“Pay heed, you senseless among the people;And when will you understand, stupid ones?He who planted the ear, does He not hear?He who formed the eye, does He not see?He who chastens the nations, will He not rebuke,Even He who teaches man knowledge?The Lord knows the thoughts of man,That they are a mere breath.” (Psalm 94:8-11 … Continue reading When Will You Understand?
Bible Studies
For the past year the Lord has been having me write chronological studies of books of the New Testament. And I have been keeping those in collections on my computer by books of the Bible. My husband has encouraged me to create a new category and subcategories for those who might want to read these particular studies by book. Each one is from my personal devotions and they may not cover every verse or every chapter, and they might be in reverse order by chapter since that is the order in which they were posted, i.e. the last will appear first. This is a work in progress, so this may take me a while to recategorize and retag each post. I hope and pray this is beneficial to you.

The Pre-Trib Rapture, Israel, and Biblical Salvation
Many people in the USA are believing in a pre-tribulation rapture of the church, a teaching which was popularized in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s via the “Left Behind” book series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. And from what I understand, the doctrine of the pre-tribulation rapture was first popularized in the … Continue reading The Pre-Trib Rapture, Israel, and Biblical Salvation
