What’s the advantage of being a Jew? Romans 3:1-8.

Posted on 11/20/2021 by remso

We have made it to Romans chapter three, and immediately there is a sense that something is missing, as though we drop into the middle of a conversation. Based on this introduction if you were to say to me, I … Continue reading →

Posted on 01/18/2021 by remso

If you are a student of the Bible, then you know that we are on the brink of the church being snatched out of here and God’s wrath is to be poured out upon the earth. The message, that I … Continue reading →

Fight the Good Fight of Faith. 1Timothy 6:11 -12.

Posted on 12/31/2020 by remso

Most translations entitle this next section “Fight the Good Fight of Faith.” But look at what the NASB translation says in 1 Timothy 6:11a. “But flee from these things, you man of God.” You would think that the editors would … Continue reading →

When desire has conceived. James 1:15-27

Posted on 05/08/2020 by remso

I ended the last post on the book of James with this: Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. … Continue reading →

The marks of a true Christian – what does that mean? Romans 12:9-21.

Posted on 03/17/2020 by remso

Note how the NASB uses the term wickedness. Just the mention of the word evokes images of horrific acts. Look that word “wickedness” up, and you can find, according to the Word Study Dictionary, that a sufficient and simplistic understanding is “what ought not to be.” That sounds like something my granddad used to say. He applied that farm mentality to me on more than one occasion, but notably when I tested out the cigarette lighter in his car and got burned. Continue reading →

A living sacrifice. It’s not what you think. Romans 12:1,2.

Posted on 03/13/2020 by remso

The NASB entitles Romans 12:1,2 as a living sacrifice. As you pursue the depths within chapter 12, you come to understand that WE are that living sacrifice. Finding the treasures buried within those depths may require a focused examination into what Paul is … Continue reading →

Does the law = sin. Romans 7:7-25

Posted on 11/05/2019 by remso

So when Paul says I would not have come to know sin except through the Law, perhaps he is saying, having been taught that there was a law as a young child, I came to understand that going outside the parameters of the Law, was to miss the mark (sin.) Continue reading →

Micah 6:6-8, He’s already made it plain how to live.

Posted on 02/24/2019 by remso

suffice it to say that Adam had been given inside information on how everything was to play out. So when Adam gives up the rights to the earth through his tacit consent with Satan, the battle for control of the planet was on Continue reading →
