The “Star of Bethlehem” could not have been the way it is portrayed in traditional pictures. It could not have been a super brilliant “star” that aimed a beam of laser-like light on the stable in which was the manger where the baby Jesus lay.

The thirteenth chapter of Romans has been erroneously used to proclaim that all disobedience of one’s government is categorically immoral, contrary to God’s Word, the Bible. Many Bible versions even translate the early verses of this chapter in a manner that clearly conveys this message.

Miracles and healing are not dead today, nor are they reserved for the ultra-pious. God’s people can and do see them happen all the time. Would you like to see them happen in your life?

“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.

Are there two “natures” alive and well in each child of God, an old sin “nature” and a new Godly “nature”, each actively pulling the believer one direction or the other? E. W. Bullinger (1837-1913) thought so, though the other great “E. W.,” E. W. Kenyon (1867-1948) disagreed. (See pages 153 and following of The Father and His Family.)
