Week after week, Glory to God, we have the privilege of preaching in Revival Services. Verse-by-Verse Bible preaching in fact!
God always honors His Word! “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” So God promised in Isaiah 55:11.
Still, a vital part of our Ministry over the past four years has been the video “Evening Meditation” Bible Classes as well.
Here’s a recent example …

1 Corinthians 15:58

Most of my time and effort go into our Revival Meetings these days. Our “Calendar” appears here on the Website. The Tab is at the top of the Home Page.
The rest of the time is invested in our video Bible Studies. We are currently concentrating on the Epistle of 2nd Peter.
Watch one and subscribe if you are “hungry” for the Word of God and are willing to give it 30 minutes every other night.
Whatever you do, stay IN the Word of God!

Though a strange tactic, I begin the lesson with a quote from the Apostle Paul. ” “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.” Romans 16:17
Clearly, this is a warning!
But Peter has a whole Chapter of such admonition, cautioning us all to avoid the wicked people he calls “false teachers.”
It’s 2nd Peter 2, with all of its 22 critically serious Verses!
By the way, the entire Book of Jude centers on this apostate crowd too, false Preachers of the Word of God!
Recently a young “modern” Pastor foolishly publicized these thoughts about the Bible. He suggested there were three “eras” (time periods) of Biblical interpretation.
One, the Roman Catholic period when man’s words (the Pope’s for example) took precedent over the Scriptures themselves. The Bible at times then could be “secondary!”
Two, this “preacher” posits, the Reformation era when the Bible was considered the sole Authority. No matter what man may have tried to contradict it!
Then three, our modern society, when (this heretic says) there are so many interpretations of the Bible (on the Internet, in print, taught in seminaries, etc.) that NO ONE VIEW could be considered correct! (This is “pluralism” applied to theology.)
SIMON PETER DEMOLISHES THIS SILLY CURRENT-DAY PHILOSOPHY IN A SINGLE CHAPTER! THEREBY WARNING US TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS BIBLE-MARGINALIZING CROWD!
By the way, this young upstart even has his “history” wrong!
The first view of the Bible ever to be held was the old-fashioned literal view of God’s Word! The view of Moses and David and Malachi and Matthew and Paul and John and yes, PETER!
Then later came the leaven of came Catholicism and Liberalism and now Pluralism.
Anyone trying to change the Bible, or reinterpret it, or mix it with other beliefs to pacify the masses … AVIOD LIKE THE PLAGUE!
The Emerging (their name selected for themselves) Church leaders tell us that multiple interpretations (some contracting others) will give us a “better Bible” than ever! (Not so! These man-made “lies” water down the Bible, diluting it!)
But the Bible speaks for itself … “If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this Book. And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city.” Revelation 22:18-19
Thank you Peter (and others) for the Warning!
I’m sticking with the Book!
Just like it’s written!
