The Coming Antichrist and the rapture of the church. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-10

Posted on 24/06/2020 by

Chapter one I had recently written, once again, a study on 2 Thessalonians 2:1-10, and thought I did a fairly good job of making my point, that the rapture comes first and then Antichrist arrives, along with God’s wrath, but … Continue reading →

Paul’s plan to visit the church in Rome. Romans 15:22-33

Posted on 17/04/2020 by

As we close out chapter 15, I feel I need to recap verses 20, 21. My ambition has always been to preach the Good News where the name of Christ has never been heard, rather than where a church has … Continue reading →

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1

Posted on 13/04/2020 by

This idea of confessing, as though it was a continual act of slaughtering a lamb for your sins, does not change God’s heart toward you. 1 John 1:9 NASB says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Continue reading →

Paul tells us why Romans 8:1 works. Romans 8:2-4.

Posted on 13/04/2020 by

We learned in Romans 8:1 that there is NOW (an ever-present tense) NO condemnation. To me, an obvious conclusion is that this applies to my relationship with the Father through Jesus Christ. So what does Romans 8:2 tell us? For … Continue reading →

Paul, the minister to the Gentiles. Romans 15:14-21.

Posted on 12/04/2020 by

The letter to the Church that met in Rome was written approximately A.D. 58, from Corinth. In it, Paul very distinctly asserts that he is now the minister to the Gentiles. Romans 15:14-16 NASB And concerning you, my brethren, I … Continue reading →

Posted on 07/04/2020 by

Christ the Hope of Jews and Gentiles When we closed our last post, we were counseled to welcome others, just as the Messiah has welcomed us. God nor Paul have changed their minds, and so we continue with Romans chapter … Continue reading →

Here it is, April 4, 2020, and I feel a strong compulsion to address fear.

Posted on 07/04/2020 by

We are surrounded by negativity and fear. The daily news is feeding into the fear by amplifying aspects of the most recent virus while inflating the death tolls. What am I talking about? What we now call Covid 19, and what … Continue reading →

Live in such a way … Romans 14:13-23.

Posted on 05/04/2020 by
