Unless You Repent, You Shall All Perish

Posted on November 10, 2026 by bibleteacherorg

Luke 13:1-2 KJV There were present at that season some that told him of the GALILAEANS, WHOSE BLOOD PILATE HAD MINGLED WITH THEIR SACRIFICES. 2 And Jesus answering said unto them …

I last preached out of this text in 2016, the first year that Donald Trump ran for office of the President. Though Clinton received 2,868,686 more POPULAR votes than Trump, President Trump received 77 more ELECTORAL votes than Clinton. Our Constitution calls on the ELECTORAL votes, not the POPULAR votes to determine the Presidency. So this was the first presidency of Donald Trump. Clinton claimed the election was stolen, but it wasn’t. Then we began a period where Congress wasted time with “Russian Collusion In The Election”. Special Counsel Robert Mueller did not establish that the Trump campaign criminally conspired or coordinated with the Russian government’s election-interference operation, wasting 32.7 million dollars of our money.

The COVID epidemic ended President Trump’s bid for re-election, hitting America March 11, 2020. Biden became President, receiving 74 more ELECTORAL votes than Trump. Then in 2024, Trump defeated Harris with 86 more ELECTORAL votes – and he is now our President.

Preach! Each American voting cycle, one side or the other shouts “the election was stolen” or “this is a disaster”. The Congress, instead of taking care of the nation, tries to hurt the “enemy” on the other side. This is the spirit of Satan, not of God.

Preach! In our text today there was a disaster. A rebellion broke out in Rome. The followers of Judas Gaulonites refused to submit to Roman authority. They turned against the Law of the land, rejected paying taxes, and were constantly seeking to cause social unrest in Rome. During one of the Jewish Holy Days Galileans that followed Judas were in the Temple offering sacrifices on the altar of God. The Governor of Judea, Pontius Pilate, sent soldiers into the Temple. THE REBELS WERE ALL KILLED, and THEIR BLOOD WAS POURED OUT ON THE ALTAR OF GOD. Continue reading →

Parable Of The Wheat And Tares

Posted on May 12, 2026 by bibleteacherorg

(Matthew 13:24-30 KJV) Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: [25] But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. [26] But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. [27] So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? [28] He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? [29] But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. [30] Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

What did Jesus come to this earth to do? In Matthew chapter 12 Jesus had just been through a series of battles with the Pharisees, the religious leaders of the organized Church in Israel. They didn’t call it a “Church”. They called it a Synagogue (synagōgē), which meant “a formal gathering of Jews that offered prayers and listened to the exposition of the Old Testament Scriptures. Assemblies were held on the Sabbath, the last day of the week”. In other words, it was a Church – except they did not worship Jesus. The Pharisees criticized Jesus because:

He allowed His disciples to pick, shuck, and eat corn on the Sabbath
Jesus healed people on the Sabbath
The Pharisees claimed that Jesus cast out demons by Beelzebub
Jesus chastised them for committing the unpardonable sin
Jesus claimed the Pharisees were a generation of evil vipers
Jesus refused to satisfy their demand for “a sign”
Jesus said they were wicked, demon possessed houses
And Jesus claimed only those who love Him were His family

Everything Jesus did, the Pharisees attacked. So as we come to this chapter, Jesus begins to speak in parables: Continue reading →

What Tree Are You?

Posted on January 18, 2025 by bibleteacherorg

Those who are “SIMPLE” {Hebrew pᵊṯî} or “open-minded, worldly” turn away from the Word of God and instead choose the traditions and foolishness of man. The word “FOLLY” is the Hebrew ‘iûeleṯ (pro. iv-veh’-leth) which means “foolishness, that which is devoid of God’s blessing”.

The simple chase after anything that leads them away from God, rather than to the Source of Life.

Illustrate: The simple believe Darwinian Evolutionary Theory to be true, teaching that humans are just another form of animal. They teach their children that you can be a “furry”, an animal, if you want to be, and put litter pans in human toilets. They teach that life in the womb is disposable, then wonder why life in society is so cheaply held. They allow their children to play video games where murder is glorified, then wonder why their child grows up to murder. They give their children rewards for nothing, and the child grows up expecting to be supported in their lives whether they work or not. Their government awards welfare checks to able bodied citizens, and then wonder why these people keep expecting more…. Continue reading →
