Who are these people, because I see them everywhere in scripture?
He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire. Matthew 311-13.
One of the frequent discussions I hear centers on this phrase, “as it was in the days of Noah.”
Things that puzzle and provoke me. Matthew 3:9-12.
All the region were going out to him, and they were baptized, confessing their sins. Matthew 3:4-12.

He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire. Matthew 311-13.
I ask this question as I think about the thief on the cross. How many baptisms are we supposed to endure? That came off rather pessimistically and I have experienced far too much religious tradition, but it’s a rhetorical question anyway … Continue reading

Things that puzzle and provoke me. Matthew 3:9-12.
In the previous post on Matthew 3, we touched on verses 9 – 12, but as I look at these verses again, I see things that provoke and puzzle me. For example: “And do not presume to say to yourselves, … Continue reading

All the region were going out to him, and they were baptized, confessing their sins. Matthew 3:4-12.
I am a big fan of the series The Chosen. If you were to ask why, I would tell you that even though we have limited information to define the events we see on screen, there is enough information in scripture to validate … Continue reading

He will be called a Nazarite. Matthew 2:18-23.
We ended our last dive into Matthew’s gospel with Matthew 2:16. So let’s see what we can come up with after recapping the last verse. This will give us a foundation for the following few verses. “When Herod saw that he had … Continue reading

The Magi, what did they want, and why were they demanding answers from Herod?
The next thing we encounter in Matthew’s gospel is, The Visit of the Wise Men “Now, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod, the king, magi from the east, arrived in Jerusalem, saying, “Where … Continue reading

I cannot remember how we got to this point, but something got said about hell.
I know many who believe God has already thrown people into hell, but that has NOT happened yet, and, in general, it will NOT happen until the great throne event at the end of the thousand-year reign of Christ. Why do … Continue reading

She ran back to the bar and the horrid life she left behind. Yes, there are many things in The Chosen, that are not spelled out in scripture.
This morning, 03/16/23, as usual, I met with the guys from church. As a group, we watch The Chosen and comment on what we notice and how it affects us. No one has much to say, so I do most … Continue reading

“The Story” Chapter 1, Genesis four, from Adam to Noah. Edit and repost.
When I made the first post in 2014, I did it under protest. Having had experience with Pastor Rick Warren and his 40 days of purpose books, I wanted nothing to do with this, and the small men’s Bible study … Continue reading

Gathering all the chief priests and elders he inquired about this king of the Jews. Matthew 2: 1-12.
If you were hoping for a continued foray into the book of Romans, I must apologize because I am an obsessive multitasker. I had been feeling like I needed to do as I started almost twenty years ago, to read … Continue reading

Its power touches only the living. Romans 7:4.
I am looking at Romans 8, but Pastor Jack Hibbs pointed out that the context begins in chapter seven, and, therefore, I am starting here in Romans 7. But first, a notation. Paul, immediately, in Romans 7:1, tells us, “You … Continue reading
