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...

“Yahweh Is Coming With Fire”

“See, the LORD is coming with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind; he will bring down his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For with fire and with his sword the LORD will execute judgment upon all men, and many will be those slain by the LORD. ‘Those who consecrate and...

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...

Increase Your Faith — How To Believe For the Impossible (Part 2 of 2)

Editor’s note: I wrote this as a follow up to this post, and thought I’d take the time to post another “how to have faith” entry, but this time just list several Scripture verses to help remove some misunderstandings about faith and how it works and what it is believers do have exactly.  This...

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...

How To Meditate — Understanding This Lost Biblical Artform

“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.” Psalm 1:1-2 “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but...

God’s Jealous Love — Understanding His Judgments

Have you ever wondered about the apparent contradiction between the “vengeful” God of the Old Testament and the gracious, loving Lord of the New Testament? Have you struggled to reconcile God’s holy anger with His boundless love? These are issues that many have wrestled with for ages. God’s...

What Are You Building With?

“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” (Matthew 13:44, ESV) I may seem like I’m going off on a weird rabbit trail and it might not be obvious at first why I...
