Because of the Violence
Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you [Esau], and you shall be cut off forever. On the day that you stood aloof, on the day that strangers carried off his wealth and foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were like one of them. Obadiah 1:10-11…

Bible Study on Homosexuality
I was asked to gather verses from the Bible that speak against homosexuality. While I was at it, I decided to make it into a short Bible study on the subject. We know that God absolutely forbade homosexuality in the Old Testament (Leviticus 18:22 and others), but many people try to say that “nothing was…

Forgive and/or Forget
If you can’t forgive and forget, then pick one. Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.” Luke 17:3-4 Then Peter came up…

Passing Away
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.…

Sin is Lawlessness
Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. You know that Jesus appeared in order to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin. No one who abides in Him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen Him or known Him. 1 John…

Humble Yourselves
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful.

Psalm 100
Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth! Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know that the LORD, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his…

Children of the Living God
When she had weaned No Mercy, she conceived and bore a son. And the LORD said, “Call his name Not My People, for you are not my people, and I am not your God.” Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or…

Hold Fast (or “The Opposite of the Free Grace Movement”)
Perhaps (like me up until recently) you haven’t realized there was such a thing as the “free grace” movement. Immediately you have to wonder about the concept, since we already know that grace IS free or it isn’t grace, right? So what’s the point? Well, their point is that they don’t feel that there can…

Two Covenants
I wish I could be present with you now and change my tone, for I am perplexed about you. Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not listen to the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and one by a free…
