    “To prepare the way of the Lord,” what does that mean? Is John calling the people to do some road work? Is John saying that we need to go out and get hired on with road crew?

    1. DREAMING UP SCHEMES. Micah 2:1-11. The specific sins which will bring judgment upon Jerusalem are now outlined.

    The gift of wisdom.

    ASK WHAT I SHALL GIVE THEE 1 Kings 2:10-12; 1 Kings 3:3-14 After his sordid affair with Bathsheba - and his engineering of her husband’s murder - David had taken Bathsheba as his wife: but the child of their infidelity had died.

For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ” (GALATIANS 1:11-12). Paul elaborates on this assertion throughout the rest of ...read more

    'For the hardness of your heart he wrote this precept' (Mark 10:5).

    A NAUGHTY QUESTION. Mark 10:2-12. The Pharisees’ question about divorce was worse than mischievous in that it, like many of their questions addressed to Jesus, was asked with the intention of “tempting” Jesus into saying something that would cause offence (MARK 10:2). I assert this on two ...read more
