Bible Study: “Hastening the Coming Day of God”
Ever since Biblical times, people have speculated as to the timing of the end of the world as we know it. Well-meaning scholars have foolishly set dates for Jesus’ expected return even though clearly warned in scripture that no one knows the day or hour but the Father in heaven. However, although we do [...]

Illuminations – Studying God’s Word for Life
I must have said the “magic words” a dozen times or more before anything changed in my life. It’s not that I didn’t want to become a Christian—it’s that I was trying to do it on my own. But no matter how hard I tried to clean up my act, I couldn’t. Not long after [...]

Illuminations: A New Plan
Sometimes God opens our eyes to a new perspective on important issues when we least expect it. There’s never been a question in my mind as to God’s plan and purpose for my life. Before I came to know Him, even before the foundations of the world, God called me to teach the Word. He [...]

How to "Unquench" the Holy Spirit
In I Thessalonians 5:19, we read Paul’s simple command to the believers in Thessalonica: “Do not quench the Spirit.” It’s short, concise and certainly minces no words!

Illuminations – Seeing Beneath the Surface
How hard can it be, I ask myself, to paint a kitchen once you decide that this time you’re going to hire a professional? That’s all there is to it, right? Just tell ‘em what you want and let someone else handle the job. Well, I recently found out that picking the right color was [...]

Malachi Starts in September
Last words usually have special significance, no matter the speaker. This is especially true for the last words of God before He closed out the times of the old covenant and commenced His 400-year period of total silence. Today, we hear what God had to say in those last words of His when we read [...]

Inductive Study Principle #1: “Context Is King”
A cardinal rule of interpretation when trying to understand a truth in the Bible is “context is king.” This means simply that any verse, passage, or teaching must be understood in light of what is being said in the verses that immediately surround it, in light of what the book as a whole is about, [...]
