When most folks, Christian or not, think of adoption today, they think of infertile couples who adopt a child. They bring an outsider into their family. This outsider has little to no say in the matter of who will choose them; they do not pick their adoptive parents. This holds true in the often-neglected biblical … More Study – “Adoption” – 10/14/2026

ACTS 17 ACTS 17:26 Today, we are back on one of my favorite topics, Sovereignty, and specifically the Sovereignty of God. The main text I chose (see list of 45 possibilities below) describes God in three ways: Creator – made of one blood… Constant – determined the times before… Control – appointed the bounds… Only … More Study – “Divine Sovereignty” – 08/05/2026
I have often looked gratefully back to my sick chamber.

SCRIPTURE JUDE 3 COMMENTARY/STUDY Some believe that when we speak of Common Salvation, we mean Salvation that is universal, that it is freely offered to all mankind.
