James 4:1-6 first ask in verse 1, “Were do wars and fights come from among you?” Then the answer is given as a question, “Do they come from your desires (satanic lust) for pleasure that war in your members?” The answer continues in verses 2-6, 2 You lust and do not have. You murder and […]
God, in Exodus 15:26, tells the Israelites, through Moses, He is their (and our) Healer; however, healing is not automatic, for they (and us) must be attentive to His voice, understand His instructions, obey all His commandments and laws; thus, when they did all God required; then what God used to discipline Egypt, would not […]
Faith comes from Jesus, the resurrected Christ (Hebrews 12:2); and God’s word (Romans 10:17; Galatians 3:1-9), so faith can be felt, just as anger, fear, hate, love, and peace can be felt; thus, we always know what we say is what we really believe (2 Corinthians 4:13, a partial quote from Psalm 116:10), and then […]
The noun “eschatology” comes from the Greek word “eschatos”, meaning “last or farthest”; thus, eschatology is a branch of theology (study of God), concerning the world’s and humanity’s final events. Early Israelites saw “the King of Glory” coming to establish His kingdom, but they did not see their King as Bethlehem’s Baby, or Calvary’s sin-sacrifice, […]
When reading 2 Thessalonians 2, where the Holy Spirit, through the Apostle Paul, tells us three things must happen before Christians—legal members of Christ’s body, the worldwide church— are caught up into the clouds at Christ Jesus’ coming for His body-bride-church, and these three things that appear to be happening now, are fully explained in […]
Luke 8:4-15, is where Jesus explains “the kingdom of God”, as God’s word going out to four different types of soil or our different stages of Christian growth; from a defiant, hard, stubborn mentality, rocky or less hard and stubborn, thorny or a gentle rose with a few thorns, on to good or to a […]
The noun “hermeneutics”, comes from the Greek word “hermeneuo”, meaning to interpret, explain, or translate; thus, “hermeneutics” is NOT interpreting or explaining the Bible, but rather “the study of the method or principles of interpreting God’s word, the Bible, the Scriptures”. The noun “method” means “a systematic plan followed in presenting material for instruction”, and […]
Facebook post 258 (Send Saturday September 17, 2022) First John 5:14-17 assures us God hears us when we petition Him in prayers of faith working through love (Galatians 5:6), for some lost person, whose sins are not leading to death, as are those listed in James 1:12-18 and 1 John 5:16-17. 1 John 5:14-17—14 Now […]
There are two eternal factual truths Christians live by: 2 Corinthians 4:17, “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,” and 2 Corinthians 5:6-7, “So we are always confident, knowing while we are at home in the body we are […]
The Apostle Paul, in 1 Timothy 1, introduces himself, explains to whom the law is intended, explains the faithful forgiveness of grace, and how to in Christ Jesus, fight the good fight of faith, with confident expectation God rewards faith that pleases Him (Hebrews 11:5-6). Then, in chapter 2:1-4 Paul, with godly emotional urgency, pleads […]
In reading 2 Samuel 22:29-34, we get a partial understanding of who God is to us: God is our light in darkness, our quick mobility, He makes our way perfect, His word is proven true, a shield to all who trust Him, He is the Only God, a solid rock of stability, our strength and […]
Wow, 1 Corinthians 10:11-14 is super powerful, warning us what happened to Israel in earlier bible times is written for our examples, for God makes a way of escape from every temptation, but when we refuse His escape plan, the temptation becomes our controlling god-idol. Likewise James 1:12-18 assures us we willingly yield to the […]
