The word “light” appears to be a sort of verbal shorthand emblematic of, “purity, truth, knowledge, prosperity, and happiness”. … The word here properly means exemption from death! … He has it by his very nature, and… Please visit our Outreach Web site! ~ Home Page .

Is there a reward for giving a thirsty person a cup of water?! … Jesus tells us that if we only give a simple cup of cold water to a thirsty person, we will never loose our reward. One has to wonder just what that reward is. Especially if it is not our Salvation in Him. Please visit our Outreach Web site! ~ Home Page .

From, Barnes’ New Testament Notes, we read, “It is evident from the epistle, that Paul regarded him [ Philemon ] as a sincere Christian; as a man of strict integrity; as one who could be depended on to do right.”. Can the same be said about you? Are you a sincere Christian? Are you a person “of strict integrity; as one who could be depended on to do right.”? Please visit our Outreach Web site! ~ H...

“Here our apostle answers an objection which possibly Philemon might make: thus, Quote– Onesimus ran away from me; what reason have I to receive him again? –End-Quote”. (FROM: Expository Notes with Practical Observations on the New Testament by William Burkitt) Who are the Onesimus people today, in our lives? Do we act similar with people today?

Regardless of any issue being mild or severe, how would it get resolved if Paul’s means of addressing Philemon was used by us with others we counsel and / or correct today? I think the answer to that question is… Please visit our Outreach Web site! ~ Home Page . On Social Media we are found on our Public page at Twitter. A Log-In is not required for this page.

With all the people this letter is addressed to, we need to note this, “The persons to whom the epistle is directed; first, and eminently, to Philemon the master…”. Despite Philemon not being the only addressee, he is the first and eminent addressee. Therefore, this letter’s assertion is strongly toward Philemon, even though not to him alone. (Partial quote from: Burkitt’s Expository Notes) Please...

Are you a fellow-laborer? One who joins in the day-to-day works or tasks of the church body of which, you are a part?

Notice this about some people who are ministers in God's church. “…they inculcate such doctrines as will make themselves popular, and as will give them access to the confidence of the people. They make it their first object to acquire influence as ministers of religion, and then abuse that in order to obtain money from the people. (From: Barnes’ New Testament Notes) Please visit our Outreach Web s...

All of us were sinners before being saved of Christ by His great sacrifice for us. Even now saved, we still sin! So it also was with people of the past like Paul and Titus. If all are first sinners, including all Biblical people like Paul and Titus, then how is it that anyone can be found as Paul writes to Titus? Please visit our Outreach Web site! ~ Home Page .

Our spiritual public office is that which is comprised of our Spiritual Gifting. Meaning, some can teach, some can preach, some can pastor, some can minister to others promoting healing and more. While not just our spiritual gifting, we need to remember that our spiritual and public office may mean we are virtually unseen in the performance of our spiritual duty, like Titus.

What are “all these things”? The next question we also need to ask is, are we seeing ALL these things happening now because we are THAT SPECIFIC generation of people?

There is solid reasoning for us having two bodies in 1st Corinthians. The first a natural body which, we all live in now. Then, a new body we will be raised into if we die here and now, or will be raised into, while alive!, when Jesus comes for us before The Great Tribulation period. Now watch as we get a better description of what we just… Please visit our Outreach Web site! ~ Home Page . On Soci...

God’s children should not only be sober as in not drunk with wine but, of a sober mind, being watchful for Christ’s return for us, heedful of circumstances and potential consequences; prudent and circumspect. They should be persons engaged in the sober, honest, and appropriate employments of the day. Please visit our Outreach Web site! ~ Home Page . On Social Media we are found on our Public page...

We found a clear definition of asleep and awake! On this subject, remember, being asleep is being unattentive to anything requiring our personal attention despite being in our waking hours of day. Even in everyday life, we need to be attentive to things, awake!, whose outcome is uncertain. That uncertainty is the reason we need to be awake, or alert, to the outcome. Please visit our Outreach Web s...

This week we examine, for when they shall say, peace and safety, when the Lord Jesus shall come, the world will not all be converted and the impenitent and wicked world will be sunk in carnal security when he comes. They will regard themselves as safe. They will see no danger. Sound like the end-times before the flood?! Please visit our Outreach Web site! ~ Home Page . On Social Media we are found...

Notice how this passage opens to the Thessalonians. It reads, “[1] Now on the topic of times and seasons, brothers and sisters, you have no need for anything to be written to you.”. The Thessalonians obviously, by how this verse is written, knew all that is needed to know of the times and seasons. Even the hidden return of Christ for His people before the Great Tribulation Period begins. In fact,...

Jesus’ own words are, “Stay alert!” That means that Jesus was emphatic and assertive when He said, “Stay alert!”. So, why do we read of these ten virgins falling asleep?

We are being emphatically told to stay alert! Not a suggestion or casual statement but, an emphatic one. In reading Matthew 25:1-13, we read again, “…stay alert, because you do not know the day or the hour.” In Barnes’ New Testament Notes we also read, “The coming of Christ to receive his people to himself is often represented under the similitude of a marriage – the church being represented as hi...

Matthew, Mark and Luke speak of “all these things” and “this generation”. Just what do Matthew, Mark and Luke mean by these terms? Are we “this generation”?

I hope you notice the divergence of each author as I spoke happens in a different earlier episode in this series. Yes, there is commonality but, some individualistic divergence is also very apparent. Notice how Luke says what Matthew and Mark said but, in a more compact form because he adds to it. Luke says… Please visit our Outreach Web site! ~ Home Page .

One thing we may also note is how all three authors allude to the fact that the time is near but, … not yet. “He first gives them a caution to beware of deception. They were to be constantly on their guard, as many would arise to deceive the people. Many shall come in my name. Not in the name or by the authority of Jesus, but in the name of the Messiah, or claiming to be the Messiah.” (From: Barne...

God provided ten laws for man to follow. We proved very quickly that, we could not follow what should be a simple set of laws, when compared to the many laws found in today’s world in just one country! The Ten Commandments are God’s Law. It is alluded to here in commentary by Family Bible Notes that if one could always, without failing once!, obey the Ten Commandments, then!, and only then, would...

Notice how two parables are used to make the point of what was already spoken in Matthew 24:36-39.
