COMMENT I have often written on the subjects of “Christians and Their Duty to Government” and “Government and Its Duty to the People.” The preface to today’s article states: Romans 13 isn’t a slogan or a scare tactic; it’s a doctrine. David Mitzenmacher offers a confessional response to recent misuse and misunderstanding of civil authority. … More Covenental Look at “Romans 13” – 01/20/2026
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plain of dignity and discipline. M.L. King Jr.; “I Have a Dream” speech was delivered during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, … More Study – “Freedom” – 01/19/2026
I will not comment at length, but it is important to note that there are many views on what constitutes the “Gifts of the Holy Spirit.” A quick Google search for an image showed a majority of seven gifts, followed by nine, and some with lists so long I did not bother to count. I … More Devotional – “Gifts” – 01/13/2026
TEXT Philemon – Full Chapter Philemon – Overview COMMENTARY Philemon was an inhabitant of Colosse, a person of some note and wealth, and a convert under the ministry of St. Paul.

COMMENT I know very little about Mr. McConaughey other than he stars in films. I do, however, agree with his quote, which is germane to today’s Devotional/Study. I am also familiar with folks who feel life is not fair and they are entitled to privileges that are not promised to them by God or the … More Devotion/Study – “That’s not Fair” – 01/07/2026
ROMANS 8 ROMANS 8:28 COMMENT About a decade ago, Grace to You Ministries published one of John MacArthur’s sermons in a series entitled “Frequently Abused Verses.” Our verse for today was the basis for one of them under the title “For What “Good?” Is God Working All Things Together? Why, or how, is this verse … More Friday’s Feature Quote – 01/02/2026
ROMANS 3 ROMANS 3:23 COMMENT and CONTEXT When we think of indictments, we think about the law, grand juries, and criminals. Rarely does a day go by when some local, state, or federal authority is not indicting someone or being indicted themselves. It is rare for most folks to think of having their own indictment … More Devotional – “Indictment” – 04/21/2025
Romans 3 Romans 3:10–11 COMMENT and CONTEXT Do you remember yesterday’s devotional when we unpacked Hosea 10:12? We focused on the last two phrases: it is time to seek the LORD, until He comes and rains righteousness on you. Looking at today’s text, we should easily see the contradiction in the Bible. Hosea calls people to … More Devotional Thought – “No One” – 04/02/2025
The title of this devotional is “The Visible God,” but the image above (from the Hymn we all sing) claims God is invisible. Are we quoting the Bible wrong? Have we found a contradiction in it? Or maybe our Theology is weak? Actually, none of the above, as our devotional will note God in His … More Devotional Thought – “The Visible God” – 12/27/2024
Yes, posted a day late due to sketchy internet, Mia Coppa. I recently read an article that said statements like this confuse one’s perspective on Salvation. Really? It is clear to me, and I would venture to say, even the most casual of individuals studying Reformed theology that Luther is herein referring to the Five … More Sunday Sermon Series – “Faith Alone” – 12/08/2024
