WHAT IS “WRANGLING ABOUT WORDS?” [RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD 5]

Holy ones of God, If you’ve been prophesying to and admonishing the brethren in your Christian life for any time to help present them complete (perfectly mature) in Christ (Col. 1.28), you’ll quickly observe another carnal phenomenon. Is the truth and power of God’s word again being perverted by His children? You must be the judge. Ok, here’s how it goes: 1)   you proclaim (not “share”) a truth as you see it from the Holy Spirit. 2)   This proclaimed truth can be originated by you or in response to some half-truth or blatant error. 3)   You loving heart is concerned or gripped by the fact that God’s flock is straying or is strayed from His truth and even eternal destinies are in the balance. 4)   Your truth is rejected, or maligned, or despised, or all three, without any searching together in God’s Word to confirm your truth, or prove their [...]

UNDERSTANDING AMERICA AND THE WEST THROUGH FIRST CORINTHIANS [RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD 4]

[Marc comments: Brother Fee’s intro to the whole commentary here is essential to grasp if we’re to understand how God wants to solve the issues that plague His church in the West and affluent centers, especially America. Paul is not nice as many count it today with his church plant here, being very argumentative, and makes a grandiose defense of himself and his apostleship. This too, at the altar of tolerance, is anathema – but routine in God’s Word! He takes on this group “at every turn,” describes Fee. Most people today would rebuke Paul for not being Christ-like. The reason they would do this to Paul: most Christians are not in the Word of God, and if they are, most read for comfort and not for the reality of a holy life that deals with life head on. This piece is a word to the wise. We urge every [...]

BEING CAREFUL WITH HIS WORD: HIGH CONTEXT AND LOW CONTEXT SOCIETIES [RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD 2]

 Dear brethren, This series is dedicated to protecting god’s sheep against biblical misinterpretation by contrasting the true truth. If you’re not diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman, you’ll be ashamed, therefore be rightly dividing His word. Many times, like you I suppose, I’ve run into a “someone” who’s a “I’ve got Jesus in my heart so I really know the Bible” type who make bold faced, goofy statements about the Bible as obvious fact. And then they refuse to discuss it with “anyone.” End of conversation, they declare. It’s “clear” they proclaim. Oh? Even if the Holy Spirit has led that “anyone” a bit further than that “someone” in the learned art of Biblical exegesis (discovering the original, intended meaning) and hermeneutics (seeking the contemporary relevance) with the sacred scriptures, it’s an unloving, dishonorable, disrespectful act to cast off the others opinion. Next time any “someone” [...]
