Many Christians can tell you what the shortest verse in the Bible is: “Jesus wept.” Many can even tell you that verse is John 11:35. Yet how often do we read over verses such as this without considering why Jesus wept? Or what Paul is trying to engrain in our minds when he writes: 1 Thessalonians 5:16 ¶ Rejoice evermore. 1 Thessalonians…

Oftentimes when Christians talk about ‘the faith’ as it is used in scripture, they believe it is only referring to the gospel of salvation. The gospel is indeed part of how God’s Word is using ‘the faith,’ but that is a very narrow and shallow understanding of its’ meaning. ‘The faith’ encompasses the whole of scripture. It is what God requires for…
We often hear Christians say that the Holy Spirit spoke to them. When asked what were his exact words, the response is usually that it wasn’t actual words, but a strong feeling. But does the Holy Spirit speak to us today in plain words? The answer, of course, is yes. Every time you open God’s Word and begin to read, the Holy…

There are many times in scripture where the phrase ‘one thing’ is used. This study looks at the importance of that phrase in five particular passages.

The most notable is the ten commandments that “”… were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.” Each time this happened, it concluded the guilt of man. Writing is how God communicates His words to us. Men wrote down God’s…

Even if you don’t know all of the ins and outs of the manuscript controversies, knowing a few verses to go to and a few…
Oftentimes when we read or listen to the scriptures, we tend to gloss over many words that are there. This is nothing new to this age. Even when Christ was on the earth and teaching his disciples, they often didn’t really hear what he was saying. Just as what they heard was formed by their world view, so often what we read…
The importance of God’s Word is essential to any believer. Some verses everyone should be familiar with are: Psalms 138:2 – God magnifies His Word above His Name. Hebrews 4:12 – The Word of God is quick and powerful. We often spend more time defending God’s Word than we do using it. God’s Words are always more powerful than ours. I Thess.…
These are the things that we assume as Mid-Acts right division dispensationalists. The First assumption is that God exists. Although many today deny His existence, Romans one describes how mankind in the beginning knew God. But then they wanted nothing to do with Him. They changed who He was into the creature, and therefore God gave them up. The second assumption we…
