Our last study reviewed the elements of the Gospel of the Kingdom taught by Peter and the 12 for the Nation of Israel compared to the Gospel of the Grace of God revealed to the Apostle Paul for both individual Jews and Gentiles and it argued that Paul taught the Gospel of the Grace throughout […]
Previous studies covered Romans 9:1 – 29, which begins with the Apostle Paul writing that he could wish himself accursed from Christ for his brethren, his kinsmen according to the flesh, Romans 9:1 – 3: “Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the […]
Scientists are shocked when a new sea creature is discovered that’s able to live in complete darkness under tons of pressure at the bottom of the deepest sea. God is not shocked. These fish are not new discoveries to Him. He created the odd-looking creatures, and only His eyes have seen them for thousands of […]
Past articles recapped the good news that there is no judgement against believers in Christ Jesus who were formerly sinners condemned to death, Romans 8:1 – 11; the believer’s personal relationship as children of God and so empowered to can call Him “Abba Father,” notwithstanding suffering endured while looking forward to the Glory that will […]
You can almost visualize Tevye pumping his arms as he sings “Tradition” in the opening scenes of Fiddler on the Roof. He is claiming that traditions are what hold his community together.

The church is not immune to division and finger-pointing, especially when it comes to views on political issues. The Apostle Paul addressed a church that was polarizing over […]
