Romans chapter four. What of Abraham?

Posted on 11/09/2019 by

In looking at Romans chapter four, it initiates with a question. What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, according to the flesh, has found? (Romans 4:1 NASB) The NASB does not improve my understanding, for the language is … Continue reading →

On August 11, 2019, Pastor Jon Maurer’s sermon was: “A couple of things I wished I had known about reading the Bible.” The irony of this is, I already knew these things. Simply put, I learned them in the school … Continue reading →

For the Lord, Himself will come down. My thoughts on a mid-tribulation rapture.

Posted on 16/08/2019 by

Romans 1:16-17, I am not ashamed.

Posted on 12/05/2019 by

A look at Micah. Chapter 1 verse 5. What is the rebellion of Jacob? Is it not Samaria?

Posted on 29/10/2018 by

When you read any mention of Samaria in the New Testament, you would think it was a forbidden city to the Jews; that was not the case; however, the hatred and animosity of the Samaritans indeed ran deep for a very long time.

A study/commentary on 2 Thessalonians 2: 1-4

Posted on 01/05/2018 by

I primarily use the NASB, but occasionally I find it deficient; I will insert other translations if they can clarify the context. Those translations will be duly noted. Chapter one was an appropriate greeting, but chapter two stands alone and … Continue reading →
