    A Servant to All

    “For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward, but if not of my own will, I am still entrusted with a stewardship. What then is my reward? That in my...

    Paul said, "Be Imitators of Me"

    “I do not write these things to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children. For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. I urge you, then, be imitators of me. That is why I sent you...

    The Argument for Universal Reconciliation from the Book of Romans

    Hello, brothers and sisters in Christ. It seems clear to me, on a holistic, contextual reading of the Book of Romans, that Paul supported the idea of universal reconciliation in no uncertain terms. His statements, particularly in chapters 5 and 11, seem to support the eventual salvation not only...

    Share in Suffering for the Gospel

    2 Timothy 1:8-14 ESV “Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us...

    Was Paul a Hypocrite? II

    This was originally published on October 31, 2020, but since this is a subject which keeps resurfacing, I believe I am to repost it today: I hear a lot of people quote Paul from Romans 7, using him as an example of a life of struggling (regularly giving in) to sin. Usually this is in the...

    Son of Perdition, Beasts, Dragon - Simple and Irrefutable

    Are you ready to get serious? (The Truth is simple once you get there.) Endless debate falls apart, the Truth will set us free. The Holy Spirit, the teacher of Truth, gives us eyes to see, and ears to hear. When progressing in the word, it is important to build faith on a foundation of truth...

    The Humble Hackberry

    It has gray corky looking bark. Typically this North Dakota native typically grows 30 to 50 feet. It seldom grows in pure stands because it is not a very strong competitor. It is often mistaken for the American Elm but it lacks the lovely vase shape and does not turn yellow in the fall, but...

    How You Finish

    There is an old saying that says, “It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.” I have heard this phrase many times in my life, mostly from old football coaches. Usually when this phrase was implemented the team wasn’t doing so well and needed some truth to help them out. What was meant by this...

    Not Repenting After Corrections From Spiritual Leaders

    I am afraid that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, sexual sin and debauchery in which they have indulged. - 2 Corinthians 12:21 There are many tests for the humility of our walk with...
