The NASB opens chapter five with this headline. Peace with God through faith. Spend any amount of time, in church and someone will tell you that you are just a sinner, saved by grace. Often, they take it a step … Continue reading →

Everything around me is changing, and I don’t like it.

Posted on 09/02/2019 by remso

I and the Church, in general, is going through changes – we have been for some time now. These events/changes affect each of our lives differently. For some, mainly the people who don’t care, the changes make no difference. These … Continue reading →

I was told by the Holy Spirit to share a very disturbing dream with you.

Posted on 07/12/2019 by remso

I am going to take a risk and give you a brief look into the window of my life. Perhaps this will demonstrate to you how I got to be who I am, and why. Experience has shown me that … Continue reading →

This is a brief step aside from my study on Romans to look, once again, at the Peretti book, Piercing the Darkness.

Posted on 06/02/2019 by remso

I have been rereading a Frank E. Peretti book called Piercing the Darkness. Years ago I heard Dr. Dobson interview Mr. Peretti about the books he has written because there was such insight into the spirit world, and Dr. Dobson, … Continue reading →

I shall be blessed by the will of God to come to you. Romans 1:8-12.

Posted on 05/07/2019 by remso

When I was young, I rarely found a trek through the Bible interesting. I suppose that had more to do with the person who was doing the teaching and their personality. I often find my character to be a bit … Continue reading →

On the idea of judgment. 1Corinthians 6:2,3.

Posted on 04/20/2019 by remso

The conversation was wrapped around a challenge from the local university students who asked my friend what he thought of the idea that angels are superior to humans, God’s creation. I suppose this challenge emanated from some liberal professor who … Continue reading →

Romans 1:1. Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus.

Posted on 04/07/2019 by remso

With the understanding that Jesus is God, I began to study the gospels where the actions and words of Jesus were laid out before me. If my perception was correct, and Jesus was God, then I was seeing God in action. I could not worry about the “law” with all its regulations; I merely observed the life of Jesus. Continue reading →

A heavily modified version of an old post on Hebrews 5:11. It’s hard for you to learn.

Posted on 04/03/2019 by remso

I, for the longest time, thought of myself as a slow learner. It turns out that I am more of a visual learner, for once I get the imagery in my head, that scriptural scene usually stays with me forever. So, when it comes to my experiences in comprehending the Bible, the understanding has come through repetition and a great deal of writing. The writing has been my opportunity to ask God my questions, no matter how awkward or embarrassing, and put forth my heartfelt challenges. 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 →
