Fail To Understand The Spiritual Aspect And You Will Fail To Understand The Threat
Listening to GBC Men’s Study: The Biblical View Of Angels Part Two, especially as it related to the spiritual hierarchy and warfare aspects, reinforced many of the thoughts that I have been having on the topic of so-called “conspiracy theories.” Many find it hard to believe that our governments, mass media, academia, and other such institutions,…
“The Lawful Use of the Law” In Light Of Parallel Passages

Biblical Revelation vs. Carnal Tradition: An Easy Test
It may not be 100% foolproof but it does work exceedingly well. Basically, if someone brings a doctrine or interpretation your way… bring up the relevant passages that appear to contradict their views and see how they respond to them or to the questions you ask in light of them.

In Loving Christ, Christians Love, Delight In, and Serve His Law
In Loving Christ, Christians Love, Delight In, and Serve His Law Of a truth, “Sin shall not have dominion over [the Christian]: for [we] are not under the law, but under grace. 15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid!” [Romans 6:14-15]. For “whosoever committeth…
