Tiger Woods is just the latest high-profile person to be exposed as an adulterer. Senator Max Baucus is another. Woods gets more attention because he is better known and because of so many women being connected to him. Whether it is one or over a dozen, adultery is the same: it [...]
It is abundantly clear that sacrifices offered by imperfect men never have and never will be sufficient to remove sins. In fact, even under the Old Testament—a revelation from Almighty God—the sacrifices of bulls and goats only reminded people of their sins. Note, the sins were not “rolled forward” as some wrongfully conclude. Rather, they [...]
In Hebrews 9:23-28, shows animals were sufficient for the earthly tabernacle and ministry of men, but not for the heavenly. Jesus had to offer His blood in the Holy Place, heaven. He did this before God for us, that is, on our behalf; once and for all.
Jesus appeared the first time to put away sin. [...]
Hebrews 9:16-22 tells us the death of Christ was essential. The New Covenant could not be established without it. Remission of sins would be impossible if He did not shed His blood.
The first covenant was established with the blood of animals; the second with the blood of Christ. Hence, the latter is far superior to [...]
In Hebrews 9:11-15, the writer previews what he will discuss in the rest of chapter 9 and all of chapter 10. His lists many things about Jesus, His function, and the purpose of His advent.
1. High Priest.
2. Built a greater tabernacle.
3. Used His blood, not that of animals.
4. One sacrifice, not many.
5. For redemption, including [...]
“If a ruler pays attention to lies, All his servants become wicked” (Prov. 29:12).
We can see this truth played out in modern and ancient times. Great kings of the past have devastated their kingdoms by listening to lies. The more they listened, the more corrupt their governments became. Eventually, there comes [...]
In this section of Revelation, Christ addressed each of the seven churches of Asia about their situation. There are a few things that stand out in these letters that will help us as we examine the churches of today, including the one of which we are a member.
Interesting Observations
The seven churches [...]
By Revelation 21 the destruction of God’s enemies is complete. Babylon was defeated in Revelation 18:20, the beast and false prophet in 19:20, and Satan in 20:10. The last two chapters give us a glimpse of the Christian’s eternal home. No doubt, this encouraged those Christians who first received the letter [...]
In the first section of Revelation 19 (vv. 1-10), we see Babylon’s destruction. Its corruption led to its downfall and many wept over it because of their loss. This Babylon, Rome, would never rise again.
The second half of Revelation 19 tells us about Christ and His victory over the beast and false [...]
Revelation 18 and part of 19 discuss Babylon’s destruction. In the rest of 19 and on through 20 we read about Christ’s victory and how the faithful will partake in it.
The message of Revelation 18:1-19:10 is the complete downfall of Babylon at the hand of God. Babylon, Rome, is extremely corrupt (Rev. [...]

The writer gives us a good overview of the first tabernacle. It would be nice to see it today as it was then; no doubt an amazing structure. Yet, it was temporary and significantly inferior to what we have now.
Take note that the ark of the covenant contained three things: 1. The golden pot that [...]

This is a great spot to put a small blurb with some information on what your blog is all about. Use a "Text" widget in your "Mid Footbar" sibebar options in Wordpress. Whatever you put in the title will show about and whatever you put as text (or html) will show right here! Or you can put a menu, a calendar, or any list of links you like. The footer is your oyster.
