Will You Swallow Anything?
The shark is a large fish that swims in ocean waters and has an equally large appetite. In fact, so large is his appetite that he will swallow almost anything that he can get into his mouth without even knowing what it is. A small fish called the urchin fish when he...
How NOT to Convert Muslims to Christianity
On August 5, 2017, an explosive device was detonated at a suburban Minneapolis mosque as people were preparing for morning prayers. Although the windows of the imam’s office were shattered, fortunately, no one was killed or injured. Various news outlets that reported...
All Lives Matter, but Do We Understand Why?
Please read Matthew 16:24-26 carefully and contemplatively: “Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life...
What Is Meant by “Kingdom”?
Our last post concluded with these words: “’Kingdom’ sometimes refers to Christ’s rule over all creation. But the use of ‘kingdom‘ in this sense is not the only way it is used in the New Testament.” Nothing demonstrates that clearer that while the word “kingdom” is...
Are You a Plant to Be Rooted Up?
Jesus said in Matthew 15:13-14, “But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” After being...

Feelings and the Holy Spirit
Does the Holy Spirit produce feelings inside of us that guides us in some special way by giving us new information and the knowledge we are right? If so, what passage teaches it? I have to tell you, I’m a bit concerned over how I hear some talking. I’ll paraphrase the...
Calvinism #3
In the last post, we looked at total depravity and unconditional salvation. We will finish the series by an examination of the three remaining tenants. Limited Atonement. This tenet of Calvinism is necessitated by the belief that salvation is unconditional, and the...
“God Really Doesn’t Care”
As man constantly changes his view of God, he becomes more convinced that God really doesn’t care about several aspects of life. This is despite the fact that the Bible emphasizes that God does want man to be righteous. Peter declared that God waits on destroying the...
What Is the Kingdom of God?
The word “kingdom” is used by men in a variety of ways, but our interest concerns how the word is used in relationship to God. Our study will be confined to this because we have begun a study of “the kingdom of God;” a subject which was first preached by John, then...
Are Sinners Still Going to Hell?
I ask this question because, as I attend funerals and read FB posts, I listen to people talk of those who have died — who obviously died outside of Christ and living wicked lives — as now being saved and in the arms of Jesus? Really? I am no man’s judge, but the Judge...
