One of the more noticeable functions of the heavenly host is that they serve, at least a number of them, serve as God’s warriors, soldiers. The scripture uses military or army imagery and terminology. The members of the heavenly host get that label in certain passages, these are warriors. The...

In the Bible, reality is made up of two overlapping realms. The heavens and the earth, our space and God’s space. While life here on earth may seem ordinary, sometimes we can encounter heaven right here in our own realm, this happens a number of times in the Bible and when it does, we often...

Hebrews 12:22-24, You have come to Mount Zion, (We got sacred space, we got divine presence where God’s presence is, where his entourage is, plenty of Old Testament passages about the throne room of God.) into the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem and to innumerable angels in festal...

The debate over what is hell, what is the final punishment, is it some sort of everlasting ongoing torment or is it annihilation? They’re both defensible, textually. The debate turns on how to answer the question of the death of death, Revelation 20:14-15. This is the great white throne...

Acts 8:9-13, We get a specific episode in Samaria that concerns Simon, Simon the magician. In verse 9, There was a man named Simon who had previously practiced magic in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was somebody great. They all paid attention to him from the...

Look at the language use to describe the Name in Isaiah 30:27. Behold, the Name of the Lord comes from afar. Looks like we’re getting language that makes the Name sound like a person. In blazing wrath with a heavy burden, his lips. The Name has lips? This language is speaking about the Name as...

Acts 8:1-3, opens with Saul approving of Stephens execution, and there arose on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem. And they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria. Saul was ravaging the church and entering house after house. He dragged off men...

What was Paul thinking when he used the phrase “all Israel will be saved?” To answer this question of what Paul was thinking, we have to address three questions. One, how does Paul define “all Israel?” When Paul uses the term Israel or thinks of Israel, he isn’t excluding ethnic Jews, but he’s...

Freedom from God’s condemnation is a reality for every single believer, not because of any new found performance capabilities, but because we are made the righteousness of God in our union with his perfectly righteous son. On top of that, everything necessary to prove to us beyond any shadow of...

Jesus has purchased the entire human race out from the marketplace of sin’s ability to condemn the sinner ever again. Do you see why sin is no longer the issue on the table of God’s justice in this age of grace? It’s no longer the issue in the judicial mind of God who received the payment. In...

Who in the world are those involved in religion asking for forgiveness? From God! Therefore the assumption is, God’s not reconciled when they sin. In their mind they are separating themselves from God by their sin. Justification...Redemption...Propitiation...Remission...and Forbearance...all...

God has kept the fingerprints of the guilt worthy, off of the righteousness he designed for the guilt worthy. Know who God counts you to be once you have trusted what Christ accomplished where your sins are concerned? 
 When self-righteous moralizers harden their hearts and remain impenitent...

So-called Christendom today fails to rightly divide the word of truth, because they have mixed God’s program with Israel and his program with the Body of Christ and mixed dispensations together; dispensations that do not mix together, and as a result, they think they have taken on Israel’s role...

All of us who have been sealed into the body of Christ wants God to be pleased with the decisions that we make, but God has given us the freedom to make our own choices. God want us to apply scripture, where scripture can be applied, and where no scriptural principle can be applied, to make the...

We need to understand that forgiveness was all upfront and all-inclusive. It took place when Christ said that it is finished. God knows about it, and he wants us “humankind” to know about it, because they think he is alienated from them, in his mind, when they sin. He put all that sin on his son...

Should we just go out and sin all the more now that we know that God’s grace is given to us as a gift simply when we believe his son died for our sins, and put those sins off the table of God’s justice. We must understand that God has predetermined to glorify us. In fact, God has predestined us...

Paul’s gospel must be accepted, it must be believed today, and you can be sure that confusion concerning that gospel through the use of a counterfeit gospel; a gospel that looks so much like Paul’s gospel that you’d not know the difference, if you didn’t clearly know Paul’s gospel, will be...
