29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;– 1 Peter 1 10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh.

The Theology & Purpose of Suffering (Part 2-2): Paul, an Example of.
In Philippians 4:13 so many of us mistook that passage as a means to accomplish any endeavor; whether it be in academia, in sports, or in the work force.

The Most Neglected Parts of the Gospel (Part 2-2): Who We Are Before God.
As earlier mentioned the three popular Gospel presentations lacked any detail on God, and also the tracts and booklets earlier described. But not only the former lacked any truth on God but anemic on the issue of sin. All three tracts made only simple statements that we’re sinners as we’ve broken God’s laws, using RomansContinue reading “The Most Neglected Parts of the Gospel (Part 2-2): Who We Are Before God.”
The Most Neglected Parts of the Gospel (Part 1-2): Who God Is.
It is a surprising and shameful thing that God has been neglected in all of the most popular Gospel presentations. I believe that the chiefest reason for this is evangelical pragmatism that had its origin with the Billy Graham Crusades. Billy Graham meant well when he ignores doctrinal distinctions for the sake of reaching theContinue reading “The Most Neglected Parts of the Gospel (Part 1-2): Who God Is.”

The Wonders of Learning, Vengeance, & the Election Theft.
Have you ever learned something, after years of reading scripture, and realized a truth that was missed, or seen truth in a new light? Pastors and theologians have said over and over that when we study scripture, we’re only scratching the surface. Not because it is impossible to understand, but because it is full ofContinue reading “The Wonders of Learning, Vengeance, & the Election Theft.”
Thoughts to Start the New Years With – Psalms 49.
Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

The Qualitative Depth of God.
