1 Corithians 4 Commentary

1 Corinthians 4 Commentary In addition to jealousy and quarrels, it appears there is also boasting. One believer feels superior to the other, or one thinks this apostle is better than the other.

1 Corinthians 3 Commentary

1 Corinthians 3 Commentary Is acting like a mere human evil? What is Paul talking about?

1 Corinthians 2 Commentary

1 Corinthians 2 Commentary As we have all seen, apologetics – the defense of Christianity and God’s existence – hasn’t achieved much. You may get a standing ovation but there isn’t much else.

Romans 13 Commentary

Romans 13 Commentary A good servant of the LORD will obey traffic rules even when cameras are off, and pay taxes even when the taxman hasn’t called.
