When we say that God INSPIRES a man to write something, it means He literally breathed those words into that man.   The man then wrote those words on some paper.  The thoughts are recorded, but those thoughts DID NOT COME FROM THE MAN! They came from God.   Remember that Paul said, “All scripture is given… Read More »

In 2 Timothy 3:16-17, the word “inspiration” is a very interesting word.  To INSPIRE means, literally, “to breathe into.”  To EXPIRE means to “breathe out.”  To the best of my knowledge, when someone passes away to the other side, a lot of time the medical person in charge will say something like, “John Doe EXPIRED… Read More »

2 Timothy 3:16-17, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”  Pay CLOSE ATTENTION to what Paul is saying,  he says that ALL SCRIPTURE, all of the Word of… Read More »

Paul said in 2 Timothy 2:15, “…………a workman that needeth not to be ashamed.”  The implication is that there are some workmen who will be ashamed.  There are already workmen who are ashamed, who are beat down and defeated in life, and who do not have to be that way.  Again, if you STUDY the Word, you… Read More »

We need to learn how to let the things of God be FIRST according to Matthew 6:33!  Let the time run out on doing the dishes.  The Word of God is more important than dishes.  If you have to make a choice between the Word of God and cleaning up the kitchen, let the kitchen… Read More »

You want to show your Father that you got your homework completed.  You want Him to see your “A’s” when you bring them home.  You want your Father to take time to sit down and listen to what you have learned in school.  This is what we should do, and that is what the Father… Read More »

Notice that Paul said to STUDY!  Very few people STUDY the Bible.  Many people just casually glance at it.  There  is a difference between STUDYING and READING.  You can read something and not even know what you have read.  When you study something, that means that you have spent some time with it.  You have… Read More »

It would seem to me that once I found out that I am being destroyed for a lack of knowledge, it should inspire us to gain some knowledge, so that I will not be destroyed.  If God is the One Who is trying to beat me up, He is doing Himself a disservice by telling… Read More »

Think about it, God is soooo Gracious and Merciful that He gave us a textbook that tells us all about God.  Your faith can never be strong if you are ignorant of the Word of God.  That means, if you want your faith to be strong, you will have to do some STUDYING, and become… Read More »

In Hosea 4:6, it is obvious that God is NOT talking about academic knowledge, because we have an enormous amount of “intellectuals” on the planet.  You can go to school physically, or get the courses on video recordings, or “stream,” due to the advent of home computers.  You can even do the courses through the… Read More »
