  If you asked me what trespass by children towards their parents is worse than all others, I would answer “dishonesty”. It’s another way of saying Hazel and I valued truthfulness. Years ago, a brother challenged me on that assertion. I… Read More ›

• THAT MOMENT WHEN YOU FIGURE OUT THE SADDUCEES ARE NO MATCH FOR JESUS!

  By disciplerami on April 17, 2015 • ( 0 )

  The Sadducees didn’t believe in life after death. Luke records that they didn’t believe in angels or a spirit. So they thought they would trap Jesus, who they must have figured out taught life after death, by offering up an… Read More ›

• DOES YOUR GOSPEL SAVE: IF IT DOESN’T SAVE, THEN IT ISN’T THE TRUE GOSPEL

  By disciplerami on April 16, 2015 • ( 0 )

  I have heard people try to minimize what is the Gospel – a “core Gospel” if you will – to distinguish it from the response to the Gospel. I gather that the purpose of this effort to narrowly define the… Read More ›

  Paul said to the Galatians, “26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For all of you who werebaptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.” Galatians 3:26,27 How does “baptized into Christ” in Galatians 3:27… Read More ›

• WHAT IS MY PURPOSE? SERIOUSLY, WHY AM I HERE?

  Why are you here? Why are we breathing air? What does our life mean if it is not to know God and honor and worship Him? Is our mission here nothing more than to take up space and fill up… Read More ›

  Baptism is commanded by Jesus in Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16 and was commanded in Acts 2:38-41 so that about 3,000 were baptized on Pentecost. Those who do not understand the Scriptures nor the power of God, will say salvation is… Read More ›

  It’s important that our hearts are focused on God and not self. Worship of God becomes worship of self when we worship how we please. That’s why God said we must worship Him in spirit AND truth, Jn 4:24. Jesus… Read More ›

  PSALLO: WORD MEANINGS CHANGE. It’s called ‘etymology’, the study of how word meanings change over time.  “Bad” is good, “gay” means homosexual, and “psallo” became to mean sing. Stick with me on this. Think of the word “lyric”. Lyrics are the… Read More ›
