Treasure in Earthen Vessels, 2 Cor 4:7
Because we are saved, Christ is in us [Col 1:27] and we are in Christ [1 Cor 12:13]. We have Jesus Christ and eternal life in us. Thus, according to our text in 2 Cor 4:7, we have this treasure in earthen vessels. We must be reminded, then, that our lives are about the treasure […]
A Sinner’s Mind, Eph 4:17-19
I have been thinking lately, “How is it that whole societies degenerate into sexual perversion and things as horrible as baby killing?” You read about these things over and over in the Bible. 2 Ki 16:3 Ahaz made his son to pass through the fire, 2 Chr 28:3. According to 2 Ki 23:10, this was […]
Holy, Ex 3:5
The first time that the word “holy” appears in the Bible is in Ex 3:5. The place where Moses was standing was holy ground. Today we are going to study this word in some of its contexts because of its significance in our lives. The mountain of God is Holy – Ex 3:5 – that’s […]
Dealing With Opposition, Prov 25:9
The Bible gives us clear instructions on how to deal with opposition. You never know, when you first start to point out a scriptural problem, whether the individual is going to receive correction or not. So when you begin to deal with opposition, it is always helpful to know how to deal with opposition so […]
The Disciples Were Called Christians, Acts 11:26
Today it seems like everyone who is not a Muslim or a Jew or an atheist refers to himself as a Christian. It is an acceptable or even desirable title. Yet the word Christian is a Bible word, and so we ought to examine it carefully to see whether “Christian” is really the right designation […]
Always God is Faithful, 1 Cor 1:9 – Aug 30, 2026
Always “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Cor 1:9. No matter where God found you in sin, he called you unto the fellowship of his dear Son. Not only did he save us from our sins, but he desires for us to […]
Spiritual Blessings, Eph 1 – Aug 30, 2026
God hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, Eph 1:3. You must be saved to have these spiritual blessings. They are spiritual. These are: Acceptance in the beloved, Eph 1:6. The plan of God is that those “in him”, Eph 1:4, “should be holy and without blame before him […]
The Covering for Sin, Gen 3:20-24 – Aug 30, 2026
Every person who has ever lived is a descendant of Adam and Eve, since Eve is the mother of all living, v. 20, and Adam was the first man, 1 Cor 15:45. God had told Adam, “…in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die”, Gen 2:17. As a result of their sin, […]
Who Will Go? Is 6:8
In the history of the Church, God has used certain men in a big way to get his work done. He used Peter to preach to thousands. He was the apostle to the Circumcision. God used Paul to preach to thousands. He was the apostle to the Uncircumcision. In the past three centuries, God […]
Enticed, Jas 1:14
Jas 1:14 says, “every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.” Lust is a natural feature of our lives. Lust by itself is not sin or even necessarily a bad thing. Look at Deut 12:15, 20, 21 and 14:26. When lust, however, draws you away and then you […]
