HEBREWS

April 15, 2018   Easter was a couple weeks ago, April 1 this year. We saw that after His resurrection, Jesus appeared to many, first to Mary Magdalene, then to Peter, James, the Twelve several times, to the two on the road to Emmaus, and to five hundred at one time. There could no doubting […]

April 8, 2018   What comes to mind when I say the word, Sabbath? Probably a lot of different things, depending on your background. If you’re into a certain music genre, you may think of the English rock group, Black Sabbath, with Ozzy Osborne, who is said to have pioneered heavy metal – also known […]

March 28, 2018   Our time in the Word today will impact you differently, depending on what kind of person you are. I would suggest on a normal Sunday morning, especially this time of the year – Palm Sunday, Easter – when church attendance ticks up a bit – I would suggest we primarily have […]

March 18, 2018   I’m sure by now in our study of Hebrews you have some very important questions. Like: Is the author warning his readers against backsliding or apostasy? For that matter, what is backsliding and what is apostasy? And, is there a distinction between the two? Can a Christian backslide? And recover? Can […]

March 11, 2018   We’ve all heard, seeing is believing. Or, I’ll believe it when I see it. Can you imagine what it would have been like to live in the past – when physical miracles were seemingly more apparent. Of course, Hebrews tells us faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction […]

March 4, 2018   On Friday, Tana and I were greatly privileged to attend Billy Graham’s funeral in Charlotte with many of you. The ceremony was very special. As is typical of most funerals, Dr. Graham was appropriately remembered and celebrated, with facts like, he preached the gospel to more people in person than anyone […]

February 18, 2018   As you likely know, last Wednesday, Nikolas Cruz, an expelled student in Florida marched into his former high school with an AR-15 and killed 17 people. Can we please lament the fact that 17 people, mostly teenagers were needlessly gunned down? Can we, as followers of Jesus, mourn the grievous loss […]

FEBRUARY 11, 2018   Quite often, I will attend a funeral where someone, the pastor or someone talking about the deceased, will suggest everything is okay because the departed is now an angel in heaven. God needed another angel and so He took our loved one away. They are now watching over us as some […]

February 4, 2018   The world is a mess. Our country is a mess. I would be hard-pressed to name a time of more political animosity and unrest in our nation’s history. Starting at the top – the President gave his State of the Union address on Tuesday. As is normal, one side of the […]

January 28, 2018   When I was in high school, a few years ago – yes, we had high school and it wasn’t a one-room school house – like everyone else, I bought a senior ring. As I recall, it was about a hundred bucks. Not that much today, I suppose, but then as a […]
