Abiding in Christ: What Does it Mean? part 7 of 9: Exposition of John 15:4-5
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. The aorist imperative “abide” here indicates the characteristic of the whole life of the saint, not a momentary action, or repeated points of faith-decisions […]
The Negativity of the Holy Spirit
Since the Holy Spirit is spirit after all, so we can’t see Him, He is easier for men to mold into what they prefer Him to be. He is Who He is, which is what scripture says about Him. The Holy Spirit, yes, gives joy, peace, those fruit of the Spirit, which people want. They […]
Faithful Flooring
A brother in my church, Jim Appel, has a ministry called “Faithful Flooring,” through which he uses his extensive ability in flooring and remodeling to help the Lord’s churches and saints.

The Ministry of Satan as Caused or Allowed by God
Scripture has everything anyone needs to know about Satan. Whatever we can know about Satan, we get from scripture and there is no other source. Satanology is a subcategory of angelology, the doctrine of angels, which has far less biblical source material as a basis than, for instance, the doctrine of God and the doctrine […]
Interpreting Trump and the Never or Anti Trumpers
Watch the latest video at foxbusiness.com If you lived in the biblical time of the judges of the Old Testament book of Judges, would you have voted for every one of those judges? That includes Samson by the way. I’m thinking, no. And yet, when you read Judges, you vote for them. You could say […]

Beauty, Worldly Lust, Effeminate and Truth in the Real World
The well-known reformed theologian, R. C. Sproul, founder of Ligonier Ministries, some of you readers know died on December 14 this year. I appreciated his defense and exposition of many important aspects of the biblical and historic doctrine of the Christian faith. He impacted much with perhaps his most well known book, The Holiness of […]
My Position on Christmas
Spurgeon wrote this and when I read it, it rings true for what I believe about the observation and celebration of the incarnation at this time of the year: WE HAVE NO superstitious regard for times and seasons. Certainly we do not believe in the present ecclesiastical arrangement called Christmas: first, because we do not […]

The 15th century Hebrew inscription Sinai 361 from Serabit el-Khadim refers by name to “Moses.”[1] The relevant portion of the inscription reads: “Our bound servitude had lingered.

Ability to Judge, Standard of Judgment, and Judging Effeminate Behavior (and Separating from It)
A First Part In 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, the Apostle Paul makes this strong statement about people with certain ways of life. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, […]
