In Luke 13:1-9, Jesus uses Pontius Pilate’s murdering some Galileans while they sacrificed to God, mingling their blood with the blood of their sacrifices, and the eighteen killed when the tower in Siloam fell on them, to reveal the sins of those who died were not greater than the sins of those telling Him about […]
Facebook post 286 (Send Saturday December 24, 2022) When reading Ephesians 1:3-14, we visualize God alone in His darkest tomorrow, and since from Revelation 1:11, we hear Him say, “I am the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last”, then He knew every detail of everything in the universe He spoke into existence, including […]
Facebook post 287 (Sent Tuesday December 27, 2022) Often as troubles, trials, and persecutions overwhelms us, we wonder why our knowing, faithful, caring, heavenly Father allows us to suffer so long, before He comes to our rescue, until He opens our spiritual eyes, so we understand 2 Corinthians 1:3-7. He does this for us to […]
Facebook post 285 (Send Tuesday December 20, 2022) Ephesians 1:3-14 is God, through the Apostle Paul, revealing to Christians, members of Christ’s body, the church, how when God stood alone in His darkest tomorrow, He saw everything from that moment through eternity; therefore, it has already been revealed to us God already knew the time, […]
Romans 16:1-16 is the Apostle Paul’s “heart-felt greetings” to those in the church at Rome, who probably had been in Paul’s “revivals” at the many churches he founded, because Paul had never been to Rome, yet he was sending this very special epistle (formal letter) to them, by Phoebe, a “servant” or “female deacon” that […]
Romans 15:1-6 commands mature Christians, strong in faith and trust, to help carry or become a burden-bearer to those Christians who struggle with the false belief the battle for their delivered addictions that keeps tempting them, is their battle and not God’s battle (2 Chronicles 20:14-5). Mature Christians have learned to turn everything over to […]
Romans 14:1-13 is the Apostle Paul using the Old Testament (OT) law and New Testament (NT) grace to illustrate, for those who believe they must eat vegetables and those who believe they can eat vegetables, meat, fruits, etc. as well, but neither group has the authority or power to criticize or judge the eating choices […]
In Romans 12, our Lord illustrated the power of His awesome faith, so we can “believe to receive”, but in Romans 13, our Lord, shows how His awesome, powerful faith makes us willing to “submit to governmental authority”, when their authority submits to God’s authority; otherwise, we are commanded to love and pray for them, […]
Romans 12:1-2 is the Apostle Paul revealing God expects Christians to “present our bodies—our entire self: spirit, soul, and body—to Him, so we can live in agreement with the “measure of faith” He gives us through Christ Jesus, by the Holy Spirit; thus, we will examine Romans 12 in a very different “work of faith”, […]
Romans 10:1-13 is the Apostle Paul explaining although Israel needs the truth about Christ Jesus, to be saved; Israel had a zeal (fervent mind) for God, but it was not in agreement with scriptural knowledge, because Israel was ignorant of (does not understand) God’s righteousness (full of being right with God by faith in Christ […]
In Romans 9:1-5 the Apostle Paul grieves over Israel’s rejection of the crucified Jesus as Israel’s Messiah, and is now the resurrected Christ, for Paul would be accursed for his fellow Israelites if it would change them; Israel had God’s promises, the adoption, the law, and who in agreement with the flesh, has the Messiah […]
