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).
Want to worry less? Pray more. Rather than look around you for answers, look up. Rather than look for someone else to blame, look inward. Inhale God’s Word every day… and watch worry go away. Rather than living in denial, make a study of you. If a believer stays in Christ and in Truth and another doesn’t, which one has…
If moral choices remain relative (no right, no wrong), we will witness the death of reason, the loss of shame, and the loss of our ability to define meaning. Without absolutes, there is no shame, no meaning, no authority, no truth – reason itself will have lost meaning. Remove God, who is the absolute meaning of Truth, and there is…
CHRISTIAN INTELLECTUAL STIMULATION Look around you. It is evident everywhere. Humanity is in a “frantic search for happiness.” The pleasures people seek are physical, and physical pleasures are always short-lived, futile, and often have future consequences, which are many times more harmful than the enjoyment they first brought. Self-control, prudence, and recognition are prerequisites to finding true inner-happiness, not fleeting…
People spend much time pursuing ambition, material possessions, and lusts of the flesh and of the sin nature, when infinite peace and joy are available to them every day. People allow peer pressure in the work place, social groups, and other relationships to keep them distracted and competing for temporary happiness and material possessions. Inordinate ambition and materialism are a…
MAN IS THE RECIPIENT AND BENEFICIARY OF GRACE BECAUSE OF CHRIST Second only to the Doctrine of the Deity of Christ, the most important study we will ever undertake is the Doctrine of Grace – God’s graciousness. We cannot even begin to know our Great God and Savior until we metabolize His grace. The word grace in the Greek is…
IN SEARCH OF WISDOM Man searcheth, but where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? Few knoweth its place nor its price, for it is priceless and its place is not where men look. WISDOM COMETH BY FAITH Wisdom never rests, though she may indeed forever, or for a time, withhold her knowledge in the hidden…
In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God; He heard my voice out of His Temple, and my cry came before him, even into His ears (Psalm 18:6) And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly, yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind (Psalm 18:10). The heavens declare the glory of…
WORDS OF WISDOM WITH QUOTES FROM THE WORD OF GOD He who is devoid of God’s power to forgive is devoid of God’s power to love. If we cannot forgive, how can we expect God to forgive us? If we say we have not sinned, then the truth is not in us and we speak against ourselves. If we expect…
Commitment and faithfulness are moral virtues which help bind families together. The moral dimension in America has disintegrated to a serious moral disorder. Sex dominates the media, especially TV. To avoid the immoral sexual bombardment, my wife and I mainly watch sports (and even then only a few select games and teams, minus commercials because they too exploit sex), history,…
I pray this study of the eternal state will increase your faith, humble your heart, and nourish your soul… for Christ and in Christ, Amen. What happens to the believer after death? Will we be married in Heaven? Will we still be a family in heaven? Just as life begins at physical birth for each of us here on earth,…
It is extremely important that we understand the uniqueness of our Lord. He is our Savior. Who could ask for anything more? But God, without asking anything more, gave us so much more in the unique person of His Son, even when we were not alive to earn it or to ask for it. The grace of God is freely…
In the physicalworld, survival depends on the spiritual. Don’t ask what’s wrong with American morals, ethics, and responsibility. Ask where is the spiritual discernment in each American. America is in a battle for survival, a battle of principle against principle – principle against principalities. Christians must remain true to Christ and true to the calling in Christ – take their…
Why is the word “Gospel” offensive to people? Because the Gospel gives all the credit to Christ’s finished work on the Cross and thereby gives all the glory to God through His Son. Humanity cannot stand not getting any of the credit because each individual must abandon the concepts of human merit and human ego, and trust the death, burial,…
DISAGREEMENT – TOLERANCE – JUDGMENT If disagreement did not exist, then tolerance would be unnecessary. Real differences exist between real people, therefore tolerance is a necessity to co-existence. Dialogue between persons of differing viewpoints requires respect, not agreement. Tolerance is best defined as we agree to disagree, with respect. The understanding by both parties that two differing views cannot be…
The tangled false self (embraced by most of us) struggles subconsciously with a myriad of mental issues. Perhaps from childhood struggles of pain, lack of affirmation, fears, anxieties, embarrassments, failure (real or imagined). The way we deal with the problem details of our thinking-reactions determines our lifestyle. What empties or fills our thinking-reactions may be true, imagined, or emotional. The…
Genesis 1:1 through 2:8 is like a target with concentric lines leading to a bullseye; a beginning point between man and God; a place where truth becomes reality and reality becomes false. God’s Plan centers around Christ, the Personification of Truth. Each facet of Scripture is designed as a directive, pointing to the bullseye – Christ. Humanity has a sin…
Webmaster’s Note: A deeper understanding of both God and the Living Word comes not only from accurate Bible study materials and proper instruction, but also from you. When you take your time, meditate upon key points, and look up given verses for yourself, in your very own Bible, your walk with the Lord takes on a whole new meaning. We…
“Jesus Christ bore our sins (yours personally) in His body on the cross” (1 Peter 2:24a). “For Christ has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but (made alive) by the spirit” (Peter 3:18). Christ died for you. He died in your place to…
If you do not believe in Eternal Security, you are legalizing the Grace of God and that… is “illegal.” Just as you cannot work for salvation, you cannot work to keep yourself saved (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans Chapter 8; Romans 11:5-6,33,36). God saved us through Christ and God keeps us saved through the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:35-39). Notice I said God…
