Justification by Faith and Works, Jas 2:18-26
If justification is by faith then what is justification by faith and works in James 2 about? It’s about Tribulation saints. Christians often use James 2:18-26 to prove that you must do something to show that you are saved and thus justify yourself by works after salvation. They like to quote Jas 2:18-26 to show […]
Bought With A Price, 1 Cor 6:19-20
1 Cor 6:20 says that people Jesus saves are bought with a price. The price is the blood of Jesus shed on Calvary. No matter what we were before we were saved, 1 Cor 6:9-10, Jesus washes us in his blood and cleanses us from our sins. He sanctifies us to be clean for his […]
That They Might See, Ecc 3:16-21
I saw under the sun, v.16.Solomon desired that they might see: The place of judgment, that wickedness was there. The most notable case of this in the Bible is the trial of Jesus. His betrayer declared that he was innocent, Matt 27:4. The governor’s wife declared him to be just, Matt 27:19. Pilate himself declared […]
Jesus is God and Man, Matt 8:20
Jesus Christ is God and man. He is both the Son of man and the Son of God. Are these titles ambiguous and confusing, creating doubt as to his true identity? Or do these designations have enough significance to warrant the use of both of them in the Bible. Let’s see. Son of Man refers […]
Regret Over Past Sins, 1 Cor 6:9-11
How can I shake this regret over past sins? That can be rough!! Lots of Christians are plagued by regret over past sins for which they have already been forgiven.

Direction From God, Ps 37:23
When you need direction from God, the Lord will direct you, Ps 37:23, Prov 16:9, if you are willing to: Wait – God promised to give the land of Canaan to Abram’s seed when Abram was 75 years old. Gen 12:7 “unto thy seed will I give this land”. In Gen 13:15, God said, “all […]
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 […]
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 […]
He Sought to the Physicians, 2 Chr 16:12
2 Chr 16:12 says, “And Asa… was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians.” Christians must remember that, when dealing with our health and with disease, we must first and foremost turn to the Lord for help. […]
Enoch Walked With God, Gen 5:21-24
One common problem with long people straying from the Lord is that they have no personal walk with God. Well, Enoch walked with God and look how well things turned out for him. Looking at Gen 5:22-24, we notice some things about a walk with God that should be apparent in your life and in […]
