In chapter 11, Paul addressed the problem of false teachers. This is a subject that always gets my attention because the enemy is always so active in this area. Think of it. He has this act down cold. He used false teaching to persuade Eve to disobey God’s clear instruction to not eat from the…

I’m going to let you in on something that I struggle with. It’s a sin that I have a very hard time getting victory over. I know it’s a sin. I confess it, but I have yet to conquer it. It’s been a problem in my life for a very long time, and I would…

Sometimes ya just have to step in it and let the chips fall where they may. In my commentaries, I always talk about the part of that day’s reading that grabbed my interest.

I love the message from verse five. This is the account of how God called Jeremiah. God said, “Before I formed you in your mother’s body I chose you. Before you were born I set you apart to serve me. I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.” This is not a new…

Most of you probably know that 1Cor 13 is called the love chapter. It’s one of the most popular chapters in the Bible. But we’re not going to talk about that today. I want to look at chapter 14:1-25, where Paul said that all the spiritual gifts are great, and that we should desire them…
