Our Lord Jesus did not hesitate to rebuke hypocrisy.

SIX WOES. Luke 11:37-54. A Pharisee invited Jesus to dine with him (LUKE 11:37). Though this man was probably not converted, Jesus did not refuse to recline at table with him.

The Judgmental "Thou Shalt Not Judge” Diversion

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jan 28, 2017

Jesus said to “Judge with righteous judgment” (John 7:24). The Bible clearly gives every Born-Again Christian the authority and right to humbly discern and make the distinction between truth and error, right and wrong, good and evil.

In the pluralistic culture we currently live in the greatest 'sin' is intolerance and self-contradictory moral relativism runs rampant as judgments are suspended so that each person can define what is morally right or wrong for them. The Bible verse most often taken out of context to condemn those ...read more

Judgement Day Is Coming

Contributed by Howard Gunter on Nov 17, 2017

Jesus will judge the nations (peoples) of the world on judgement day.

This reading uses the separating of sheep and goats as a means of illustrating how Our Lord will separate the righteous from the unrighteous on that Judgement Day. The use of the sheep and goats as an illustration always amuses me. Years ago, on the mission field in the Dominican Republic, I was ...read more

The Black Sheep

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Oct 7, 2021

Jezebel was the stimulus that moved King Ahab to violate the Torah and turning to evil and idolatry. Something similar was happening in Thyatria. Don't let it happen in your church.

No Other Gospel

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 11, 2019

To add anything to the gospel of the grace of God is to deny the efficacy of the Cross of Jesus.

NO OTHER GOSPEL. Galatians 1:1-12. From the outset, the tone of the Apostle Paul’s letter to “the churches of Galatia” (Galatians 1:2b) is one of disappointment. The opening signature “Paul, an apostle” is immediately followed by a negative assertion - “not from men nor through man”; and a ...read more
