About bibleteacherorg

A searching Pastor, I am looking for a people who love the Lord and love one another. Daily I pray for the Church. Most of what the world sees today is not the Church, but clubs pretending to be the Church. God is calling to Himself a people willing to be righteous, not self righteous, serving not served. I am called to pastor God's people, those who want to change the world by willingly and willfully following Jesus Christ. Only God is able to change the world, and we must follow His Christ. He is able! Praise His Name! Come quickly Lord Jesus!

Return To His Family

Posted on October 28, 2024 by bibleteacherorg

Romans 3:24-28 (KJV) Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: (25) Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; (26) To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. (27) Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. (28) Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

What was God’s purpose when He created Adam and Eve, and placed them in a Garden East of Eden (Genesis 2:8)? The Bible says that God made man – male and female – in His image and in His likeness (Genesis 1:27). The Bible tells us that God is One (Galatians 3:20). Jesus said: Continue reading →

Wicked Snared, Just Saved

Posted on October 24, 2024 by bibleteacherorg

Proverbs 12:13-14 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble. 14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompense of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.

God wants us to be careful with how we use our lips. God is particularly hard on the liar, on the person who uses deceit or tells untruths or is a false witness. Under the Mosaic Law a person was tried and found guilty only under the eyewitness verbal account of two or more witnesses. The Bible says in:

Deuteronomy 19:15 A single witness shall not suffice against a person for any crime or for any wrong in connection with any offense that he has committed. Only on the evidence of two witnesses or of three witnesses shall a charge be established.

This standard did not change as Christ brought in His Church under the New Covenant. God spoke through the Apostle declaring… Continue reading →

Bad News And Good News

Posted on October 21, 2024 by bibleteacherorg

People do not understand the GOOD NEWS until they first hear the BAD NEWS. I used to see bumper stickers that said “Jesus Saves”, to which I’d reply sarcastically, “From What?” Jesus saves from what? What do we need to be saved from? What do I need to be saved from?

In our opening text God tells us that “Jesus saves”, and shares the wonderful Gospel of Christ. But we skipped the introduction. Before the Apostle shares the Gospel or the Good News, God through him gives us the Bad News.

The “Good News” is not good until you hear the bad news.

Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:… Continue reading →

Wicked And Righteous Contrasted

Posted on October 18, 2024 by bibleteacherorg

The “wicked” (Hebrew rāšāʿ) are those who are spiritually dead and without Christ. There are several classifications of “wicked” people. Our Lord Jesus encountered the “religious wicked”, the Pharisees, who used their words as spears to drive people away from salvation. They “lay in wait for blood”, watched Jesus’ every move, and at the worst possible time attacked Him with lies. When Jesus healed people on the Sabbath Day, they struck out at Him for healing a suffering man when they themselves would have pulled an ox out of the ditch on the same day. We read:

Mark 3:1-6 {Jesus} entered the synagogue, and a man was there with a withered hand. 2 And they watched Jesus, to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him. 3 And he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come here.” 4 And he said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent. 5 And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. 6 The Pharisees went out and immediately held counsel with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.

They “lay in wait to accuse Him”, seeking to take Jesus’ life. … Continue reading →

The Most Deadly Thing

Posted on October 16, 2024 by bibleteacherorg

In 2019 we were told that the greatest threat to humanity was attacking the world. Called the “Coronavirus Disease” or “Covid-19”, nearly every nation in the world ground to a halt. Governments shut down businesses, gymnasiums, beaches, restaurants, and Churches. From its initial outbreak in late 2019 to April 13, 2024 there were 7,010,681 deaths worldwide from Covid. So is Covid the most dangerous thing in the world? It is dangerous, but the U.S. Centers for Disease Control tells us that mosquitoes are the world’s deadliest creature. It causes 700,000 deaths worldwide each year. Which is more deadly – Covid, or mosquitoes?

There’s something more deadly than Covid-19, mosquitoes, rattlesnakes, or spiders. The most deadly thing in the world is what God calls “Sin”.

Sin is more deadly than cancer. If you go to your doctor and he diagnoses you with cancer, there are options that you will be given to combat that cancer. Very few people tell their doctor to “go fly a kite” when he gives them the diagnosis. The cancer patient takes the doctor seriously, and heeds the doctor. But when God tells us that sin is deadly, we ignore both the Word of God and the Pastor who tells us about it. Continue reading →

God Will Be Exalted

Posted on October 11, 2024 by bibleteacherorg

When I first entered the Air Force I thought I was going to be a “Dental Technician”. That was what my recruiter told me I could be, and so he had me sign paperwork that gave me a “Guaranteed Field”. I found out later that this was actually double talk, a government lie created to fool new recruits. My “Guaranteed Field” was the “General Field”, of which there were about 100 menials jobs. I was not given a “Guaranteed Job” but a “Guaranteed Field”. Because of that, after Basic Training I was made a “Food Service Technician” (a Cook) inside of the “Guaranteed General Field”. When I protested, I was told that I could go be a “Food Service Technician” or I could go to Leavenworth and make rocks into gravel for the next 4 years. I became a Cook.

That was a very good learning experience for me. I found out that people can lie like a rug on the floor without even batting an eye. The recruiter knew he was lying to me. The commander of that recruiter knew he was lying to me. I suspect the government knew it was lying to me. But I was and am still a Christian, and I know that GOD DOES NOT LIE TO ME. God has never lied to me. God has said,

Romans 8:28 All things work together FOR GOOD to those who LOVE THE LORD, to those WHO ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.

God is in control of all things, and God is good. God sent His Only Beloved Son to this earth to give Himself for my sins. … Continue reading →

The Fruit Matters

Posted on October 1, 2024 by bibleteacherorg

God has no favorites, but will judge each person on the fruit of your life. The fruit of your life matters both now and into eternity. The fruit of your present life shows whether you are born of sin, or born again of the Son.

In 2017, Pope Francis said “Is it possible God has some children He does not love? No! We are all God’s beloved children.”

That’s not what God tells us. We have seen that there are two categories of people according to God. There are those who are “Beloved” (Agapetos) and those who are “Of Humanity” (Anthropos). The “Beloved” are beloved children of God because they have believed on God’s Beloved Son (Matthew 3:17; 17:5; 2 Peter 1:17). Receiving Christ as Savior and Lord, the Holy Spirit causes the heart of the recipient to be “born again”. Those who reject Christ are “condemned already, because they have not believed in the Name of the Only Begotten Son of God” (John 3:18). These people are “in the flesh” (Romans 7:5), they are “of humanity” (Anthropos). They are a creation of God, but are not children of God. Continue reading →

Judgment Day Is Coming

Posted on September 27, 2024 by bibleteacherorg

The Apostle addresses the “beloved of God”. The word “BELOVED” is the Greek agapētos, which certainly means “BELOVED”, but it means also “those well favored, those worthy of love”. The believer in Christ is worthy of love because he is a believer in Christ. Jesus Christ is God’s “BELOVED Son” (Matthew 3:17). God told the Prophet Isaiah of the Lord Jesus, saying:

Matthew 12:18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

When you receive Jesus as Lord and Savior you are “BELOVED” for His sake. You are “called to be SAINTS” because Christ’s sacrifice is reckoned to your life. As father Abraham believed on and received Christ, we do as well. Christ’s righteousness is “imputed to us, if we believe on Him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered for our offenses, and raised for our justification”.

But as we come to Romans chapter two, the Word of God does not address the Church, but the lost world. We read:

Romans 2:1 … Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man …

Romans 2:3 … And thinkest thou this, O man …

Word Study: It is not the “BELOVED” that is addressed, but “MAN”, the Greek anthrōpos which means “human being, whether male or female”. The Beloved of God, the Christian is to “let your light so shine before MEN (anthrōpos), that they (the lost) may see our good works, and glorify our Father Who is in Heaven” (Matthew 5:16).

Love Instruction Love God

Posted on September 27, 2024 by bibleteacherorg

When battling evil neither Jesus nor Michael the Archangel used their own power, opinion, or desires – even though Jesus is God become flesh (John 1:14; 1 Timothy 3:16). The All Mighty in human form relied on the Word and power of God. The Archangel, more powerful than we can imagine, relied on the Word and power of God.

The power for abundant living is found in knowledge of God’s Word. To reject God’s Word is to become “brutish”.

The devil often comes to us and through our sincere emotions seeks to manipulate us into doing that which is contrary to God’s Will and God’s Word. Sincerity is no proof of truth. The truth is in God’s Word. Jesus said

John 17:17 (KJV) {Father,} Thy Word is TRUTH” (John 17:17).

The Psalmist wrote, Continue reading →

Who Said That? Jesus or Satan?

Posted on September 17, 2024 by bibleteacherorg

As we believe in GOD, we are to believe in JESUS. Jesus is the Son of God. He is the Great I AM, God manifest in the flesh. Jesus is the One Whom God has sent to show us the way of light. When Israel believed in themselves, they lost the Promised Land. God told Israel that every 7th year was to be a Sabbatical Year where Israel believed not in themselves, but in God. God gave Israel numerous Sabbaths where they were to cease their own works, and believe in God. Yet Israel believed in themselves – and lost the Promised Land and their freedoms. We are never to believe in ourselves – but in God and in Christ. Jesus said:

John 12:44-50 (ESV) …. Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. 45 And whoever sees me sees him who sent me. 46 I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. 47 If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. 49 For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.

We are not to believe in ourselves apart from the power of Jesus…. Continue reading →
