The notes in these pages are the product of many years of regular Bible reading and study. These notes are devotional in nature and not intended to be exhaustive. My process is simple. As I read my Bible daily, I ask the Holy Spirit to draw me to some passage for meditation through the day. Trusting that I am led of the Lord, I do a brief study of the passage that sparks my interest.Having spent years doing this, I have collected a number of these devotional thoughts for every book of the Bible. I trust these devotional notes through the book of Galatians will be of help to you as you seek ...

Over the thirty-six years I have been in the Baptist ministry, certain questions have repeatedly come to my ears. They tend to come from young people, teenagers, coming into their own, and bold enough to ask. As children, they attended church because their parents told them to. They attended the church they did, because their parents told them to, and they “believed” what they did because their parents told them to. Some of them grew up in homes where their parents tried to teach them not only what the church they attended believed, but why. In some cases, that didn’t happen, but in ...

2020 came and I began to pray for reviving. I can’t say I know why, but I began waking up around midnight each night to pray that God would give us “a little reviving.” One night, around the middle of January, I said to God in one of those midnight prayer meetings, “Whatever you need to break in us that we might see a little reviving, I give you permission.” Wow, I could have never guessed how God would answer that! 2020 has provided us, not only with the normal things everyone has been dealing with such as: COVID-19, assembly restrictions, economic troubles, and a massive shift ...

It is the written record where God, Who knows no time, Who sees the future as the presentTells us what will happen in our future It is not a prediction. It is a record.

I am excited! There are few subjects that get debated as often as does that of repentance. Christians, even those who claim to be of like faith and practice (I mean independent, fundamental Baptists) split hairs and churches over it. The word repentance, in one form or the other, is found one hundred twelve times in the Bible. That’s plenty of material to discover what God has to say on the subject. This book is an attempt to do just that. If you are looking for me to give you all the answers on the doctrine of repentance, I am afraid you will be disappointed. I have my opinions, ...

Some years ago I engaged in a series of messages on the prayers of the Apostles. These men had requested of Christ that He teach them to pray. And He answered their prayer. It seemed to me that much could be learned by considering the recorded prayers of the Apostles in the New Testament. The series was a blessing to me and I created a graphic from the outline of the series as a whole. That graphic has been a prayer tool of mine for years. I am now able to release the message notes in this book format. May the Lord bless us all as we press ourselves to pray as the Lord taught His disciples ...

The Gospel According to Mark is the shortest of the four Gospels, and some believe it may have been written as a sort of “tract” meant to be read by a fast moving and “on the go” type of people.[1] It was, of course, written by Mark, or sometimes called John Mark in the Bible. Mark’s readership is a Roman person. His life is busy and fast paced He is always on the move and traveling He doesn’t have a lot of time for incidentals So Mark cuts right to the chase. Again a quote, “The abruptness with which he announces his subject, and the energetic brevity with which, passing by ...

What’s Love Got to Do With It? 1 Corinthians 13 Learn: Why the King James Bible uses the word charity instead of love. Every word of God is important. I do not believe we should carelessly change and modernize the old words used in the King James Bible. There is a reason the translators chose to use the word charity rather than the word love. Why was that? How to love you church Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it. How may we best love the church God has placed us in? Why charity is the greatest of faith, hope and charity. Surely all three of these are great qualities. But the...

Among enthusiastic Christians, controversy often arises. Should true Christians celebrate Christmas? First, there is the issue of the date.Some accuse the date of being pagan in origin. We do not know the exact date Jesus was born, and perhaps God didn't want us to know so we wouldn't make too much of it. "It's not the baby on the manger," they would say, "but the Saviour on the Cross that is important." Second is the issue of Santa ClausI recently heard a man say that the damnable doctrine of the Nicolaitans was the celebration of Christmas and that the name "Saint Nicolas" comes from the ...
