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).
Common Arguments against God, Salvation, and Biblical Truth The “I want nothing to do with organized religion” argument is based on the rules and corruption of human-created religion. This argument is valid. God Himself stands apart from organized religion. Religion is many things, and they all involve humans making life difficult for other humans by imposing man-made, empty ritual and…
The Breath of God The Word of God was literally “breathed” into the writers of scripture by God the Holy Spirit. This breath is the same breath that God breathes into every human being at physical birth. His breath gives life to all creation, including His living Word—the Bible (The original Greek translated as living is literally alive) Hebrews 4:12….
Scientific Laws and the Universe The continuation of the universe and the earth all depend upon the omnipotence and immutability of Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:17, Hebrews 1:3). “Scientific laws” is a misnomer. They are “Divine laws.” Science can observe and classify. Only God can guarantee the continuation of these laws. The universe will not always exist as it does at…
Points to Ponder The following is a theological presentation of Biblical knowledge manifested in Scripture and developed here for thought processes of the individual reader as guided by the Holy Spirit; ponder and reflect upon them, one by one. Any extension of Scripture revelation is an infinite undertaking. There is progress in doctrinal knowledge, but there is no increase in…
Religion or Relationship Someone once wisely said: “I left the rituals of religion for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.” Authentic Christianity is not a religion—religion is ritual without reality. Christianity is a personal relationship with the only living God, through faith in Christ Jesus (John 14:6; Acts 4:12). Read Christ’s harsh words of condemnation regarding religion and religious people…
God’s Uniquely-Born Son “Uniquely-born” Son is a more accurate translation from the original, and more accurate, than “only begotten” or “one and only.” To begin our lesson, we will address one important question: How is it that we are ‘born sinful?’ Well, we are born as a duplicate of Adam as he was, spiritually, after the fall. We share his…

Intrinsic Knowledge/Intrinsic Desire INTRINSIC KNOWLEDGE “Because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made” (Romans 1:19b-20). “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by…
The Seven Glories of Christ Except the book of John, chapter 1 specifically, and the book of Hebrews chapters 1-3, nowhere in all of Scripture is the uniqueness of the Glory and Divinity of the person of Christ so compactly presented. Open your Study Bible to the first chapter of Hebrews. Notice the first word in Hebrews chapter one is…
“I Am that I Am” Jehovah Elohim (Lord God) emphatically declared His Deity and authority when he proclaimed “I am that I am” (Exodus 3:14). Then Messiah (Jesus the Christ, the Son of God), in the Gospel of John and in Revelation, declared the same essence of Deity. “I AM the Bread of Life” (John 6:35). “I AM the Light…
The Sin Nature Arrogance of the Species We humans sin because we can. We sin because we have the knowledge of good and evil. We sin because we have volition (freedom to choose). We sin because we have the Adamic (Adam’s) Nature—the sin nature; the “old man” of Ephesians 4:22; the “flesh” of Romans 8:3,4; the principle of “sin” of…
Socialism – 102 Socialism is the human attempt to provide a utopian economy with political, social, and environmental “perfection.” But only Jesus Christ will accomplish a perfect environment at His Second Coming. If a free society is to remain free, there must be a strong military to protect the freedom of human volition. Therefore, every citizen must know and understand…
Ministries of the Holy Spirit Five ministries of the Holy Spirit, which occur immediately at the point of salvation*: The Baptism of the Spirit places the believer into UNION with Christ, making each Church Age believer a member of the Body of Christ, the Church, the royal family of God (1 Corinthians 12:13; 1 Peter 2:9). The Indwelling of the Spirit…
Socialism – 101 Socialism is a human attempt to provide a utopian economy. Socialism reduces people to the lowest common denominator. Socialism is a human philosophy designed to gain power for a few “enlightened elite” based upon class warfare, jealousy, envy, greed, laziness – by monetary seduction, and equality/equity. Remedies for equality simply create more inequalities. Socialistic ideology advocates equal…
Armageddon: Recommended Reading Always remember that all battles are the Lord’s. At the Second Advent (Christ’s return), Jesus Christ will destroy the forces of Satan. God Himself will save His chosen people from total annihilation. Current events unfolding from the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the conflict in Israel, could signal satanic movements toward fulfilling possible end-time prophecy, eventually leading…
Victory Over Death Victory Over Death, or Victory Over the Fear of Death The Apostle Paul expressed well both the life of the believer, and the physical death of the believer in Philippians 1:21: “For me, to live is Christ and to die (physically) is gain.” Paul’s life, after he was converted by Christ Himself on the road to Damascus,…
The Fall of Lucifer Introduction to the Prehistoric Past and the Fall of Lucifer (Satan) Most of the world lives unaware of the very real and very intense angelic warfare happening all around them, yet suffering, aggression, corruption, and evil explode throughout the earth, as a result of this invisible warfare. There is a very real spiritual battle in the…
Apostasy in the Last Days Apostasy is defined as “One who has fallen away from the consistent, daily intake of God’s Word.” In times of apostasy, society turns its back on God and in so doing, depends more and more on government. As a result, the government becomes too big and too powerful. The more society depends on the government,…
The Mysteries of Omnipotence The LORD demonstrates His power in the winds, the whirlwinds and the storms. At the LORD’S command the rivers rise and the rivers dry up. The lush green forests wilt, and the pastures wither. The mountains tremble, and the hills melt. The earth quakes, nations rise and fall. The earth turns, life endures. Thank you LORD…
