In Romans 1:1-8 the Apostle Paul has emphasized the gospel of God which He gave to the Word (Who became Jesus Christ), Who gave it to His prophets and later, in person, gave it to His apostles who recorded it for us who are living in the “last days” (Acts 2:17,18/ Joel 2:28,29).  What the […]

In Romans 1:8-12 the Apostle Paul refers to “the gospel,” “the gospel of His (God’s) son,” “your faith” and “the mutual faith” which must be “established” in church members and presented to the “whole world.”  The unifying thread that ties these Truths together and ties the saint to the Lord was stated in the previous […]

If the entire Bible had to be paired down to two chapters, Romans 1 and 1 John 3 would fit the bill perfectly relative to the Lord’s prerequisites for attaining eternal life.  Within those two chapters two of His most blunt speaking apostles write in language that even a child can understand.  This series will […]

In Matthew 24 we find Jesus and His disciples departing from the Temple in Jerusalem.  His disciples drew His attention to the beauty and workmanship of the structure.  According to historical accounts, the Lord’s House was a magnificent sight to behold.  The time of their Temple visitation was just prior to Christ’s death and departure.  […]

Outside of the evening news, I watch very little television.  However, for two weeks every four years I tend to spend a little more time in front of the tube.  I love watching the Olympics, mainly because I know what it takes to get there, and once having gotten there, what it takes to win.  […]
