Spiritual Awareness Of Luke 7:11-24

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Oct 23, 2024

I could not come up with a better title. This narrative is a great example that we need to remember that Semitic people wrote the Bible. Therefore, we need to discover the spiritual lesson in the narrative. This narrative tells us to look to Jesus for help in all dark times.

Contributed by James Wallace on Oct 11, 2021

Why should anyone pay attention to Paul's letter to the Romans? Paul answers these questions decisively with regard to who He was, who Jesus uniquely was declared to be, and the grace God has provided to all men who will believe in HIm

As many of you know, I came to saving faith in Christ as an older teenager, and I began reading my Bible regularly, even then. One evening my dad poked his head into the room while I was reading my Bible. Now my dad was a rank pagan, but he said something interesting. He said, “Someday, I’m ...read more

An Open Door

Contributed by Joey Nelson on Jun 10, 2002

The apostle Paul would call this “An Open Door.” He refers to this thought in his first letter to the Corinthians. Today, we will be equipped in how to know a new opportunity or an open door when we see it and how to make a proper decision.

Timothy (Paul's Disciple) Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 3, 2022

This young man was so closely associated with the Apostle Paul that they shared his thoughts and work. However, we must assume the more profound knowledge of him conveyed by the Acts and Epistles and by the letters of counsel addressed by St. Paul to him personally.

Christian Excellence Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

What we see in this letter of Titus is that Paul was committed to excellence. The goal of God is not just to get His Son a bride, but to get Him a bride who is without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing. In other words, the goal of God is always perfection.

For some unknown reason a sculptor hacked an 18 foot high piece of marble into an awkward shape, and then left it unfinished to lay in a Cathedral courtyard in Florence, Italy. For about a hundred years it laid there until Sept. of 1501. The damaged block had been offered to other sculptors, but ...read more

Voluntary Slavery Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

Paul was happy to be a slave to his Master, the Lord Jesus Christ. The first thing he says in this letter to identify himself is that he is a servant of Jesus Christ. The word for servant is doulos, which is the word for slaves all through the New Testament.

In the early days of Israel if a man got into debt and could not repay he was not sent to prison, but was allowed to become the slave of his creditor. But it was not to be a permanent situation. When the 7th year came he would be liberated and be free to be his own master again, and begin to ...read more

Paul's Opponents Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 4, 2022

Did the Apostle Paul have enemies? He sure did! I never thought about it before, but I think he had many opponents (enemies) because His preaching must have ruffled many feathers. I love him because I love the books of the Bible he wrote and the stand he took for Jesus Christ.

America, Patriotism, And The Fear Of God

Communion Meditation No. 2: Common Everyday Things Series

Contributed by Herman Abrahams on Nov 27, 2004

Common, everyday things often take on special meanings. A letter becomes a treasure when it is the last one from a loved one. In similar fashion, Jesus took common, ordinary elements—unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine—and made them special.
