Zeal For Your House Part 1: The Individual

John 2:17 NASB “His disciples remembered that it was written, “ZEAL FOR THY HOUSE WILL CONSUME ME.”  (Psalm 69:9 quotation of the LXX version) I saw this verse referenced the other day on John Piper’s wall and it was further fueled by the Holy Spirit.  I was suddenly reminded of...

Speaking in Tongues — A Podcast Discussion On The Baptism in the Holy Spirit

This week Dave and Steve try to cover the subject of speaking in tongues, but this time from the angle of asking specifically if it’s the one true initial evidence of receiving the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. Steve says yes, always, while Dave says almost always, and we take it from there basically. We...

Will There Really Be a Rapture?

Join David Edwards and Steve Bremner as they discuss today the rapture, and if it’s Biblical, or just when we can expect it – pre, mid or post tribulation of the Saints.  We cover it from an angle you might not have ever heard before, because we know we’ve never discussed it...

We get the sacred cow barbecue going again, this time with returning guest Joel Crumpton as we discuss healing.

Paul’s Thorn In The Flesh, Part 3: Why Does It Matter?

This is my final post on the subject, and much could be written but just in case you’re visiting the site for the first time and didn’t read the first two posts, allow me a quick snapshot of what I’ve been saying: It is taught that Paul had this eye disease based on a few circumstantial...

Paul’s Thorn in The Flesh part 2: My Grace is Sufficient?

Our text we’ve been dealing with is found in 1 Corinthians 12:7-10, and today I hope to primarily focus on the second half of that passage. The purpose of this discussion is to demonstrate not only is God not against us, but that he is for us, and a word study and careful look at the word...

Paul’s Thorn in The Flesh, part 1: Messenger of Satan or God?

I have never watched people live in defeat from misunderstanding a passage as much as this one misinterpreted passage of Scripture. Of course I’m talking about how people try telling themselves that God gave them a thorn just like Paul’s, which I politely hope to show is terrible...

Mustard Seed Faith — How To Speak To Mountains and Cast Them Into The Sea
