To be saved hear, believe, repent, confess and be baptized; then keep confessing, keep repenting, keep believing, and keep hearing to stay saved.

Luke 21:1 – Do Not Be Deceived Against Many Interpretations

| April 23, 2014

There are many warnings in the Bible not to be deceived which means: 1) we can be deceived; 2) we can therefore not be deceived. To not be deceived is to know the truth. Therefore the idea that “that’s just your interpretation” and “there are various interpretations” to justify an inability to understand is one […]

1 Chronicles 13 – Praying through the Bible #126 – A Prayer that is not a Prayer but a Complaint

| April 19, 2014

How often do we utter our utter exasperation about who we worship to any who will listen? Complaining about God is as old as Satan’s serpent. David moving the Ark of the Covenant and the sin of Uzzah is a story that is easy not to like. David doesn’t. David’s goal is good, the motive […]

Matthew 16:18 – Are there Denominations in the Bible?

| December 26, 2013

When reading God’s written word, do you see any denominations? If not, be non-denominational, not involved with denominations. If not, be un-denominational, the opposite of denominations. If not, be anti-denominational, against the concept and practice of denominations. If not, be pre-denominational, go back to the simplicity and purity of God’s written word.

Three essential truths found within the text is: 1) Authority is found within Scripture; 2) Scripture must be applied for it to have any meaning; 3) Truth can be found, understood and applied. Authority is established by four means: 1) Command – You have […]

2 Corinthians 9:7 – God Loves a Cheerful Taker

| June 16, 2013

Many churches have objections to partaking the Lord’s Supper every Sunday saying it would lose significance, yet have no problem taking up a collection and telling people “God loves a cheerful giver.” God also loves a thankful taker of His Son’s Supper.

Matthew 7:12 – Golden Rule Hermeneutics

| January 22, 2013

If you are the parent, teacher, boss or organization leader, isn’t its aggravating when you tell someone how you want and need something done, but they decide you didn’t really mean what you said so they change or ignore it? Plus, in everyday life, isn’t it frustrating when someone says you said something when you never did? I am responsible for […]

1 Peter 5:1-5 – Why Local Church Autonomy?

| December 23, 2012

Why local church autonomy? Implied within the command to elders to shepherd the flock among them is church autonomy (1 Pt 5.1-3). Add that to the silence of the scriptures and we learn God’s design that each church is autonomous, separated from other local congregations in government. This is a Biblical concept that is lost […]
