The “Now to Him” Doxologies in Paul’s Letters
There’s a certain electric charge in those final lines of Paul’s letters, where he breaks into what believers have come to recognize as doxologies—the “Now to Him” declarations that spark praise and proclaim eternal truths. They feel like an exhale after the dense theological meat Paul feeds his readers. If you’ve ever paused to linger
Why the Body of Christ Has No Covenant Relationship
The idea that the Body of Christ—the Church as Paul reveals it—has no covenant relationship is a tough pill for many to swallow. Especially when you’ve grown up hearing that covenant underpins everything spiritual, like a cosmic handshake between God and man. But here’s where everything shifts once you rightly divide the Word of Truth:
How to Defend the Gospel of Grace Against Legalism
It’s baffling how often the gospel of grace gets tangled up in a legalistic web, isn’t it? A beautiful message promising freedom and life becomes shackled by rules, dos and don’ts, religious checklists, and a weighing scale of righteousness measured by human effort. If you’ve wrestled with defending grace without watering it down—or worse, accidentally
The Distinction Between the Gospel of God and Gospel of Christ
What if I told you the Gospel isn’t just one neat package tightly wrapped with a bow? It’s actually a bit more layered, more nuanced, than many realize—especially when we talk about the difference between the Gospel of God and the Gospel of Christ. It’s a distinction that can totally change how we see grace,
Understanding the Judgment Seat vs. Great White Throne
Let’s just get this out there: If you’ve ever stumbled over the Judgment Seat of Christ versus the Great White Throne judgment, you’re not alone. These verdicts—so often misunderstood, even feared—actually reveal depths of God’s justice, mercy, and love that most people miss. If you’re a grace believer like me, who holds fast to rightly
The Role of the Holy Spirit in Grace Dispensation
If you’ve ever wrestled with the way God operates through different dispensations, you’re not alone. I get asked a lot about how the Holy Spirit fits into the picture, especially when it comes to the dispensation of grace. There’s this layered complexity in Scripture that can trip up even seasoned believers unless you’re rightly dividing
Why We Don’t Seek Signs to Confirm God’s Word
You ever notice how some folks are constantly fishing for signs from God, like He’s some cosmic slot machine doling out answers? The moment uncertainty creeps in, the go-to move is scanning the skies, looking for flashing neon lights or miraculous confirmations. But here’s the kicker—if you truly know the Bible from the perspective of
The Hope Laid Up in Heaven for Believers
There’s something almost radical about the hope believers carry with them—a hope not rooted in what can be seen or touched, but something set far beyond this temporal world. When Paul talks about “the hope laid up for you in heaven,” he’s not talking about some vague wishful thinking or a hazy afterlife comfort. No,
The Role of Conscience in the Age of Grace
Conscience plays a surprisingly tricky role in the life of a believer living under grace. It’s one of those things that many talk about, but few seem to fully grasp—especially when you’re coming from the clear, sharp lens of rightly dividing the Word of Truth. The Age of Grace doesn’t throw conscience out the window;
The Difference Between Prophetic Fulfillment and Mystery Revelation
Sometimes when you dive into Scripture, especially when wrestling with prophecy, it feels like you’re reading two different Bibles at once. There’s this straightforward, crystal-clear stuff—prophetic fulfillment—that hits you like a bam! Then there’s the elusive, deeper revelation that seems veiled in mystery, reserved only for those who really dig and rightly divide the Word
