Unconditional Election, Is 42:1
As taught by Calvinism, Unconditional Election is the doctrine that says God chose from before the foundation of the world whom he would save and whom he would damn, regardless of whether they want to be saved or not. However, by studying the scriptures, we will find that election is never unto salvation. TULIP is […]
Total Depravity, Gen 6:5
Total Depravity is the doctrine that teaches that man is born with a nature that is alienated from God and is in rebellion against God. The total man is depraved and he will, therefore, never seek God or choose Jesus Christ, by his own free will, in order to be saved. Hence, he must be […]
Rejoicing in Hope, Rom 12:12
In Rom 12:12 Paul said that we should be rejoicing in hope. When you lose hope, you will sink in despair. So, today we will see where you find hope so that you can be rejoicing in hope and not wallowing in despair. You will be rejoicing when you find the: Hope that is in […]
A Baby or a Blob, Is 49:1
The question after conception and before birth is whether your child is a baby or a blob. The Bible says it’s a baby. When a woman is pregnant, the Bible says and we say, she is a “woman with child,” [Ex 21:22]. We don’t say that she is a woman with “blob.” When Rebekah conceived, […]
The Work of the Spirit, Jn 7:39
I heard a sermon preached at a conference distinguishing the work of the Spirit from our work. The gist of the message is that we need to recognize the Spirit’s responsibilities and our own responsibilities. The Spirit doesn’t do all of the work, but then neither do we. Here is the outline of that sermon […]
No Changes, Ps 55:19
Ps 55:19 says, “Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.” The fear of God is one of the most essential things in the Bible. Solomon said that to fear God and keep his commandments is the whole duty of man [Ecc 12:13]. Yet, Paul said that the trouble with men, in general, […]
How Long, Ps 13:1-2
Four times in Ps 13:1-2 David asks the Lord, How long. His questions remind us that we often grow impatient with the Lord. David was wondering how long the Lord would forget him, how long he would hide from him, how long he would continually sorrow, how long his enemy would be exalted over him. […]
Are You Idolatrous? Is 48:11
The Lord God said, I will not give my glory unto another. He said this in the midst of a passage dealing with the vanity and foolishness of idolatry. There are many “professing” Christians today who are idolatrous and don’t even realize it. So, in this broadcast, we are going to expose their idolatry in […]
Giving Thanks Always for All Things, Eph 5:20
Eph 5:20 tells us that we should be giving thanks always for all things. There are so many things about which to be thankful, it is impossible to name them all here. And we should be thankful always for them. Here are a few. We should be giving thanks always for: Our salvation – our […]
Be Spirit-filled
Being Spirit-filled is another necessary quality of those whom God chooses to help in the ministry of local churches. In Ex 28:3 “All that are wise hearted whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom”. These are the men and women who made all of things for the tabernacle. In Ex 31:2-6 God filled […]
