OVERVIEW OF BOOK “Act your age!” Was this ever mentioned to you when you were in junior high school, or high school? Is it something you have said to another person…maybe a daughter or son? In Paul’s book to the church in Corinth, he indicated that there are three kinds of people…

Continue reading →: Hebrews – Part 3 of 3 (angels and salvation, how saved)
What do angels have to do with salvation? Angels. We sing about them at Christmas time. We’ve watched movies with angels (Angels in the Outfield), read books with angels (Piercing the Darkness and This Present Darkness are two of my favorites) and viewed paintings with angels (The Two Angels Raphael).…

Continue reading →: Hebrews – Part 2 of 3 (What is faith?)
What is faith? How is it different from a general belief in God? Faith is a very important concept to understand. If you have faith in the Lord, you’re a believer, or a Christian, and can be assured of going to heaven when you die. If you don’t, you’re…

OVERVIEW The author of this book is unknown, though some scholars believe it to be Paul. It is written to “the Hebrews.” This book addresses a number of issues, including Jesus (who He is, His power, His role/purpose, and His superiority to angels), covenants (the old versus new), and faith…

In my prior blog entry on II Thessalonians – Part 1 of 2, I answered the $6 million question of “How is a person saved?” In this entry, I’ll answer a related question. I want to warn you though, that my answer may be highly unsettling to some. What will…

OVERVIEW OF BOOK Several thoughts jumped out at me when I read this short book written by Paul to believers at the church in Thessalonica. They are: Voice of the Martyrs, judgment, end times movies, welfare, and the goal of every Christian. Voice of the Martyrs – this publication highlights…

Continue reading →: 1 Thessalonians (How saved? Are there present and future aspects of salvation?)
OVERVIEW OF BOOK 1 Thessalonians was written by Paul (with Silas and Timothy) to believers at the church in Thessalonica. This book is a letter of encouragement to the Christians who have suffered affliction because of their faith. In it, Paul thanks them for their faith, hope and love. He thanks them…

Continue reading →: Colossians – Part 3 of 3 (Can you lose your salvation?)
Colossians 1:21-23 seems to indicate that salvation is predicated upon a person continuing in their faith, and thus it implies that salvation can be lost if one’s faith is lost. Is this true? I want to say at the outset that interpreting verses 1:21-23, especially verse 23, is difficult, and…

Continue reading →: Colossians – Part 2 of 3 (spiritual differences in saved vs. unsaved, how live)
What is the spiritual condition of a person who is not a Christian compared to one who is? I think many people may be surprised to learn that what separates a non-Christian from a Christian is more than a belief or faith in the Lord; there are real and important spiritual…

Continue reading →: Colossians – Part 1 of 3 (Can you know if others are saved? Is salvation a process?)
OVERVIEW OF COLOSSIANS Paul (with Timothy) wrote this letter to Colossian believers to address some problems they were having because of false teachings about Christ. They were being deluded by false teachers to believe that Christ alone is not sufficient for their salvation, and because of this, their salvation was…
