:27). Keeping the…
When sick or injured, our instinctive fear is dying. In poverty circumstances, it is natural to fear hunger and even exposure. Our flesh is weak and selfish. But the crown of life demands sacrifice of self, suffering while in the world and, through it all, keeping the faith no matter what. Human life is unique. Human death is unique to…
God is the mature believer’s super hero on the stage of human history. Threads of spiritual heritage from the wisdom of ages are sewn together to form the mosaic of God’s love throughout the ages. God’s love for us was poured out for us in eternity past, with the result that our love for God is poured out toward God…
Evil is not something that has a life of its own, rather, it is a corruption of a perfect creation. Evil is the addition of corruption that caused perfect to be imperfect. Good has always existed but is restricted – good is something less perfect because evil co-exists. Both exist, but neither is an entity. Evil is a perversion of…
Jesus did not think of His deity as more important than our souls. The very nature of deity precluded the fact that any member of the trinity could be judged for sin. Eternal life can neither be born, nor die; holiness cannot have anything to do with sin; omnipresence cannot be reduced to one point (the cross); immutability cannot change….
We all face the same choice at least once: Turn from God or turn to Him. Learn God – learn God’s perspective. God’s solutions to our troubles were determined before the world was created. God has a plan against evil (Galatians 4:4; 1 Peter 1:18-20). So, “the justified will live by faith” (Habakkuk 2:4). “Live by faith,” three little words…
Christ is the faithful witness – Revelation 1:5 and 3:14, the first begotten of the dead, the Prince of kings – Revelation 1:5, the first and last – Revelation 1:17, He that liveth – Revelation 1:18, the Son of God – Revelation 2:18, holy and true – Revelation 3:7, the faithful and true witness, the amen, the beginning of the…
Constant exposure to massive infusions of untruth by the gov’t education system and the media will exhaust the spiritual resistance and strength of the American people, so that untruth becomes truth (1 Corinthians 10:12). Human viewpoint and secular humanistic philosophy prevails within college campuses. Every major secular university is a socialistic institution. American free enterprise is subtly being forsaken by…
Do you want to feel better about who and what God is? Then realize who and what you are. So, who are you? You, like everyone else, are a sinner saved by grace. So, what are you? You are a human being, meaning: you’re not God. Your being is human. You are a mortal being with an inherited sin nature…
Webmaster’s Note: This is an in-depth look at divine decrees and prayer. It is suggested that you look up the provided verses for yourself, and spend quality time digesting each concept and how it applies to your daily walk with the Lord through fields of grace. God created humanity with free will. We can and do make our own choices,…
Humanity is anointed. Deity is Eternal God. Blasphemy is rejecting Christ. God came to rescue humanity from sin-darkness, which is separation from God. Jesus, in His humanity, is the long awaited Messiah – the Davidic Messiah of Israel. Jesus is the anointed one, sent from God, baptized for power by the Holy Spirit of God the Father, thereby uniquely empowered…
When we see the moon, sun, stars, and creation, it is with physical sight. When we reflect on Hebrews 11:1 as we look upon all creation, it is spiritual insight – the meeting of sight and insight, thus proving Scripture. But it is creation, through physical sight, that is the evidence of things not seen. We somehow know there is…
The sanctuary of Trinity is in our soul, and it is there full-time for retreat, peace, rest, and refreshing, so we can drink from God’s fountain and then rise from our knees and return to the conflict – the angelic conflict – the daily and minute-by-minute battle between good and evil, to turn conflict to peace, suffering to blessing, losing…
Childlike closeness is central to the believer’s son-ship with Father God. This is the heart of the Gospel. By faith in the cross-work of Christ, we are adopted by God as His children. At salvation, God restores the believer and we are called “privileged to God,” our “Abba” (Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:6). Christ had the unique position and power to…
Through the lens of Christ my Savior, I can see (and live) closer to the reality of eternity because the view is more clearly defined. The errors of worldly thinking are many. Ravi Zacharias once explained that: “For the hindu, ‘karma,’ the moral law of cause and effect, is a life-defining concept. Life carries a moral debt (or even debts)…
God is sovereign over the universe and human affairs. Divine sovereignty and human freedom co-exist. I really like the statement in Daniel 4:35: “All the inhabitants of the earth are counted as nothing, and He does what He wants with the army of heaven and the inhabitants of the earth. There is no one who can hold back His hand…
Law 1: Identity law Law 2: Non-contradiction Law 3: Excluded middle Identity – 1Truth is 2absolute – untruth is absolute. 3Neither can be the other. Therefore, non-contradiction is “neither can be the other.” So, all three are absolutes. Human Logic is based on reality – patterned after reality. “God, our Creator, gave us truth. We added untruth.” The principles of…
Christ’s First Coming (called the “First Advent”) was rejected by the Jews, and destruction followed in 70 A.D. by Titus. Likewise, when the dispensation of the Gentiles (non-Jews) is completed, Christ will come again (called the “Second Coming”) and destroy Gentile nations. Christ, at His Second Coming will, by the Word of His mouth – a mere breath, something less…
Death is the enemy of creation. It has no regard for the beauty or the goodness of life. Death sweeps through the gardens of life, destroying the lilies and the roses, the weeds and thistles. Flowers hide their beauty beneath green leaves, blushing unseen. But the sting of death, caring nothing for their beauty and fragrance, withers them instantly with…
