    based on 13 ratings
     | 4,012 views

    The Bible – a two-edged sword – has no dull edges (never dull or boring). It cuts in every direction (left & right politically; up & down socially; in & out spiritually) and can slice to the depths of any soul.

    I. TWO-EDGED MEANS IT HAS NO BLUNT SIDES – No Dull Edges! A. No Part Of It Is “Dull” - No Part Of The Bible Is Useless To The Believer Today 1. The New Testament and Old Testament together contain… a. 3,586,483 letters b. 773,693 words c. 31,373 verses d. 1,179 chapters e. and 66 books 2. No part ...read more

    Have you seen Jesus lately? Mark’s amazing witness reveals a complex Messiah. Jesus in our world is both comforting and disturbing.

    Read or quote Mark 6. It is tempting in this study to jump to Matthew and Luke for a broader perspective on these events recorded in Mark. I have purposely resisted doing that so far, so that Mark can tell the gospel to us himself and we can see Jesus with his witness. What happens when we ...read more

    Looks at fear and why we shouldn’t be afraid. Tom Clancy’s movie is used as the title, and little else.

    Just a few weeks ago, the movie "The Sum of All Fears" was released. This movie plays on the fear of international hostility, and allows our favorite Tom Clancy character Jack Ryan to save the day once again. The movie title though, seems to hit on a very timely topic these days: fear. Even though ...read more

    I’ll begin by saying that our second reading is a very complicated passage indeed. Indeed, it’s so complicated and obscure that I’ve decided to say nothing about this morning, and concentrate on our gospel reading, because it would be too long and involved to try and make sense of it now. So, ...read more

    Ask the world what they think of Jesus and they will say: good teacher, gentle man, loving person etc. Ask them what they think of Christians and they will say: mean spirited, angry, bigoted. God says, "I want My name back!"

I went to a 4 year Bible college, of which there are very few remaining. After having been in the ministry many years now, there are ...read more

Give you the essence of the Law while on one foot? I’ve studied the Torah for over fifty years and I ...read more
