1 Timothy 2 Commentary

1 Timothy 2 Commentary “For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus”. Verse 5.

We are all bornContinueContinue reading “1 Timothy 2 Commentary”

2 Thessalonians 2 Commentary

2 Thessalonians 2 Commentary Is it for nothing, then, that I have kept myself pure and have not committed sin? The Thessalonians probably have this question in mind as they agonize over the false impression that the Day of the LORD is past. Have the wicked escaped punishment? The Day of the LORD is alwaysContinueContinue reading “2 Thessalonians 2 Commentary”

1 Thessalonians 5 Commentary

1 Thessalonians 5 Commentary Verses 1 to 3 provide a nice throwback to the teachings of the LORD Jesus as recorded in the Gospels. It’s like Paul was there in person! The date for the big day remains unknown. The day of the LORD comes with destruction…whatever the LORD didn’t plant will be uprooted. ButContinueContinue reading “1 Thessalonians 5 Commentary”

1 Thessalonians 4 Commentary

1 Thessalonians 4 Commentary “Each of you should learn to control your own body”. Verse 4. This injunction demolishes the LGBTQ argument! That’s what the Word does; it demolishes all arguments.

1 Thessalonians 3 Commentary

1 Thessalonians 3 Commentary Trials or suffering or persecution. We are destined for them. Don’t be unsettled by them. Heavy statements indeed!

But guess what, theirContinueContinue reading “1 Thessalonians 3 Commentary”

Chapter 1 and its foundationalContinueContinue reading “Colossians 2 Commentary”

Colossians 1 Commentary

Colossians 1 Commentary In 6 verses, Paul (and Timothy) unpack the identity of Jesus. Who is Jesus? Image of the invisible God. We look at the Son and see the God who cannot be seen. We probably also see what mankind was like before the fall of Eden. Since the Son is also the CreatorContinueContinue reading “Colossians 1 Commentary”

Philippians 4 Commentary

Philippians 4 Commentary The more you have; the more you want; the more difficult it becomes to be content. Contentment may be the only missing item in the rich saint’s house. You need the strength of the LORD to be content when well supplied!Is it ever possible to be content when hungry? You definitely needContinueContinue reading “Philippians 4 Commentary”

Philippians 3 Commentary

Philippians 3 Commentary Two instructions. First: Rejoice in the LORD. Second: Watch out for “mutilators” who put confidence in the flesh. The two instructions go together because the “mutilators” can reduce the saint’s joy to zero. Mutilation is a term Paul uses to refer to the circumcision operation. Mutilators would be the Judaizers who demandedContinueContinue reading “Philippians 3 Commentary”
