The Brown Bible

We as believers are always to trust absolutely in our wonderful heavenly Father. Any “Bible-believing” Christian (and should there be any other kind?) would acknowledge this in a heartbeat. In practice, however, who or what we REALLY trust in can be so subtle that even the most sincere among us might at times be outside of where we want to be.

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.

“Righteousness” basically means “rightness.” The earliest English versions of the Bible used the word, “rightwiseness.” When Romans speaks of one’s righteousness, or rightness, it refers to one’s rightness before God. It is the condition of being before God as one ought to be. This is not a side note when it comes to right believing. What constitutes being right before God, and why, is as fundamental as it gets.

Reading through the Bible built up my confidence in God and enlightened my understanding of the overall scope of the Word from Genesis 1:1 through Revelations 22:21. After I’d finished, the joy of accomplishment was overshadowed by seeing the Word fit together from cover to cover. I also developed a deeper reverence for God and a clearer understanding for the manner in which each character played a part in the unfolding of the story of God’s love to and for man.

Having recently come through tax time, I thought a few Biblical considerations about taxes and such might be appropriate.

Jesus’ words, “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s”, have been quoted many times to document the Master’s instructions as pertaining to a believer’s financial responsibility to his government as well as to God. The illuminating context of this statement, however, is usually ignored.
