They did not love their life even when faced with death. Revelation 12:11.

Posted on 08/21/2021 by remso

Previously, we saw Satan cast out of heaven and thrown to the earth. And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the … Continue reading →

Those who are under the yoke of slavery – 1 Timothy 6: 1

Posted on 12/02/2020 by remso

We have moved into 1 Timothy chapter six. I thought we would never get here. I have got to tell you that this opening line leaves me with the feeling that we have lost the context, and I will show … Continue reading →

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

Posted on 04/17/2020 by remso

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 04/13/2020 by remso

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 →

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

Posted on 04/07/2020 by remso

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 →

Fulfilling the Law Through Love. Romans 13:8-14.

Posted on 03/26/2020 by remso

That’s quite the title considering that Paul is known for preaching grace. As Paul tries to tell us how to follow the law, the “law” and love, at first glance, those two words do not seem to belong together, as … Continue reading →

The marks of a true Christian – what does that mean? Romans 12:9-21.

Posted on 03/17/2020 by remso

Note how the NASB uses the term wickedness. Just the mention of the word evokes images of horrific acts. Look that word “wickedness” up, and you can find, according to the Word Study Dictionary, that a sufficient and simplistic understanding is “what ought not to be.” That sounds like something my granddad used to say. He applied that farm mentality to me on more than one occasion, but notably when I tested out the cigarette lighter in his car and got burned. Continue reading →

God’s sovereign choice. Romans 9: 1-14. Part one of two.

Posted on 01/29/2020 by remso

That simplistic word glory, which the CJB translated as “Sh’khinah,” is the Greek word doxa and conveys splendor, brightness, magnificence, excellence, preeminence, dignity, grace, and majesty. All these things, though difficult to see, emanated within all these ways set before God’s people. Continue reading →

Suffering compared with glory. Romans 8:18-30

Posted on 12/27/2019 by remso

My first thought, the Glory of God’s presence, is something I can only vaguely describe, and all I understand of heaven boils down to one simple word, peace. So, there truly is no comparison, especially those who sit beside me … Continue reading →
