Send us Fan Mail   In today’s study, we see where Paul warned us that a time will come when people reject sound doctrine. They will do this because they are driven by lusts and itching ears, turning instead to entertaining fables. Timothy (and us) must stay sober, endure afflictions, minister boldly, and prove our calling. Paul was nearing death, and his mind was on finishing his course and keepin...

Send us Fan Mail   In this episode, we discuss how Paul reminded Timothy that he had witnessed Paul’s doctrine, character, suffering, and endurance. He had seen Paul’s persecutions and God’s deliverance. All who live godly in Christ Jesus will face opposition as evil men get worse and worse. Timothy needed to continue in the truth he had learned through Scripture. True Scripture is God‑breathed an...

Send us Fan Mail   Today, we discuss how Paul warned Timothy that modern believers would become lovers of pleasure, and be diverted by entertainment, amusement, and technology. These distractions weaken fellowship, stewardship, worship, and faithfulness. Paul described people who only had a form of godliness, were easily led astray, and were ever learning yet never reaching the truth. The main iss...

Send us Fan Mail   In our 48th Q&A, which is also our 4 year anniversary of doing these fan-favorite episodes, Bro Donnie and Bro Sam refute the Once Saved Always Saved doctrine. Scripture repeatedly warns real believers can fall away, be cut off, or suffer judgment. Passages like Hebrews 6, 2Peter 2, John 15, Romans 11, and others show salvation is conditional, which means it is based on beli...

Send us Fan Mail   In today’s study, we go over the passage where Paul explains that in the last days people will be selfish, heartless, covenant breakers and totally untrustworthy. They will slander others, lack self‑control, act fiercely, despise good, betray loved ones, behave rashly, be arrogant, and love pleasure more than they love God. These sins destroy relationships, corrupt churches, and...

Send us Fan Mail   In this episode, we dig in to where Paul explained that the sins that happen in the end‑times stem from self‑love. They lead people to covetousness, boasting, pride, and self‑pity. These things produce blasphemy, disrespect toward God and others, and rebellion against parents and all authority. As self‑will grows, people become unthankful and unholy, losing reverence for God and...

Send us Fan Mail   In today’s episode we see where Paul instructed Timothy to avoid foolish and unlearned questions because they produce strife. He said that the servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle, skilled in teaching, patient, and meek when correcting those who oppose the truth. The main goal of we are to push for is that God grants them repentance because such people must be reco...

Send us Fan Mail   In this study, we discuss Paul warning Timothy to shun profane and vain babblings, which lead to ungodliness and destroy faith. This led us to talk about Hymenaeus and Philetus, whose false teaching was spreading like a canker, or gangrene. Despite all of these things, the foundation of God stands sure, sealed by His knowledge of His people. When we claim the name of Christ, it...

Send us Fan Mail   In today’s episode, Bro Donnie and Bro. Sam tackle a listener’s deep questions about divine healing, including: Is it God’s will to heal? Is healing part of His revealed will? Why did Jesus sometimes not heal—was it unbelief? Does “by His stripes we are healed” mean physical or spiritual healing? Can sinners be healed? Does faith function mentally or through trust? Does belief a...

Send us Fan Mail   In this powerful episode, we discuss how Paul taught that even when believers falter, Christ remains faithful and cannot deny Himself. He then warned us against unprofitable words because they subvert hearers from the truth. Paul told us to study so we will be approved unto God, able to rightly divide the truth. Studying scripture implants the Word within us, protects us from de...

Send us Fan Mail   In today’s study, our 4th in the Sermon on the Mount Series, we discuss how Jesus teaches us that believers must be truthful, avoiding manipulative oaths and living with integrity so vows become unnecessary. He connected swearing, lying, broken marriage vows, and bearing God’s name in vain. He teaches us against revenge, rather urging forgiveness, generosity, and love toward our...

God bless you all!

Send us Fan Mail   In today’s episode, we dive back in where we left off, as we were studying Paul’s 3 analogies of a soldier, an athlete, and a husbandman. He used these to show believers that we must labor, strive lawfully, and endure to receive the reward. He used powerful Greek terms to highlight our need of disciplined effort. He urges Timothy to consider and remember Christ’s resurrection, n...

Send us Fan Mail   In today’s study, we see where Paul urged Timothy to hold fast the sound doctrine he received, keeping it through the indwelling Spirit. We see the contrast between the ex-believers in Asia who turned away, with Onesiphorus who was a loyal helper of Paul. We also discuss how Paul encouraged Timothy to rely on the strength in Christ’s grace, to commit these things to faithful men...

Send us Fan Mail   In today’s episode, Bro Donnie and Bro Sam answer 5 listener questions, and they ranged from interesting to very difficult. They were asked why Jesus didn’t come before He did; whether tongues must be real languages and how to discern authentic Holy Ghost experiences; whether believers can feel shame at Christ’s appearing; whether the Hebrew man who exposed Moses altered Israel’...

Send us Fan Mail   In today’s study, we see how Paul opens this book, affirming his apostleship and the promise of life in Christ. He expresses his love for Timothy, recalls his sincere family faith, and urges him to stir up his spiritual gift. He reminds us that believers are given power, love, and a sound mind… not fear. Timothy is not to be ashamed of Christ’s testimony, recognizing salvation a...

Send us Fan Mail   Today’s study is our last one in 1st Timothy, and we discuss the charge Paul gave Timothy to instruct the rich not to be high‑minded or trust in uncertain riches. We should rather trust in God who gives us all things richly to enjoy. He stressed our need to do good, be generous, distribute to those in need, and communicate our blessings, which lays a foundation for eternal life....

Send us Fan Mail   In today’s episode, we discuss Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5:25-32, beginning with how reconciliation is an urgent thing because unresolved anger leads to divine judgment. Then we tackled the topic of adultery which took us to lust and the sin of coveting. We then move on to the topic of divorce, emphasizing that God hates “the putting away,” of divorce because it results in adul...

Send us Fan Mail   In today’s episode, we discuss how Paul encouraged all believers to “fight the good fight of faith” and to “lay hold on eternal life.” Paul emphasized that this struggle is spiritual, because it is to preserve the faith. Timothy is charged “in the sight of God” to keep his confession “without spot, unrebukeable” until Christ’s appearing. Paul then Jesus as the only Potentate and...

Send us Fan Mail   In today’s episode, we ask the question: Do you love money, or do you have faith? Paul didn’t warn about possessing wealth, but he did warn against desiring to be rich. He rebuked people who chase after riches, those guilty of having the “love of money.” These desires lead to “temptation, snares, and foolish and hurtful lusts. These are the things that drown men “in destruction...

Send us Fan Mail   In today’s episode, we talk about Paul’s warning that anyone who “teaches otherwise” and rejects wholesome, Christ‑given doctrine is a false teacher. False teachers are known by pride, ignorance, sly questions, strife, envy, railings, and corrupt thinking. Such men are destitute of the truth, driven by covetousness, and they also must be avoided. Paul contrasted their greed with...

Send us Fan Mail   Today’s Q&A has several powerful questions that we try our best to provide the best biblical answers possible, and these questions include: what happened at Gilgal in Amos and Hosea; whether the UFO phenomenon connects to the end‑times deception; whether Scripture teaches eternal conscious torment; what Jude meant when he spoke of “earnestly contend for the faith”; whether c...

Send us Fan Mail   In this episode, we discuss why Paul told Timothy to “use a little wine,” and that leads us to talk about water quality, medicinal use, Greek wordings, and Timothy’s stomach issues or anxieties. Paul then explains in vv. 24-25 how elders whose sins or good works become manifest, and some of them are open beforehand, and others later at the judgment. Entering chapter 6, Paul addr...

Send us Fan Mail   In today’s episode, we go over how Paul taught that elders who labor in doctrine deserve honor and material support, citing “not muzzling the ox…” because “the laborer is worthy of his reward.” Paul also warned us against receiving accusations without witnesses and commands public rebuke of elders who sin, so others may fear. He cautioned Timothy not to lay hands on any man sudd...

Send us Fan Mail   In this episode, we discuss how Jesus taught that believers must shine the light that God has given them.  The Lord saves us to be an influence to others, to bring glory to our Heavenly Father, and to live as salt and light.
