When Joshua attacked the city of Ai, he used standard military tactics of deception. He deceived them into believing he had a smaller force than he did. He got them to come out of the city and separate from it by fleeing as in terror. But an ambush was set, and the city was destroyed. This same warfare tactic was used by…

Brer Rabbit was caught by a fox. From the jaws of the fox, he plead: “Please Mr. Fox, you can do anything you want to me, but please, please don’t throw me into that briar patch.” The fox then threw Brer Rabbit into the briar patch, which in essence freed the sly rabbit. The rabbit outfoxed the fox through wisdom. God outfoxed…
God tells us His ultimate purpose and will in Ephesians 1:9-10: Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even…
Spiritual Children of Abraham do not received the physical blessings of the nation Israel. Israel will indeed eventually inherit those blessing when the new covenant is put in place at the return of Christ. They will received these blessings because they were promised to them, not because of anything our country or any other country does for them. God will perform this…
The only post script in Paul’s epistles is found in Romans. In that short post script he reveals something very important, which can be life altering for believers.
Romans 8:18 speaks of the suffering of this present time, which makes clear that we will suffer during this lifetime. The common belief that God will heal us and help us solve our problems is borrowed from a different time when God was doing something special. When Christ was on earth healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, cleansing lepers and…
The body of Christ has a unique origin. The chief of sinners was the one chosen to preach the glorious gospel of grace. It has a unique character. We have liberty in Christ. We follow him not because of laws and ordinances, but because of what he has given us in himself. We have a unique mission: to see all men saved…
Why is it tat those who believe the scriptures the way we do call themselves Grace Believers. Isn’t ‘grace’ something that all Christians claim? We call ourselves grace believers because we don’t borrow doctrine from other dispensations. When God reached down to Saul of Tarsus, the only thing left in prophecy was the wrath of God. But rather than dispensing wrath at…
1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. How does one see right division in this verse? Quite simply by what must be believed on to obtain eternal…
God’s gifts to us are his Word and the local churches. The fact that there are self-governing local churches at all is astounding in light of how God interacted with Israel. In Israel, God had one dwelling place, and they were bound by His law to come up to that dwelling place three times a year. But after the fall of Israel,…
