Again and again throughout Paul’s epistles, he uses strong action words to get his point across. He corrects those that have removed themselves from the gospel or may move away from it. He tells us to stand, to withstand, to fight. We are to walk and not bite and devour. He uses many colorful and illustrious words to describe his message to…
The ark of the covenant was central to the religious life in Israel until the time they were carried away into Babylon. At that time it disappeared, never to be seen again. Some claim that Jeremiah hid it so that it wouldn’t be carried away with the other temple treasures. Others claim that it somehow made its’ way to a church in…

They will tell you to repent of your sins (by which they mean turn from your sins). They will say that if your life is not transformed outwardly, then you probably aren’t saved. Repentance means to change your…
Fides: Faith, trust, loyalty, or confidence. Et cetera (etc.): “And the rest,” “and so on,” or “and other things of the same kind”. The Reformers that were teaching the tenets of the Reformation were teaching ‘sola fides’ – faith alone. Today that teaching has devolved into Fides et Cetera – faith and some other stuff. But the reformers had it correct, and…
