Judy forwarded an e-mail to me, which some of you have probably seen before. “The Hillbilly’s Ten Commandments:” Just one God. Honor yer Ma & Pa. No tellin’ tales or gossipin’. Git yourself to Sunday meetin’. Put nothin’...

This is a controversial passage of scripture. In fact, there are a great many controversial sections of Romans from here to chapter 12. It is my plan, at this point, to do my best not to bog down in the squabbles and contentions, unless it is absolutely necessary....

I readily admit that this study of ours is basically doctrinal – it is theological. It is an attempt at a literal exposition of the Word of God. There are a lot of churches and a lot of pastors, whose preaching begins with a problem, or with an everyday...

I would like to take our message from last Sunday night, and skew it just a little bit, to give us a different perspective of these verses. Don’t forget, or ignore, what we said last week. Let’s just come at the subject of spiritual-mindedness from a...

The only time that most of us think about cloth is when someone comes along wearing a new kind of clothing. I know that some of you ladies think about it for sewing and other things, but men in particular hardly ever give it a thought. And yet, for thousands of years...
