  • Taught by demons?

    Paul starts off the 4th chapter of Timothy with a very interesting statement. Talking of later times (in which we are currently living, in my opinion) he says that some will abandon the faith and follow…

  • Get a Job

    I run across so many college age kids that are heavily involved in campus ministries, church, etc. yet they have very little direction or plan as far as work goes. They of course mask this with "I'm waiting…

  • Don't Be Caught Naked

    I love the way Paul uses the phrase "clothe yourselves" to describe the way we should have these attributes. What do clothes do? They cover us. Our clothes are what people see when they see us. In the…

  • What to pray for.

    People will often bring up the question "what are we supposed to pray for and what are we not supposed to pray for?". It's interesting that Paul (Ep. 6:18) encourages us to offer up prayers of "all kinds"…

  • the time is set

    "when the set time had fully come...". Interesting that in the greatest of events (Jesus coming to earth as a man) God had a time already set for this to happen. Think of the israelites waiting and waiting…

    This verse reminds me of John Rosemond's book "Parenting by the book". He talks about self-esteem being the opposite of humility and self respect, and how this huge movement in our culture towards self…

  • Christ died for nothing.

    If there was any other way to be justified, Christ died for nothing. The Law cannot do it, neither the Jewish law nor the Islamic law nor any other law. The grace of God is it. The only way we are cleared.…
