Jesus is God and Man, Matt 8:20
Jesus Christ is God and man. He is both the Son of man and the Son of God. Are these titles ambiguous and confusing, creating doubt as to his true identity? Or do these designations have enough significance to warrant the use of both of them in the Bible. Let’s see. Son of Man refers […]
He Sought to the Physicians, 2 Chr 16:12
2 Chr 16:12 says, “And Asa… was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians.” Christians must remember that, when dealing with our health and with disease, we must first and foremost turn to the Lord for help. […]
A Good Church
What should I look for in a good church? To organize the answer to this question practically, we have divided the answer into several sub-questions that you can ask concerning any church you visit or attend. These questions and answers are not intended to be divisive. Rather, they are intended to sincerely answer how you […]
Rebuild Your Wall, Neh 1:6
When you have no rule over your own spirit, you are like a city that is broken down and without walls [Prov 25:28]. You must rebuild your wall. Many of us have seen our lives like a broken down city and one without walls. Everything and anything gets to us. Our lives just become a […]
Regret Over Past Sins, 1 Cor 6:9-11
How can I shake this regret over past sins? That can be rough!! Lots of Christians are plagued by regret over past sins for which they have already been forgiven. They have committed certain sins that have a lingering effect on the mind and body. The regret over past sins seems to never leave. Paul […]
Treasure in Earthen Vessels, 2 Cor 4:7
Because we are saved, Christ is in us [Col 1:27] and we are in Christ [1 Cor 12:13]. We have Jesus Christ and eternal life in us. Thus, according to our text in 2 Cor 4:7, we have this treasure in earthen vessels. We must be reminded, then, that our lives are about the treasure […]
A Sinner’s Mind, Eph 4:17-19
I have been thinking lately, “How is it that whole societies degenerate into sexual perversion and things as horrible as baby killing?” You read about these things over and over in the Bible. 2 Ki 16:3 Ahaz made his son to pass through the fire, 2 Chr 28:3. According to 2 Ki 23:10, this was […]
Holy, Ex 3:5
The first time that the word “holy” appears in the Bible is in Ex 3:5. The place where Moses was standing was holy ground. Today we are going to study this word in some of its contexts because of its significance in our lives. The mountain of God is Holy – Ex 3:5 – that’s […]
Dealing With Opposition, Prov 25:9
The Bible gives us clear instructions on how to deal with opposition. You never know, when you first start to point out a scriptural problem, whether the individual is going to receive correction or not. So when you begin to deal with opposition, it is always helpful to know how to deal with opposition so […]
The Disciples Were Called Christians, Acts 11:26
Today it seems like everyone who is not a Muslim or a Jew or an atheist refers to himself as a Christian. It is an acceptable or even desirable title. Yet the word Christian is a Bible word, and so we ought to examine it carefully to see whether “Christian” is really the right designation […]
