James 1 Commentary

James 1 Commentary Verse 5 is a must-know and consequently a must-have verse. Who hasn’t pinched himself because of self-foolish decisions! These are desperate moments when you call yourself a fool. Self-stupidity hurts! Too much self-stupidity and men and women commit suicide. You don’t have to; the LORD gives wisdom but you must ask. YouContinueContinue reading “James 1 Commentary”

Hebrews 13 Commentary

Hebrews 13 Commentary The world’s view of angels is misleading. We think of all-white winged creatures. Both the New Testament and the Old Testament have a different view.

Hebrews 11c Commentary

By faith, Abel’s sacrificeContinueContinue reading “Hebrews 11c Commentary”

Hebrews 11 Commentary

Hebrews 11 Commentary We all have faith. We exercise faith daily, but it’s often ungodly – faith without an acknowledgment of the Creator God.

But how much of it is downContinueContinue reading “Hebrews 11 Commentary”
