Stalking
Wouldn’t it be nice to see this out your front door every morning? photo by Riaan Erasmus, South African friend and companion when we shot this.
It’s Complicated
Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God. 1 Corinthians 10:32 NASB No offense – Paul’s exhortation is frankly impossible. How can we not offend either Jew or Greek? We read this verse without allowing it to prick our consciences. If I claim that Yeshua is the Messiah,…
Who’s in Charge?
So, too, if, while in her husband’s household, she makes a vow or imposes an obligation on herself by oath, and her husband learns of it, yet offers no objection – thus failing to restrain her – all her vows shall stand and all her self-imposed obligations shall stand. But if her husband does annul…
Apocalyptic Slander of God's Word
Here is a billboard that I saw in South Africa. It underlines the fact that nonsense like this only diminishes the value of God’s word. What else are people going to think when “the Bible guarantees it.” We must resist and oppose this kind of slander.
Déjà Vu All Over Again
“These men are throwing our city into confusion, being Jews, and are proclaiming customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.” Acts 16:20-21 NASB Being Jews/ being Romans – This century is the second first century.

Pollution Control

You Must Be Kidding!
to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: 1 Corinthians 1:2 NASB Saints – How is it possible, how is it even conceivable…
Belaboring the Obvious
But shun foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law; for they are unprofitable and worthless. Titus 3:9 NASB Disputes – Sermon after sermon, article after article, book after book – all about the place of the Law in the life of a Christian. I wonder if Paul wouldn’t throw up his…
Dabar in Dayton
Last Friday and Saturday I conducted a conference/seminar in Dayton. Five guys who are regular readers of Today’s Word decided that they wanted me to speak to a larger group face-to-face. So we arranged for a Friday evening and all day Saturday. I must say they did a spectacular job. There were about 50 attendees….
Event Horizon
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant, John; Revelation 1:1 NASB The End – There is hardly a single book in the Bible subject to greater contextual folly than…
