As noted in part one of this series, Jesus proclaimed that not every one who calls Him “Lord” will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven (His true church), nor will they, upon His second coming, enter into the Kingdom of God which He will create following His return. He speaks about these people in chapter […]

Fact: Everything written in the Holy Bible was written and preserved for thousands of years in order to teach people from Adam to the beginning of eternity the one and only way of the Lord which must be obeyed in order to spend eternity with Him and His Son. In Matthew 15:6-9 we find Jesus […]

In this posting we are delving into a subject that has been a point of contention for many years within religious circles. The basic problem is that people tend to equate the Kingdom of God with the Kingdom of Heaven, that they are one and the same. However, following the study method commanded by the […]

Beginning in Matthew 5:1 we find Jesus speaking to His disciples while “great multitudeS” (plural) of people (4:25) listened to what He was saying to them. Think about that for a moment: Jesus is speaking to 12 men gathered around Him. How did the “great multitudes” (plural) hear Him? And did they all speak and […]

In the series titled The Process of Salvation I tell the reader that just about everything he has been told about salvation is either partially or totally wrong, that he is not what he believes himself to be and that he and the non-churched people around him all fall into the same spiritual category which […]

Beginning with Romans 7:5 we will examine the message of the Pharisee named Saul of Tarsus relative to his spiritual journey from being the infamous murderer of Christians to the Apostle Paul who spent much time with the risen Lord learning how to serve him.

As promised in part one, we will be looking at the Apostle Paul’s problems which, like everyone else who comes to the Lord, made his initial time with the Lord a “tough row to hoe” as we used to say in cotton country. Having hoed hundreds of cotton rows, some of them pretty tough, I […]

When I was in my preteen years I had a horse–a tall, 2000-pound filly composed of pure muscle. Being small for my age, and not having a saddle, I had to lead her to a gate, climb the gate and, from that perch, jump onto her back. The strange thing about all of that was […]

In Romans 1:18 Paul addresses those–both anciently and today–who know God’s Truth (Word-Jn. 17:17) but suppress it by not doing what the Lord commands us to do. He warns us that the wrath of God will descend from heaven on those who choose to obey Satan instead of their Creator. Paul points out that failing […]

The Apostle Paul received His Gospel directly from Jesus Christ through revelation (Gal. 1:12). Because of his direct, face-to-face contact with the risen Lord (1 Cor. 9:1), God used him to write much of the New Testament (Covenant). One of the subjects Paul wrote about concerned counterfeit Jews. As this teaching will reveal, Paul used […]
