II Kings 14:5 And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the king his father. 6 But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the Lord commanded...

It's not quite that simple, my friend. The young man has gone to his former pastor, on numerous occasions.

… of someone who knows another has "ought against them" (Matthew 5:23) but yet does not go to that person because he feels that it would be futile based upon past responses? I think of Micaiah, who knew that Ahab hated him yet seemingly let the matter be knowing he could never make the matter...

Thank you. I had checked Clarke on verse 4, but see that he elaborates on this in his commentary of verse 24. It seems that most of his argument employs mainly human logic. It was interesting, though, to see where this idea might have come.

I Kings 17:4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. 5 So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the...

I am in charge of organizing our Father's Day service this year. I would like to get a nice gift for all of the fathers in attendance that day. I would like it to be a nice gift but not break the bank. We'll probably have somewhere in the neighborhood of 120 fathers here that day. Any ideas...

Not mysticism - divine inspiration. Not mysticism - spiritual discernment Not mysticism - divine revelation Not mysticism - divine illumination When the Holy Spirit indwells the believer, it may be a mystery how an infinite God can dwell in a finite being, but it certainly isn't...

Our thoughts and prayer are with you and your family, my friend.

We had the Primitive Quartet in our church a few weeks ago. The concert was very well attended. We have had major groups in the past that have also done well. We've had Greater Vision twice. The Tribute Quartet twice. The Inspirations a few times. The Kingsmen very couple of years. Mark Trammell...

Mark 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. 6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? 8 And immediately when...

We are in agreement here. I further believe that every man is afforded this same opportunity. I have been well, thank you. The Lord has opened the door for me to preach out quite a bit this summer and present our college ministry. I have been in Texas, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia...

The Ethiopian eunuch, clearly unsaved, was most certainly searching the Word of God trying diligently to understand it. His desire to understand more about the Word of God was met with divine intervention which resulted in his salvation (Acts 8:26-38). That, my friend, is the sovereignty of God.

My wife and I are headed to Texas this morning to make our way to Galveston to sail out Sunday afternoon on a 6-day cruise. After the cruise, I have the honor to preach in Brazoria, TX on Sunday and Montalba, TX on Wednesday. Your prayers for safe travels will be greatly appreciated.

I'm not selling anything, my friend. It has been my practice to read the chapter of each of the gospels that corresponds with the calendar day. This morning, I read Matthew 16, Luke 16, Mark 16 (which finished the book), and John 16. In the evenings, I read Acts - Revelation at a pace that will...

Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? I read this in my Bible reading this morning. I’m not wanting to create an argument, just sharing thoughts this morning. If my salvation is...

Agreed. But, we have to appropriate the work of Christ to our own situation. It is available to all who will believe and trust Him.

You and I have a much different interpretation of Acts 13:48 (see below). I believe that it must be interpreted in light of verse 46: Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge...

The way I see, my friend, you believe exactly as I do; but, in the end, I call it "free will" while you call it "predestination." How could Jesus love the rich young ruler when he wasn't part of the elect? Why would Jesus tell him how he could have eternal life if eternal life was not...

Captain Mochitasura Hashimoto is the man who sunk the USS Indianapolis just after midnight on July 30, 1945. Captain Charles McVey survived the sinking of his ship and was actually court marshaled (as a scapegoat, IMO) because hundreds of men lost their lives - many of which who were in the...

I believe the Bible teaches that the conviction of the Holy Spirit can be resisted (Acts 7:51) and ultimately rejected. I believe the gospel message can be rejected (Acts 13:46; 18:4-6). My motivation is not to stubbornly defend the free will position; my motivation is to declare what I believe...
