  • Irresistible Grace

    Irresistible Grace

    Stumbling blocks are those things that cause the adopted children of God to stumble into living like strangers. The children of God are exempt from the civil and ceremonial laws and belong to Him by grace alone. Strangers are bound by the Law. After revealing the truth about divine adoption, Jesus spoke a woe on…

  • What Must We Be Converted From?

    What Must We Be Converted From?

    Jesus enlightened Peter as to what it meant to be a child of God—it meant exemption from the civil and ceremonial laws in the Torah. Adopted sons are no longer strangers. Jesus got at salvation and reward by grace alone through faith alone. The purpose for the Law was not to make someone righteous but…

  • When Will There Finally Be Justice in the World? /Revelation/

    When Will There Finally Be Justice in the World? /Revelation/

    The four cherubim have presented their testimonies concerning the current condition of the world in the First Century: Jesus is conquering the world. Peace has been taken from the earth. The earth is given to consumerism. People are dying and going to Hell. As Jesus continues to break the seals on the legal document He…

  • The Four Living Creatures With Eyes All Over

    The Four Living Creatures With Eyes All Over

    God’s symbolic throne room represents His faithfulness to His own word—both His promise never to destroy the world and everything in it again (Cf. 4:1-4; Genesis 9) and His Law (Cf. 4:5; Exodus 9:16-17). Today, we will consider the Father’s holiness and worthiness. Revelation 4:6-11 …and before the throne there was something like a sea…

  • Seeking First God’s Kingdom and Righteousness

    Seeking First God’s Kingdom and Righteousness

    We have been talking for the last few weeks about what it means to judge justly. Last week, we talked about the Great Exchange—the imputation of our sin to Christ and Christ’s righteousness to His people. The text today leads us to consider patriotism—not concerning any worldly kingdom but concerning the kingdom of Heaven. Since…

  • What is The Synagogue of Satan in Revelation?

    What is The Synagogue of Satan in Revelation?

    Ask your questions on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, or using the contact form on this blog. John addresses the second particular church in this discourse—the church in Smyrna. The church in Smyrna was experiencing persecution. This address follows the format of the first, excluding any indictment. Ephesus had left her first love; Smyrna has nothing…

  • Even God’s Enemies Encounter the Holy Sprit and Confess Christ

    Even God’s Enemies Encounter the Holy Sprit and Confess Christ

    “I don’t need to go to church to worship Jesus.” I have heard this comment quite often throughout my life. I think I made this comment when I was much more immature in the faith. Biblically speaking, it’s technically a true statement. People can go into the woods, sit on a beach, go to a…

  • The Bread and Wine From Christ

    The Bread and Wine From Christ

    Good Friday is the day each year we commemorate Christ’s crucifixion. There are many questions that fill our minds during this season. One of the most prominent is, “Why did Jesus have to die?” Couldn’t God have simply forgiven sin and gotten people into Heaven if that is what He wanted to do? The Bible…

  • End-Times Views

    End-Times Views

    Our local church has been asking so many questions about end-times and the Bible it became necessary for me to teach on the end times. So, the elders and I decided the best way is for me to walk through the book of Revelation. Before we get into Chapter 1, verse 1, and begin walking…

  • What is the Unforgivable Sin?

    What is the Unforgivable Sin?

    I pastored a church, once, in a community where a homosexual man worked for a funeral home. One of the ladies in our church, the one who claimed the church was the most loving church anyone could ever find, hated this man because he was a practicing homosexual. “Don’t ever let that man do anything…
