For those seeking to understand God’s Word, this message is an indispensable building block. Mid-Acts dispensationalism is often derided as hyper-dispensationalism by those who reject it, but a sound understanding of the scriptures can only be obtained when they are truly rightly divided.

There are dichotomies in scripture. For example, God is a God that forgives sin but in no wise will clear the guilty – but we are all guilty – son how can He forgive sins? Another dichotomy is that we are made subject to vanity, but all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to…
When hard times come into your life, it is usually not the time that you can learn doctrine and become established in the faith. It is important to become established during the normal times, so that you know how to deal with the hard times. Being established in the faith is a process that begins with the gospel.

When God speaks to someone, it is in an…
Suppose Eve asked Adam what he wanted for dinner. Adam couldn’t decide, but he wanted to stay within God’s will, so he went and asked God: “What should we eat for dinner?” God’s reply was: ‘Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:…
Oftentimes folks wait until there is difficulty in their lives before they turn to God. This makes it almost impossible to have any real understanding of what God is doing and to be comforted by the scriptures. One must learn first to be established in the faith before life throws a curve ball. This study looks and how and where we turn…
There was a woman whose son went off to fight in the great war in Europe. His job in that war ended up being the most dangerous job possible: he was a message runner. He literally ran through artillery barrages with messages to those in the trenches. His mother prayed diligently for his safety constantly, knowing the danger he was in. It…
In Paul’s epistles, two churches stand out when studying the subject of practical living. One church is a prime example of how not to live, the other a shining example of how we should live. These two churches are the Corinthians and the Thessalonians. Paul tells the Thessalonians that he always remembered their “work of faith, and labour of love, and patience…
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…
