God’s Word is truth. In life, one must eventually choose what he holds to be the standard for what is and what is not truth when it comes to the things of God. I choose God’s Word, the Bible (as originally written). Everyone eventually makes a choice. Choose wisely.

The parables of the Gospels are interesting from a number of perspectives. Many people have lauded the brilliance of the parables in so clearly and convincingly communicating Jesus’ message in a way easily related to by the masses. I have no doubt that Jesus used parables at times to communicate clearly, though the only recorded time he was ever asked about his purpose for using parables, his response was quite different.

Are you limiting God’s might by mere circumstances? I invite you to open your mind enough to let the Creator of the Universe help you out of your troubles.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not reckon sin? I should say so!! Now THAT would be quite the deal to get in on would it not? Who is it that gets to have this amazing grace? The record continues on to show through Abraham that “this blessedness” has come to the Gentiles (uncircumcision) as well as to “the circumcision.” It shows that they who walk in the steps of the faith of Abraham receive the Righteousness of faith whether they are of the circumcision or uncircumcision…

The key to maintaining the unity of the spirit is not to endeavor to become more like one another. It is to continually recognize that our differences are relatively insignificant compared to what we share.

Tithing (paying one tenth) is based on the Old Testament law which we are no longer under. But what about today in this administration of grace in which we live?

Believers can certainly give one tenth of their incomes if they want to and even correctly call it their tithes since “a tenth part” is all the word “tithe” means, but there is no commandment in effect today to do so. Giving is encouraged in the New Testament, but there is no statement as to how much.

“Pride goes before a fall” has been a devastating expression for many Christian believers. They don’t understand it, and they get it used against them. Often there has been some wonderful believer faced with adversity who has made up his mind to go for it, to trust God, to choose to believe that his efforts with God’s help will bring to fruition his dream. Upon sharing his optimism with some other supposedly more seasoned “believer.” The latter feels compelled to deflate his tires and does so with, “Watch out. Pride goes before a fall.” Forgive me. I have an emotional response to this one, having seen it used by God’s people to hurt others of His people and dissuade His purposes.

I am very much in favor of prayer, lots of it, and the last thing I would ever want to do would be to demean those who laud “the power of prayer.” I know what they (most of them) mean by this expression, and I believe their hearts are in the right place. But words have meanings. It matters what we actually say, not JUST what we mean.

We have been so blessed and helped in our lives because we have learned how the Bible interprets itself. We know that the Scripture interprets itself in the verse, or in the context, or where it has been used before and lots more. I wrote a book that came from a class that I taught titled “How to Read the Bible for Understanding and Power” (which may be purchased from The Brown Bible Book Store). Here is how I ended the chapter on “How the Bible interprets itself, with a little editing just for you.
