    Paul here uses an interesting and unusual phrase: "reconciled." What exactly does it mean that Christ has reconciled us?

    WHAT DOES "RECONCILE" MEAN? It is bringing two things into agreement. - 2 Corinthians 5:18-21. - The key word in this passage is “reconcile.” This is not a word that we use much in sermons or Bible study, but it’s a good Bible word and it has an important truth to teach us. This ...read more

    Today it is not unusual to hear some of these questionable television preachers on television claiming they have all kinds of visions and revelations they have received from God.

    I do not doubt that many of these have received these visions and revelations they claim they have received, but knowing the life of some of these, I do doubt that these visions and revelations came from God. Some are quick to point out that many of the New Testament Saints had such visions. ...read more
