The Letter Kills But The Spirit Gives Life

2 Corinthians 3:6 “The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.” Quite frequently we have heard this passage quoted to “prove” that it is unspiritual and displeasing to God to take the literal meaning of Scripture and seek to obey it.

Is Our Sincere Righteousness Like Filthy Rags?

Is Our Sincere Righteousness Like Filthy Rags? Richard Hollerman If you are like me, you have heard again and again that all of our good deeds are like “filthy rags,” thus we must not depend on them for our right standing with God.

Matthew 26:20

Did Jesus Sit for the Passover? Matthew 26:20 “Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve” (KJV) Most people who read this verse assume that Jesus “sat down” with the apostles in the upper room to eat the Passover meal on the night of his betrayal by Judas. They picture a scene similar to Leonardo Da […]

The members of our physical body must be considered as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry (Colossians 3:5). At the point […]
