In the Beginning was the Word (John 1:1)
https://biblicalfaith.wordpress.com/2012/02/22/in-the-beginning-was-the-word-john-1-1
In the Beginning was the Word (John 1:1). February 22, 2012. August 3, 2016. The Gospel of John provides a fuller detail as to how God was reconciling the world to himself. The record of John is, however, unlike Matthew’s Gospel which begins with the Hebrew genealogical table which emphasizes the Lord’s lineage from David and Abraham (Matt 1:1-17). It is unlike Mark’s abrupt mention of the beginning of the gospel, which is marked by Jesus’ ministry inaugurated by the baptism by John (Mark 1:1-14). In the...

Is an endeavor to faithfully teach God’s word. The goals are quite simple, to learn what the Scriptures teach, and then to find areas in everyday life where these biblical principles can be applied. I am always updating my website so don’t be surprised if the next time you arrive we look different – this is a one-man show so to speak. Also, I personally do not like microwave articles that are “hot” for the second so I try not to write like that. Quick Link to Resources. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. You ar...

Is the Pastor In? A Brief Look at a Misnomer. December 19, 2014. October 24, 2015. The telephone rings and I answer it. The person on the other end asks the following question: is the pastor in? To which I reply, No, we have no pastors, but I’m an evangelist can I help you? The phone is silent for a few seconds, often followed with some stuttering; the refrain repeats uneasily, is the pastor in? Elders, Overseers, and Pastors (Shepherds). It is just seems ingrained within the world of Christendom that th...

https://biblicalfaith.wordpress.com/2014/08/24/modesty-in-speech
Modesty in Speech: Reflecting God’s Image in What We Say. August 24, 2014. April 25, 2016. Framed in another way, is there a fundamental connection between speaking and God? Again, is there a spiritual component to communication? Unless otherwise noted.]. In fact, both the origin and the dissolution of the universe is subject to the declaration word of God (2 Pet 3:5-7). Communicating is, then, a core activity of God; in other words, God speaks His Mind. Our Speech is to Reflect the Image of God. Email (...

https://biblicalfaith.wordpress.com/2014/12/19/lessons-to-be-learned-from-demas
Lessons Learned from Demas. December 19, 2014. November 27, 2015. Demas His name is on a list of names posted on the pages of the New Testament as one of the most notorious of Christian apostates.

From these limited Scriptural references what can be possibly learned from this Christian man? The Man in Question. He could either be a Greek convert or a co...

Obtainable Spiritual Goals – Controlling the Tongue
https://biblicalfaith.wordpress.com/2009/04/03/obtainable-spiritual-goals-pt3-2
Obtainable Spiritual Goals – Controlling the Tongue. April 3, 2009. November 12, 2015. I’ll be honest. I have not always used my tongue in the most positive, and constructive of ways. I could append my guilty plea with the excuse, saying, “it wasn’t me, the devil made me do it,” but such trifle excuses remove personal responsibility from the case. So what am I to do? Repent, seek the counsel of the Scriptures, and then implement that wisdom on a consistent basis. A Warning by James. The passage connects ...
