When reading the book of Revelation, it needs to be “seen” before being studied.

John prepares us for this by saying the whole vision was to [...]

There are only two covenants in contrast to the many covenants when contextually the topic is one replacing the other. The Noahaic covenant (Gen.6) was not replaced by the “New Covenant” (Heb.8), and therefore would not be considered ‘the first covenant” although it came first temporally. The language would be comparable to the second coming (Heb.9) not contextually related to the [...]

When I was a young man, I wanted to begin a relationship with a certain young woman. And although she did not know me, I went knocking on her door and said, “I love you.” Well, that didn’t work. She slammed the door in my face. Relationships can be so confusing. Time for a new [...]

Linguisticly American-English absorbed and continues to absorb words from a variety of languages, melting them into an American alphabet soup. American-English is not a pure [...]

To “break bread” with someone, whether in a common meal at a home, or as the Lord’s Supper in church, [...]

Prison – not a pleasant subject, but nevertheless still a former or current reality for some believers. Others – never imprisoned – should have been, but escaped their proper penalty due to either God’s gracious attention or man’s negligent inattention.

If disturbing but true, biblically based, analogies distress you, do not read this article. Now that I’ve said that…my guess is that EVERYONE will read it! All of us have seen it done. None of us will actually directly do it to ourselves, although most of us will have it planned to be done to [...]
