Rev 6-11 The Apostle John wrote the gift God has for those who will bow the knee is eternal life. However, in this chapter, we find that just as during the time of Jesus, men rejected what they could see with their eyes, so too men in the last stages of the clock of time, […]
1 Peter 1-5 Salvation is our greatest giftChristmas is almost upon us, and with it, the spending spree! Americans are no longer satisfied with just an orange and a new pair of socks. No! We want the biggest and the best gift we can find, whether within our budget or not. How different our Christmas […]
Paul left his protégé Timothy in Ephesus to teach sound doctrine because he was proven reliable, trustworthy, and loyal. Paul calls him his “true child in the faith.” How about us? Would Paul say the same about us? As we bid farewell to 2023, we should be thinking about our goals for 2024. Paul wrote […]
Ephesians 1-6 As Paul sat in prison, he had much time to ponder not only his own conversion but the conversion of his precious Ephesian church. Paul began by reminding them that they, like all believers, have been chosen from the foundation of the world. Stop and think about that and wonder: as God was […]
In Acts 28, we find that God may have allowed the loss of the cargo, but He preserved the precious souls just as Paul had said to those accompanying him: “Do not be afraid, Paul! God has graciously granted you the safety of all who are sailing with you.” On the island of Malta, Paul […]
Acts 26 King Agrippa has passed from our scene in history. He rose and ruled Israel, but just like us all, he died and is in eternity. Where is he today? Is he standing before God, hearing words all of us should fear? “I never knew you.” He is the example of everyone who denies […]

Yet, even in their sorrow, they were encouraged that although they would remain in Ephesus and Paul would be “on the go” once again, the ministry would go forward, and the book of Revelation reveals to us how that […]
Romans 4: “What About Him?”How often are we like Peter, asked the Lord, “What about him , meaning John?” Paul anticipated that question from the Jews regarding salvation for the Gentiles. What about them? Since they did not have the Law, how could they be righteous? “Paul has devoted the first three chapters to prove […]
2Cor 6 As we learned in 1 Cor 1, the Corinthians were divided, but Paul reminds them they are fellow workers with him in the ministry. They “ARE” anointed by the Holy Spirit; they “ARE” sons of light [1Thess 5:5]. They “ARE” saints of God’s household [Eph 2:19]; they “ARE” complete in him [Col 2:10]; […]
2Cor 1-4 In Chapter 1, we learned to be steadfastly confident in God’s comfort. In Chapter 2, we learned that we have the power to forgive unconditionally. In chapter 3, we see that only through the indwelling Holy Spirit can we comfort others and forgive unconditionally. It is only through His power that these can […]
