  • The Antichrist and Mark of the Beast

    The Antichrist and Mark of the Beast

    In John’s third interlude, he has described a great war between Satan and everything godly. Satan tried to devour Christ and failed. Then, he tried to devour national Israel and failed. Now, he turns to persecute the church. He persecutes the church by building blasphemous nations of his own and influencing people to persecute people…

  • Against Human Religion

    Against Human Religion

    Jesus is in a conversation with the chief priests and elders who challenged his authority. He tells his second parable against them. Matthew 21:33-46 “Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard and put a wall around it and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and rented…

  • What If The Democrat and LGBTQ Enter the Kingdom Before You?

    What If The Democrat and LGBTQ Enter the Kingdom Before You?

    It is Fig Monday, and Jesus has been challenged by the chief priests and elders. They asked by what authority He did and taught the things He did. He did not tell them. Jesus now tells His critics three parables about them. Here is the first. Matthew 21:28-32 “But what do you think? A man…

  • Against Arrogance

    Against Arrogance

    Paul has been writing to admonish the local church toward maturity, which leads to unity. To this end, the church body is to regard her elders as servants of Christ set apart for their labor in the Lord, and the elders are to regard the church body as holy and worthy of their service for…

  • The Binding of Satan in Revelation

    The Binding of Satan in Revelation

    John’s third interlude, so far, has depicted the birth and reign of Christ from His incarnation. We arrive at a pericope in the discourse often interpreted as a prelapsarian spiritual war that brought Satan to the earth in order to tempt Eve. The text does not rest that way in John’s vision. For at the…

  • The Two Required Witnesses in Revelation

    The Two Required Witnesses in Revelation

    In the second interlude of his second vision, John has been asked to eat a little book—a testament of God. What was hidden in previous times, the full revelation of God, is being revealed, and John has been asked to prophesy concerning many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings (10:11). Revelation 11:1-14 Then there was given…

  • Be Careful How You Build

    Be Careful How You Build

    Paul continues to talk about his own ministry, the example he set when he served as pastor in Corinth for a-year-and-a-half. He and Apollos are God’s fellow workmen and the congregation is God’s garden (v. 9). Today, we see the importance of quality in the preaching and teaching ministry of the local church, which equips…

  • Deceiving the SS

    Deceiving the SS

    On Sunday, Jesus went into Jerusalem and tossed the tables in the outer courts of the temple. So far, on Monday, He has cursed a fig tree. Jesus is going back to the temple to continue His work. In today’s text, we see a dilemma often presented in Christian ethics. We are commanded not to…

  • Immaturity in the Church

    Immaturity in the Church

    Paul desires to build maturity that leads to unity in the Corinthian church (1:10). He determines to know nothing but Christ and Christ crucified but speaks the depth of God’s wisdom to those who are mature (1-2). Paul believes the Corinthian church is in Christ (1:4-9), He also recognizes that her puffed-up knowledge leads to…

  • Cursed Trees and Cast Mountains

    Cursed Trees and Cast Mountains

    On Sunday, Jesus went into Jerusalem and cleansed the temple—tossing the tables of those who sold sacrifices and changed money, making the temple a market rather than a house of prayer for all nations. He spent the night in Bethany and now, Monday, travels back to Jerusalem. Matthew 21:18-22 Now in the morning, when He…
