Job 19:25 – 25 “As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last He will take His stand on the earth.

Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me”: Notice “walk”, “through”, “shadow”, “no”, “with”, “comfort” – all are words that capture the reality of physical death being, for the child of God, a… Continue reading Psalm 23:4 – eternal, immutable security

Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21 Ephesians 6:4 says “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” NAS  The word translated “discipline” in the NAS is also translated “discipline” in the ESV, while in the KJV it is translated “nurture,” all coming from the same… Continue reading A Duty of Biblical Parenting –

HUMAN GOVERNMENT is one of a multitude of false gods of Satan’s deceitful, unceasing war against God that is presently (10/20/2022) consuming “conservative” Americans (many of whom are professing believers) as they look to their threefold “savior” – 1) voting 2) a majority control of Congress & 3) Donald J. Trump in the presidency (Pro… Continue reading Human Government – a deceitful false “savior”

11/7/2022 – The demise of America – morally, politically, economically, as just one of a multitude of elements in God’s Sovereign, predestined, providential perfect plan revealed from Genesis thru Revelation (Gen 3:15; Ps 19:7-11; 119; Pro 21:1,30-31; II Tim 3:16-17; II Ptr 1:19-21), is being carried out on the stage of human history, for the… Continue reading The Demise of America

As a nouthetic Biblical counselor I frequently have well-meaning, sincere professing believers, when asked why they aren’t obediently applying the principles of scripture that we have discussed, respond with “Well, after all, I’m only human you know.”  For a true believer to make such a response, whether knowingly or due to genuine spiritual immaturity (Hebrews… Continue reading An Example of False, Albeit Unintentional, but Nevertheless, Untrusting, Unbelieving Humility

Forgiveness – the ultimate expression of the love of God for His elect children – Ephesians 1:3-6,7-14; I John 4 (all): To forgive others is the command of God to every believer, that is to be obeyed as is any command of God.  To forgive is an act of obedience, not a process of human… Continue reading The Pinnacle of Christ-like Love

The proper fear of the Lord, Biblically revealed: Why we know to “fear” the Lord (Titus 1:1-2; Roms 1:18-20; II Tim 1:7-9; Ephs 1:3-14; Col 2:9-10; 1:22; Roms 8; Rev 20:10-15; 21-22) & what it means to rightly “fear” (reverence) our Holy Heavenly Father –  The precious blessed wonder of the joy of embracing each… Continue reading The Proper Fear of God

The Bible transcends the passing of time & all the attempts of evil, Satan inspired men to discredit & destroy it.  The Bible is indeed the non-negotiable, always existant, uncreated, infallible, inerrant word/truth of God – Is 44:6; 55:6-7,8 (40:8; Ps 19; 119; Jn 17:17; II Tim 3:16-17; Pro 30:5-6; Rev 20:10-15; 21-22),9-13; 66:1-2; 46:8-10; Rev… Continue reading God’s Divinely Inspired Authoritative Word

Woman’s role in the church: I Timothy 2:11-15 (v12) Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, very unambiguously disallows any woman exercising authority over any man in the formal operation of the NT church — “formal operation” meaning the sherperding, teaching, governing operation of the local church.  Paul never disallows the ongoing ministry of Godly… Continue reading Woman’s Role In the Church
