Saul, the witch of Endor, and one very angry prophet. 1 Samuel 28.

Posted on 06/23/2019 by remso

I get asked a lot of questions. Some of them are sound and reasonable, others, not so much. This one initiated with some vehemency about who the witch of Endor called up from the dead. Because the Dake’s Bible side … Continue reading →

I am regularly challenged by the horrendous lack of understanding in the church body.

Posted on 03/06/2019 by remso

The problem with setting the passage aside without understanding, is that Jesus, fulfilled all that He said, and returned to the Father. The Father/God in turn sent the Holy Spirit as He said, and we have Peter, speaking on the day of Pentecost – filled with power through this new Holy Spirit they had been promised. The law, therefore, had no negative impact on the fulfillment of the promised gift of the Holy Spirit. Continue reading →

Micah 5:2. The LORD will choose one of your people to rule.

Posted on 01/16/2019 by remso

I don’t know about you, but I feel as though there is little I can do that is useful, and so I write. Maybe that’s the condition we find Micah in as we move into chapter five of Micah. Continue reading →

Judas Iscariot, a character study. Part 4, the end.

Posted on 12/13/2018 by remso

I find I can’t give you a definitive answer as to where Judas Iscariot is, however, I think what I have given you is enough to show that we serve a merciful God and that not everything is so black and white that you can exclaim that Judas is in hell. Continue reading →

Judas Iscariot, a character study. Part 3.

Posted on 12/12/2018 by remso

Some might ask why I am defending such a man. Primarily it is because an aspect of what we have learned inside the brick walls we call the church, has imposed bad teaching and skewed traditions upon us; in doing … Continue reading →

Judas Iscariot, a character study. Part 2.

Posted on 12/10/2018 by remso

This examination of Judas Iscariot is the outgrowth of a recent group Bible study on Hebrews. During the evening’s interactions on Hebrews my friend, in reference to eternal security, adamantly contrasted Judas-Iscariot, declaring, Judas Iscariot went to hell. I have several problems … Continue reading →

A look at Micah. Chapter 1: 6-16. The end of chapter 1.

Posted on 11/05/2018 by remso

May I be honest? There are some portions of the Bible that I find tedious, like the book of Numbers and these next few verses. Let’s see if I can invest a bit of life into them. Micah 1:6 MKJV … Continue reading →

A blog update and some thoughts on confession.

Posted on 10/10/2018 by remso

All these things have helped to make me who I am; and, if I am willing to open my mouth, following the lead of the Holy Spirit, the results can be amazing. The way I see it, God made me who I am, and there are people out there who can relate to me and are just waiting for me to feed into their lives. Continue reading →
