May '08 -- Grace Versus Human Good "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."  Isaiah 64:6
April '08 -- The Nephilim "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose."  Genesis 6:1,2	March '08 -- Living In Tranquility  -- part 2 "For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty."  1 Timothy 2:2

And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me. And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her."  Genesis 29:18-20

December '07 -- Weary Of Life  -- part 1 "And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?"  Genesis 27:46	November '07 -- Joseph's Suffering And Triumph To begin with there isn't any way that we can fully do justice in our short study to Joseph's life, but what we can hope to do is study the trauma that he experienced out of all this, how it impacted his life and the faith that sustained him.  "Ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good"  Genesis 50:20
October '07 -- The Father "Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?"  Hebrews 12:9	September '07 -- The Leading Of The Holy Spirit The fact that there are people on earth who are led by the Holy Spirit is an attestation that they belong to God. It is similar to the shepherd leading his sheep.  "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,"  Romans 8:14
August '07 -- Strikings The Sails - Forward Momentum  -- conclusion This study is really a study on the necessity for faith in the Christian life. A nautical metaphor is used, not only because it is based upon the text, but because there are so many things involved in the Christian life that are brought out in it.  "And if he shrinks back,"  Hebrews 10:37	July '07 -- Strikings The Sails - Forward Momentum  -- part 3 And, as the navigator always looked up the the sun in heavens, or the moon in the heavens, so do believers always have to look to heaven to ascertain where they are in the plan of God!  "And if he shrinks back,"  Hebrews 10:37
June '07 -- Strikings The Sails - Forward Momentum  -- part 2 correction! It is as we stick with Bible Doctrine, live by faith and grow in the Word that our faith continues to grow unto the place of absolute confidence.  "And if he shrinks back,"  Hebrews 10:37	May '07 -- Forward Momentum It is as we stick with Bible Doctrine, live by faith and grow in the Word that our faith continues to grow unto the place of absolute confidence.  "For ye have need of patience,"  Hebrews 10:36
April '07 -- Parable Of The Sower Many have wondered over the years why is it that some people believe on Christ and some don't. Many Pastors have also wondered as to why some believers continue on with the Word over the years, while most seem to fall by the wayside. The Lord gives us understanding in this matter in the parable of the sower. "He spake by a parable:"  Luke 8:4	March '07 -- Power For Life The Lord told us that in this life we will have pressure. "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."  John 16:33
February '07 -- Hell's Still Waiting -- part 2 This is the second part of Hell's Still Waiting. "There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores."  Luke 16:19-21	January '07 -- Hell's Still Waiting  -- part 1 People today don't talk about hell any more, not even in many churches. But just because we don't talk about hell doesn't mean that it went away! It's still there and it's still waiting. The question is, is it waiting for you? If you have not believed on Jesus Christ as your Savior, then it is waiting for you.

December '06 -- Without Faith "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."  Hebrews 11:6	November '06 -- Conformation or Transformation? "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."  Romans 12:2
October '06 -- Hope  -- part 2 Even the believer in Christ, who has blown every opportunity that God has given him to appropriate his grace, who has willingly and persistently refused to live by faith in the Word of God and who has rebelled against God's will for his or her life, even if they are taken out of this life under the sin unto death, even that believer has hope!	September '06 -- Hope  -- part 1 Hope is the confident expectation that good awaits you in the future. It is not a wish or desire that good things will happen to you in the future, but the confidence that they will! The mental attitude of hope is one of the most important dynamics that a believer can have going on inside of him, and is to be cultivated along with faith and love.
August '06 -- Eve's Lust  -- part 3 This is the third part of Eve's Lust. "And thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."  Genesis 3:16b	July '06 -- Eve's Lust  -- part 2 This is the second part of Eve's Lust. "And thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."  Genesis 3:16b
June '06 -- Eve's Lust  -- part 1 From the beginning of the Bible to its final revelation there is one theme that stands throughout it and that is the matter of authority and Bible Doctrine. The Apostle James tells us that God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble. He commands us to submit to the authority of God and to resist the devil. "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."  James 4:7	May '06 -- A Vexed Soul A tormented soul comes about for the average believer as the result of a breakdown of not having the inner spiritual dynamic, that God has provided for us all, actively operating on the inside in their soul, and from being exposed to a variety of negative external concepts surrounding the believer in the society.
April '06 -- Angry Wives God has designed marriage to be a blessing to both the man and his wife, and the home to be a place of tranquility, a place where one can go to relax, a place for healing, but in so many homes today in our modern world marriage has become a setting of ongoing hostility between the husband and wife and the home a battle ground.	March '06 -- The World In the Old Testament the concept of the world, or the kosmos, is never used, only the words the heavens and the earth, but in the New Testament it is referred to many times. And it can refer to several things depending on the context: the earth itself, the inhabitants of the earth, the universe, and the system of control that Satan uses to control the people of the earth and keep them in bondage.
February '06 -- Sin and Human Good "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures". 1 Corinthians 15:3	January '06 -- Fellowship with the Father One of the most commonly used words found throughout churches today in Christianity is fellowship. But it is used mainly in the context of fellowship between fellow believers in Christ. "We had great fellowship with each other", or they talk about their fellowship hour down at the church.

December '05 -- Justice or Grace "Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face."  Psalm 89:14 "Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne"	November '05 -- Doctrine of Election For several centuries now Christianity has been divided over the subject of Arminianism, where man in free will can choose for salvation, and the doctrine of election, where God sovereignly chooses individuals for salvation. This is a vast doctrinal field to cover and one can spend years bringing forth the exegesis on the subject.
October '05 -- Doctrine of Election For several centuries now Christianity has been divided over the subject of Arminianism, where man in free will can choose for salvation, and the doctrine of election, where God sovereignly chooses individuals for salvation. This is a vast doctrinal field to cover and one can spend years bringing forth the exegesis on the subject.	September '05 -- The Proper Application of the Doctrine of Election This is a short study covering 37 points... 1. The doctrine of election, along with the millions of other Christian doctrines, is basically for believers in Christ only. 2. The doctrine of the gospel, where Christ died for our sins, was buried and raised again, and that salvation comes by faith alone in Christ alone is the only Christian doctrine for the unsaved.
August '05 -- Doctrine of Election For several centuries now Christianity has been divided over the subject of Arminianism, where man in free will can choose for salvation, and the doctrine of election, where God sovereignly chooses individuals for salvation.  This is a vast doctrinal field to cover and one can spend years bringing forth the exegesis on the subject.	July '05 -- Whole Counsel Training "For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God."  Acts 20:27.  As Paul was returning back to Jerusalem, he called to himself the elders of the church at Ephesus to impart to them certain doctrinal concepts. In this matter he told them that he had communicated to them the whole counsel of God.
June '05 -- The Disappearance of Grace Believers Pride, carnality, worldliism, idolatry, hedonism, materialism, lust gratification, human good, self righteousness, debauchery, moral and immoral degeneracy, came into the picture as the people of God turned away from the Word of God. We are seeing it today as David saw it in his day and wrote about it in Psalm 12.	May '05 -- Romanism versus Christianity There are many Christians today who think that the Roman Catholic Church is a Christian church and that people can get saved by being a member of it and by holding to its teachings.  As always personal issues are never the issue, but what does the Word of God have to say on this matter.
April '05 --- Holiness and Godliness " But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.  Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,"  2 Peter 3: 10, 11	March '05 -- Sons of Bible Doctrine "Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways."  Proverbs 8:32.  It has been said that doctrine divides.  It does!  It divides the sheep from the goats; the saved from the unsaved; the true believer in Christ from the false Christian.
February '05 -- Demonic Fear "But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.  And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee."  1 Samuel 16:14,15	January '05 -- Faith I.D.E.A.S. "Whatsoever things ye ask for, by means of prayer, believing, ye shall receive."  Our faith should soar and our confidence in the Lord grow because that means that the "sky's the limit" for all believers in Christ!

December '04 -- December 25th "Christmas Day or Mithras' Day?"  It's coming around to that time of the year when many throughout the country celebrate Christmas.  The question is, is Christmas a Christian holiday?  Or, is it a pagan holiday that has been brought into Christianity and accepted as Christian?	Novemebr '04 -- The Seed "Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ".  Galatians 3:16
October '04 -- The Throne of Grace "Let us boldly approach the throne of grace, so that we may find mercy and grace to help us in our time of need."  Hebrews 4:16	September '04 -- Barking Dogs "Of them the proverbs are true: 'A dog returns to its vomit,' and, 'A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud.'"  2 Peter 2:22
