Following the deaths of the original apostles God turned His focus to the world’s heathen masses. Throughout their ministries a small number of Gentiles had been blessed with the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the centurion being a prime example. But by in large the ministry of the apostles, including Paul, was to […]

A Truth deliberately shunned by professing Christendom is found in Matthew 10:1-8. Here Jesus commissions His 12 Apostles by telling them not to minister to Gentiles, but to go throughout the known world, find the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel and tell them about Him and God’s coming kingdom. Throughout the first few […]

In Acts 28:23 we find the Apostle Paul on trial in Rome because the Jews rejected his message and had petitioned the Roman government to kill him for preaching it. Upon arriving in the city he called the local Jewish leaders together and told them about the Kingdom of God and the Messiah through Whom […]

One of the problems the children of Israel had to deal with was the many, perhaps most of them believed that because they had been chosen by God to be His people, they did not need to obey Him. The Lord disproved this theory following their meeting with Him at Mt. Sinai when He refused […]

I watched the Republican debate/debacle last evening and was reminded of why this nation is lying face down in the sewer. With just five words Senator Lindsey Graham summarized the reason why this God-created, once-blessed nation is destined to go down to defeat. He said: “Islam is not our enemy.” Unfortunately, he was right–the Satan-blinded […]

God’s people must live in the world. Paul said that we must have social, economic, etc. dealings with sinners outside the church. Otherwise we would have to leave the world. He warned saints not to have spiritual dealings with sinners (the worldly) within the church, rather to put them out of the church, which was […]

As a fellow professor once said, “This job would be great if I didn’t have to deal with students.” At times I’m sure we all feel that way when our fellow man seems intent on throwing our lives off kelter. At times we would like not to have to deal with others, at all, ever. […]
