INTRODUCTION: In 1885, a man named William Palmer accompanied his friend, John Cook, to bet on some horse races in Shrewsbury, England. Palmer had been a chemist earlier in his life and then later became a physician; yet at some point, slowly, his life became encumbered with a large number of gambling debts. The only … Continue reading Natural Born Killers (A Biblical Examination of the 6th Commandment)
“When in Corinth, Don’t Do as the Corinthians Do” (A Bible Study of 1 Corinthians 6:12-20)
I'd like to start off with a quick story. Somewhere out west, a woman was driving her new Buick into town. It was a clear day, and there weren't that many people on the road. She was just sort of coasting. And it was your basic highway, two lanes in each direction. … Continue reading “When in Corinth, Don’t Do as the Corinthians Do” (A Bible Study of 1 Corinthians 6:12-20)
A King’s Desperation (A Bible Study of Psalm 25:1-22)
Going through the life of David, as we have been, we see what we might consider a great man. He was a man with great accomplishments. He was a man with great failures. He was a man with great opposition. But we know better, don't we? And what we know is that David was anything … Continue reading A King’s Desperation (A Bible Study of Psalm 25:1-22)
Four Lepers and a Funeral (A Bible Study of 2 Kings 7:1-20 NKJV)
The book of 2 Kings is, just as 1 Kings is, the chronicling of the Jewish kings after the death of King Solomon. The nation was split into two kingdoms, the southern kingdom being that of Judah and the northern kingdom of Israel. After about 80 years, or so, the northern kingdom of Israel, and … Continue reading Four Lepers and a Funeral (A Bible Study of 2 Kings 7:1-20 NKJV)
Whiners Whine, It’s What They Do ( A Bible Study of Numbers 11:1-35)
On August 23rd, 2005, a tropical storm began to form off the coast of the Bahamas. Over the next two days, that storm grew in intensity, only barely becoming a hurricane shortly before making landfall in Florida on the 25th. As you would expect, the hurricane began to lose its strength at that point, and … Continue reading Whiners Whine, It’s What They Do ( A Bible Study of Numbers 11:1-35)
Jesus Christ, I Thee Wed
At some point over the past couple of months, while I’ve watched and read a lot of debate (some helpful, some not) over the issue of homosexual marriage; it occurred to me that we might be overlooking one aspect of marriage that we almost take for granted nowadays, the wedding itself. We talk about redefining … Continue reading Jesus Christ, I Thee Wed
…ARE DOOMED To Repeat It (A Bible Study of Jude 1:14-25) – Part 2
Those who forget history, ARE doomed to repeat it. That's what we began to see, in our last lesson, when we first opened the book of Jude, in its first thirteen verses (You can check out that lesson by clicking HERE). And we discovered that this epistle, was intended by its author, as a call … Continue reading …ARE DOOMED To Repeat It (A Bible Study of Jude 1:14-25) – Part 2
Those Who Forget History… (A Bible Study of Jude 1:1-13) – Part 1
My worst subject in school was always history. After all the years that I spent half asleep in my history classes, I can only tell you three things about history. George Washington had wooden teeth. Lincoln freed the slaves. And we landed on the moon. And I'm totally guessing that it happened in that order. … Continue reading Those Who Forget History… (A Bible Study of Jude 1:1-13) – Part 1
Stray Dogs
There were two issues that it took me some time to come to terms with after I became a Christian. Having been a dispensationalist, the first was to get over my unbiblical understanding of eschatology (But that is an issue that I’ll save for a later post). The other was an issue that seemed small … Continue reading Stray Dogs
What Has My Blamelessness Done For Me Lately: A Bible Study on Job 35:1-8
The first thing that typically comes to one’s mind when they hear the name 'Job', is Job himself. Others might say the word 'Suffering', which is also fitting since the name 'Job' literally means “One who is persecuted”. We tend to think of 'the man' who lost everything he had and persevered to the end … Continue reading What Has My Blamelessness Done For Me Lately: A Bible Study on Job 35:1-8
