When Paul addresses Timothy in his final letter, he tells him to be strong and of good courage, and to be faithful. His mission was to teach men who could teach others. What Timothy and Titus were to teach others was the sound words that they had heard of Paul, and what they had heard of Paul among many witnesses. As Paul…
Looking to the scripture to learn how to live a righteous life, we find the answer throughout: “The just shall live by faith.” In Philippians 2, Paul tells us: “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” Jesus Christ lived the perfect life by having complete faith in the Father. We learn to live the life of Christ…
What was the good thing that was committed to Timothy? Timothy and Titus are given the task of continuing the work that Paul began. Titus seemed to be more bold and assured. Timothy seemed to be a bit timid and frail. Timothy was told to stir up the gift that was given him and hold fast the good thing that was committed…
When Christians talk about God intervening in the details of their lives, that idea is seldom taken more than skin deep. If God is controlling all events, or just certain events, one must take the consequences of those actions to their logical conclusion. The events of 9/11/2001 demonstrate the absurdity of thinking God is controlling the events in our lives. Why did…
Who was Jesus Christ? A created God? A great man and prophet? Jesus Christ was in fact the Jehovah of the Old Testament. He was God incarnated as man. Comparing passages from the Old Testament to ones in the new bears this out and shows that Jesus Christ was an equal part of the Godhead. https://www.youtube.com/@GraceAliveMinistries
Henceforth is a time word. When rightly dividing God’s Word, understanding ‘henceforth’ can be helpful in discerning God’s earthly and heavenly divisions. It can also be important in knowing what is being spoken of and the time frame of the subject. When Christ is speaking, we see if it is Christ after the flesh or the glorified Christ, and which should be…
Paul tells us that we are crucified with Christ, nevertheless we live. How is it that we can live in death. Fortunately, he equips us with the tools to do this outside of the law. In 2 Corinthians 4:18 we are told to look at things which are not seen. This is how we defeat the lust of the eyes. So being…
When one reads an average gospel tract, often the message of salvation can be found in it, but getting to it can be confusing. Often verses like John 3:16, Romans 10: 9-10, I John 1: 9 and many other verses are completely taken out of their context and have Pauline truth added to them. Although this may sometimes be effective in leading…
Many in public life are declaring that the near miss assassination attempt on Donald Trump’s life was a miracle. Trump himself said that God caused him to turn his head at just that moment. But was the miss God’s will? Was the attempt God’s will? From scripture we know that God’s will is an objective standard. It is not subject to the…
All sin comes down to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life. These three things are what is of the world and is the cause of all sin. These three things again correspond to the doctrines found in Romans 6-8. Being dead to the flesh corresponds to the lust of the flesh. The lust…
