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!

God Wants Whole Men

Posted on September 13, 2026 by bibleteacherorg

Ecclesiastes 1:1-2 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. [2] Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

King Solomon, the son of King David, was a saved believer. The Bible says that:

1 Kings 3:3 And Solomon LOVED THE LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: …

He loved the Lord. He was a believer in the Lord, saved by faith in the coming Jesus Christ. But the Bible tells us that – though Solomon was saved – he had an area of weakness. When we read the rest of 1 Kings 3:3 we see that:

1 Kings 3:3 … only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.

Solomon loved the Lord, but he compromised with the ways of the world. He loved the Lord, but he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places. He tolerated the false gods in his lifestyle and in his actions.

Solomon was tolerant to other religions. I don’t mean that Solomon was tolerant in the sense that he had a live and let live mentality toward the unbelievers of the faith. Christians ought to be kind, and ought to show love toward all people. Our standard should be what Jesus said:

Matthew 5:44-45 NKJV – … LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 “that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

Loving your enemies doesn’t mean to justify what the lost do. It doesn’t mean to go along with the gods of this world, sacrificing to that which is not the God of the Bible. Loving your enemies means to… Continue reading →

The Righteous Scarcely Saved: 1 Peter 4:17-19

Posted on September 7, 2026 by bibleteacherorg

1 Peter 4:17 KJV For the time is come that JUDGMENT MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

I’ve heard this lie frequently taught from both pulpit and pew. “Well, God didn’t call us to be judges”. Actually, Jesus did. Jesus said, “Do not judge by appearance, but judge with right judgment” (John 7:24). What is He saying? My judgment is not to be based on my opinion or what I think, but based on what God has written. Jesus tells us to judge – but to judge ourselves first. That’s what we’re told in today’s text:

JUDGMENT MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD

Jesus told us to judge – but ourselves first.

Matthew 7:5-6 LSB You HYPOCRITE, FIRST TAKE THE LOG OUT OF YOUR OWN EYE, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. 6 DO NOT GIVE WHAT IS HOLY TO DOGS, and DO NOT THROW YOUR PEARLS BEFORE THE SWINE, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

The problem with judging is, too often we justify our poor performance by judging another. “Judgment must begin at the HOUSE OF GOD” (Hebrews 3:6 says the Christian is of the House of God).

We should examine our lives first – then challenge others around us to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:17-18).

I want to say this very carefully. It is possible to go to Church (which you should), to post Bible verses online, to wear a Cross around your neck, and profess you are a Christian – and still not know Jesus. Examine yourselves. Are you bearing fruit for Jesus? If you are, then help others to do the same…. Continue reading →

True Religion The Way Of Christ

Posted on September 7, 2026 by bibleteacherorg

Matthew 5:21-22 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

What Is The “True Religion”?
Only The Way Of Jesus

I was shopping for some more pants the other day when I came across a brand of blue jeans called True Religion™ . That caught my eye. Why is it called “True Religion™ ”? I went and looked up the brand on the Internet. It was founded in 2002 by Jeffrey Lubell. The name of the company is based on his philosophy – these are his words – “There’s really only one religion in the world, and that’s people—and we all wear jeans”. What Lubell is selling besides blue jeans is what the devil sold from the beginning. He believes that every person should stay true to themselves regardless as to societal rules or religious divides. In short, a “True Religion” puts me first.

I don’t wear blue jeans, and the True Religion™ jeans are too expensive for me anyway. But the philosophy is just the old sermon the snake preached in the Garden of Eden.

When Jesus sat down to preach His “Sermon on the Mount”, the first thing He did was go through the various misunderstandings that the Scribes, Pharisees, and Sadducees had about the Law of God. These religious teachers had departed from the core of the Scripture many years before, and Jesus would call them out on it. He told them:… Continue reading →

The Temple Of God Ain’t Made Of Bricks

Posted on September 7, 2026 by bibleteacherorg

1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Know ye not that YOU ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD, and that the SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLETH IN YOU? 17 If any man DEFILE {phtheirō} the temple of God, HIM SHALL GOD DESTROY; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

When a person repents and turns away from their sin and toward Jesus, our Lord sends the Holy Spirit to each and every one of us. The Spirit is sent by the Father:

Jesus asks the Father to send the Spirit:… Continue reading →

Wise And Foolish Virgins

Posted on September 7, 2026 by bibleteacherorg

As I prepared this message, I studied a sermon “The Ten Virgins” developed by a dear saint now with Jesus, Robert Murray McCheyne (1813-1843). He could be known as the Billy Graham of Scotland. Though he only lived to be two months short of 30 years old, he loved the Lord Jesus with all his heart. He glorified Jesus in his life, and went to be with Jesus unexpectedly … just as we all will go. Jesus told us:

Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh

When Jesus spoke of the Kingdom of Heaven in this parable, He was not talking of the future Heaven every believer in Christ will be in. He was speaking of the Kingdom of God on the earth, the Church. This message is a message to the assembled Church. Jesus told His Church to “WATCH”. To watch for His return. To be diligent. In Matthew 24:42 Jesus warned:

“Watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. … Be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect Him!”

When we get to Heaven, we will glorify Jesus for all eternity. The Church should be watching, and be always ready to worship and glorify Him. John the Revelator looked into Heaven, and saw this picture … Continue reading →

Christ’s Words Of Victory

Posted on September 1, 2026 by bibleteacherorg

I receive obituary notices through my email from Oakes & Nichols Funeral Home, Heritage Funeral Home, and Williams Funeral Home every day. I rarely know who these people are who passed, but I like to keep up and read the obituaries. I started this practice years ago as a Pastor when I found out I was preaching a funeral that afternoon – but no one from the Funeral Home let me know! It was only by the Grace of God that I found out.

As I read the obituaries this week, I read things like:

1. The departed loved animals, and was a collector of many things.
2. The loved one was devoted to family, faith, country, and community.
3. The person had a love for the simple things of life, like fishing, music, and spending time with family.
4. She “passed away peacefully”, and was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend.
5. The lady helped build a world shaped by devotion, honest work, and dedication.
6. If the person attended Church at all, they are noted as “a member of such and such Church”.

One of the oldies but goodies is “She earned her angel wings”. Did you know Dolly Parton earned her angel wings this week? That’s what one article stated.

As you all probably know, Dolly Parton passed away this Tuesday, August 25. She was 80 years old. One newspaper article stated “Cause of Dolly’s… Continue reading →

Making A Difference For Jesus: Matthew 5:13-20

Posted on September 1, 2026 by bibleteacherorg

Matthew 5:13-16 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

As Christians We Are To Be A Change Agent
Wherever We Are

Christ’s Word of Suffering

Posted on August 24, 2026 by bibleteacherorg

When God created us, He gave us something called a HYPOTHALAMUS. It’s in the center of our brain, and it constantly monitors our fluid balance, our blood concentration, and even our blood pressure. There are two types of thirst: Osmotic and Hypovolemic. Most of us have experienced the first type – Osmotic thirst. This is when you labor and overheat, you lose water through sweat, and that triggers thirst. In the Garden of Eden before Adam’s sin I do not think people ever really suffered thirst. It was only after Adam’s betrayal of God’s Covenant that the Lord told him:

(Genesis 3:17-19 NKJV) … Cursed [is] the ground for your sake; IN TOIL YOU SHALL EAT OF IT ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE. [18] Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, And you shall eat the herb of the field. [19] IN THE SWEAT OF YOUR FACE YOU SHALL EAT BREAD Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you [are], And to dust you shall return.

Adam’s sin brought toil, and cursing, thorns and thistles, hard labor to cause sweat. Adam’s sin brought suffering along with sin into the world. Adam thought that God’s Word could be trifled with. Our Lord Jesus told us “Scripture – the Word of God – CANNOT BE BROKEN” (John 10:35). What God has said must come to pass. What God has promised must be fulfilled. Adam’s sin brought suffering into the world. Adam’s sin brought thirst to man. Adam’s sin brought thirst to animals. But Adam’s sin did something much more startling.

Adam’s Sin Brought Thirst To The Son Of God

The second type of thirst is Hypovolemic. This occurs when the volume of the blood in your body drops to an unnatural level. That brings on a raging thirst. All three on that Hill called Calvary suffered this type of thirst that day – but only One was the Son of God. … Continue reading →

Wednesday Night Study: 1 Corinthians 2:14-16; 3:1-15

Posted on August 22, 2026 by bibleteacherorg

1 Corinthians 2:14-16 But the NATURAL {psychikos} man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are SPIRITUALLY {pneumatikōs} discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual {pneumatikos} judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

Word Study: Last we saw the difference between the “NATURAL” (psychikos, sensual, psychotic, bestial or animal like) person and the “SPIRITUAL” (pneumatikos, Spirit led) Child of God. The flesh controlled person can not receive the things of the Spirit of God. They are enslaved to the flesh. They have not been set free by faith in Jesus. Jesus said:

(John 8:34-36 LSB) … Truly, truly, I say to you, EVERYONE WHO COMMITS SIN IS THE SLAVE OF SIN. [35] “And the slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever. [36] “So IF THE SON MAKES YOU FREE, YOU WILL BE FREE INDEED.

We are born into this world bound to the flesh and sin. This is the “NATURAL” state. But once you receive Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior, He sends the Holy Spirit to us to cause our new birth and indwell us. Once saved, the “SPIRITUAL” or Spirit led Christian – though they may occasionally sin- are no longer bound to sin but to righteousness. The Apostle said:

(Romans 6:1-2 KJV) What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? [2] God forbid. How shall WE, THAT ARE DEAD {apothnēskō} TO SIN, live any longer therein?… Continue reading →
