Introduction to Galatians and a high level discussion of chapter 1

Pornography is a problem today and one that is not going away. If someone is trapped in its clutches, how can they escape?

The Bible has a great deal to say on this subject from the pen of one of the wisest men that ever lived and yet one that struggled with sexual immorality as much or more than anyone else. By the inspiration of the Spirit of God Solomon writes d...

Having gone over many doctrinal concepts now, I turned to the concept of sexual purity as a practical study. Over this and the next two episodes I will be dealing with sexual purity in Lord Willing an intensely practical way.Note that f...

I believe at the heart of the division between Arminianism and Calvinism is this question...is it God's fault? Here in this final message in the series I try to take up this question in detail.

It won't take long when talking about Calvinism and Arminianism before someone raises the question...what about free will? What does the scripture say about that subject?

The beginning of the process of salvation is the foreknowledge of God. We are foreknown not because of our great talents, but because He chose to set His love upon us. This episode goes through several references to foreknowledge and explains t...

Salvation is not one step, but many. Romans 8:29-30 lay out these five steps in some detail and help us to understand our salvation. This podcast goes through these five steps and seeks to outline them as best I can.

When man fell in the garden did they fall a little bit? Or a lot? And why?

Over the past several years I have had more discussions with people on this subject than on any other. In this episode I want to simply set the stage for what Calvinism and Arminianism are and why it is even worth discussing.

Why is reformed theology sometimes called covenant theology? Why do they believe in Amillennialism? What is post millennialism and why are there two different forms of premillennialism? These and other questions are addressed in this episode of...

I have now finished the book of Zechariah and wanted to at least make a reference to the subject of Covenant Theology and explain how an Amillennialist would interpret the book of Zechariah generally and a few verses in chapter eight or chapter...

The final chapter of Zechariah! A scene of chaos and yet beauty too. Of the most terrible disease yet unknown to man, yet the most blessed stream we have ever read of too. 

How will the Lord Jesus respond to this mourning as the people realize that they crucified the Son of God? They will be mourning, but He will be repairing and providing a way even at that time for their salvation.

Chapter 12 starts the final portion of the book of Zechariah. In this chapter we find the Lord Jesus coming at the second advent and delivering his people first defensively, then offensively, and then the mourning that results as the people of ...

Zechariah chapter 11 takes a turn in the book to remind us that there is a negative future for Israel as well as a positive. As they reject their Messiah He will reject them and will further raise up for them an unprofitable shepherd that will ...

The second part of God's direct call to His people to return. Here he calls them and then begins to tell them of a time when He will call them all back such that the land cannot even fit them all. What is the practical word to you and to me?

In Zechariah chapter nine we have a prophecy of the future of the land around Israel and a very direct call of God to the people of that day to return to the land of Jerusalem. People were living in other places in cities and different areas wh...

Zechariah chapter eight closes the period of answering that the Lord gives to the people as to what they were supposed to do about fasting. He shows the people again His grand vision of the future and reminds them to be righteous, not to fear, ...

Zechariah chapter seven begins the second part of the book. The Jews from Bethel ask whether they should continue to fast or if they could stop. It opens up the subject of fasting generally and allows us to see what God has to say about the sub...

Here is the final close-out of the eight visions of Zechariah with a final sign to be given in this most important year of Israel's history - the second year of Darius king of Persia.

Zechariah chapter five - a scroll flying through the air that also consumes houses...and a tiny lady in a basket with a lead cover that is carried off by two other women who have wings like a stork....what could it all mean? 

Have you ever had a "great mountain" in your life which just seems totally impossible to get through? Ever heard of a "mountain of laundry" even? The people of Israel faced a great mountain trying to get this temple built and this is a prophecy...

In Zechariah chapter three we have a bit of a movie scene with the shot panning out and around. It starts in tight with Joshua - a figure of Jerusalem, then it pans out to include angelic beings, and his friends, and ultimately...the stone with...
