Doctrines of Demons, false teachers, and other foolishness. Revelation 3:9


As I mentioned in a previous post, involving yourself with incompetent Bible studies can give you a constant supply of fresh material. In this case, the self-appointed group leader of the morning coffee shop crowd opened with, “I have put … Continue reading

Matthew 25 and the fall from grace. An edited reblog.


Well, I did it. I went back to the Monday morning men’s bible study. No, nothing has changed, and, six months later, they are still on the same subject. While I have no issue with spending over a year in … Continue reading

New Years day and this is what you preach, the institution of the Lord’s supper? Mark 14:22 – 42

Aren’t you just a bit curious about what John had to say? John 1:19-20

Why would John have to say that? John 1:18

Adventures in false teachings. Chapter one – Does the Second coming bring judgment.


After a two week interlude, our fearless leader came back to lead men’s bible study. Oh, dear Lord, save us. He did the appropriate thing by thanking the person that “lead” the group for the previous two weeks, adding, “I … Continue reading

Attempting to understand Matthew 25:31-46. Chapter three continues to look at the nations and the sheep.


It is evident to me that some of my greatest impacts have come from exposing my frailties and successes in recovery. We all have things that push our limits, and false teachers are one of mine. I subject myself to some … Continue reading
