Matthew 22:37-40 – The Paradox of Love

| February 15, 2010

Two doctors walk into a room, giving different diagnoses, then walk out of the room.  Confused and frustrated, the patient turns to the nurse and says, “Do they always contradict each other?”  The nurse replies, “No, they are just a… paradox.” Jesus, the Great Physician, never contradicted Himself, but He was a paradox – the […]

Isaiah 55 – Living Like We Believe God’s Promises

| February 15, 2010

There is not a single promise that God has made.  We sometimes live as if there were promises that God has made.  But let me reiterate and emphasize again that God has made no promises at all to us and we better start living like we believe it! Confused?  Upset?  Disagree? Well then, let me […]

Galatians 5:20 – Why Is Idolatry a Work of the Flesh?

| February 6, 2010

A.        Because Idolatry is a Fleshly Worship 1.         John 4:24 NASB  “God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” 2.         I want us to consider for the moment that the Old Testament Worship that the Israelites were commanded to observe, all of the fleshly worship, was never how God […]

Isaiah 53 – Jesus is the Suffering Servant

| September 17, 2009

53:1ff – Twelve Points Showing Jesus is the Servant (Explore the Book, J. Sidlow Baxter) He comes in utter lowliness – a root out of a dry ground He is despised and rejected of men He suffered for the sins and in the place of others – He was wounded for our transgressions It was […]

Isaiah 10:28-32 – Forgotten But Not Forgotten

| September 15, 2009

Don’t try to pronounce these places – Aiath, Migron, Michmash, Gallim, Laishah, Anathoth, Madmenah, and others.  Not only are the pronunciations forgotten, so are these places.  In fact, they are so forgotten that not a single name is recognized by my spellchecker!  History has forgotten…though inspiration has not – Isaiah 10.  People and places are […]

Isaiah 10:15 – Talking Tools

| September 15, 2009

Not once, not even a little bit, have my tools burst out bragging. Yes, there are different levels of tools, but even the best tool in the wrong hand is inferior to the worst tool in a skilled hand. The heart of the king of Assyria was arrogant and haughty.  He said, “By the power […]
