BibleVersity: June 2015
http://bibleversity.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 29. For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." (Acts 1:5, NASB). That question is a little easier to answer in non-Pentecostal circles, but what about those who are Pentecostal? Over the years I have spoken to plenty of eyewitnesses that tell me, we are not all Pentecostal in practice. Why is this? Why don't we let the Holy Spirit do what He wants to do in the church? The A/G has experienced unprecedented growth around the world prima...

BibleVersity: Is It Sinful?
http://bibleversity.blogspot.com/2015/03/is-it-sinful_25.html
Wednesday, March 25. The following is a condensed excerpt for a message I recently preached). How many times have you made a decision by flipping a coin? This may work when deciding on pizza topping choices or the color of paint for your house, but for bigger, more important decisions we need some guidelines. Discovering if a behavior is sinful can be a bit more complicated. One preacher says it is, another says it is not. So, who is right? How do I know if something is sin or not? 1 Is it mentioned?

BibleVersity: July 2015
http://bibleversity.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 14. Bible Study 101: Progressive Revelation. Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession." - (Heb 4:14, NASB). Where am I going with all this? Much of the NT is fairly easy to understand, at least at face value. But if you wish to go deeper in the things of God, you much make the OT a regular part of your Bible study. Don't neglect the OT, embrace it, and watch what happens! Links to this post. At thi...

Friday, April 3. For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement." - Lev. 17:11 (NASB. In other religions mankind can carry out certain deeds or live in such a manner that their "god" will accept them, but not Christianity. His death makes eternal life possible for us. His death was the only offering that was acceptable. His death brought us forgiveness of sin, and His resur...

BibleVersity: We Need More Duct Tape
http://bibleversity.blogspot.com/2015/08/we-need-more-duct-tape.html
Thursday, August 13. We Need More Duct Tape. Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person. (Col. 4:6, NASB). There's a song many of us sung as children in church. The third verse went like this:. Oh, be careful little mouth, what you say, Oh, be careful little mouth, what you say, For the Father up above, Is looking down in love, So be careful little mouth what you say.". We often seemed to be focused more on the salt.

BibleVersity: Why Death?

BibleVersity: September 2014
http://bibleversity.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 6. There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD, but I hate him, for he never prophecies good concerning me." - (2 Chron. 18:7, NASB). What got my attention this morning as I read this passage is just how callously Ahab wrote off the LORD man. He did not like the message, so he never sought him out; and when he did seek him out Ahab punished the man because the message stung. Does this sound familiar? Links to this post. Friday, September 5. A Turn Of Events From God. Defin...

BibleVersity: Biblical Apprenticeship
http://bibleversity.blogspot.com/2015/07/biblical-apprenticeship.html
Tuesday, July 7. Go therefore and make disciples. 8221; - (Matt. 28:18-20). The Greek word mathetai. Is the term we usually translate as disciple, and it expresses the idea of "student" or "pupil". To me, the best understanding today of the biblical principle of disciples is apprentices. At this level the apprentice makes the commitment to stay the course by receiving the education and training necessary to become the “journeyman”. He called the disciples to commit to the journey. Then He began the p...
