Wisdom versus folly. More wise sayings from Solomon, "the preacher."

Is Muhammad the last prophet God has sent? And what about ecumenicity, just (officially) getting along with, or even joining with, Islam?

Solomon continues to see the negative in life "under the sun." He describes perfectly the lives of all humans on earth today attempting to live life meaningfully... without God.

"John Ploughman" is a name assumed by Charles Spurgeon as he steps out of the pulpit to talk to common men as a common man, a "plowman" or farmer. This selection is about laziness. Spurgeon, as always, spares no punches.

What is the Kingdom of God for which we pray whenever we pray the Lord's Prayer? Are we Kingdom People? Are we in exile?

Biblical warnings about false prophecies and anything that would take preeminence away from Jesus Christ. Also a look at Isaac and Ishmael and their descendants.

Ecclesiastes, "the Preacher" speaks of the vanity of life "under the sun".

Some have morning prayer, and some add to that an evening prayer. How many lift up prayers throughout the day to connect morning and evening? Phelps' challenge is a serious one...

Some beliefs of Islamists: Sharia. God. Jesus. Jinns. Salvation.

We end the book of Proverbs with Solomon's last entry and the words of Agur and Lemuel, or rather Lemuel's mother. The classic description of the "perfect" wife is included.

My 2012 book that gives a description of the Koran and other Islamic information. Part 1, the Book itself.

Spurgeon speaks of the greatest commandment of all, yet one we scarcely discuss. After telling the beauty of the law, he reminds us that we in no way can keep it. Be sure to listen to the very end!

Many proverbs centering on the avoidance of "the fool"... given to us by one who was the wisest king of Israel (except King Jesus).

Peter, Jude, and John confirm what we set out to prove: the sovereignty of God is taught from cover to cover in your Bible. But no one should claim this teaching is without its tension. Somehow in this mystery is included the responsibility of man. Keep searching the Mind of Christ, revealed in His Book!

Puritan Manton waeves together a multitude of Scriptures to make the point his title announces.

The foolishness of drinking wine. Honey... in moderation. Stay out of court. Visit to a lazy man. And much more wisdom...

From 1 Corinthians through James we continue to trace the simple fact that our God does what He wants when He wants with whom He wants. He's a big God!

How much time to we spend with God? Is it delightedly, willingly, or grudgingly?

Exhortations to the good, holy life, from a father to a son, and all of us.

Undeniable evidence from Acts and Romans that God is in charge, for those who may have wondered...

Welcome to the Word and the Cross!

Perfect supplement to the Sovereignty series we are posting daily. Spurgeon's clear description of the enemies that come against God's church and the members thereof, coupled to the declaration of victory against every attack! The church, and all of its true members, remain unvanquished. Blessed message!

John's Gospel is a veritable powerhouse of information on the subject we are studying: allowing God to be God. Do join me on this one!

The good and the bad, the rich and the poor, the wise and the foolish... contrasted.

Calvin's exposition on Ephesians 6:10-18, from the current issue of the Free Grace Broadcaster. Note: Calvin was not merely a promoter of the "doctrines of grace", He was a Bible scholar par excellence!

Re-make of a 2013 audio series, still available (in 5 longer episodes). Here, we come to the New Testament and a surprising array of Sovereignty passages in brother Matthew's Gospel.

More comparisons of the wicked with the righteous. Note the emphasis on fools in Proverbs.

Phelps addresses idolatry in prayer. Is it possible?

With this episode we switch to audio-only, for reasons explained on the introduction. This audio concludes the Old Testament survey of Sovereignty and free will. Daniel to Malachi.

More contrasts between the upright and the wicked.

What do the prophets of Israel have to say about the sovereignty of God? A lot!

All things are working in this present moment for good. I highly recommend this message for all who despair in this day. Such encouragement! And a perfect companion to my present video series on the Sovereignty of God. We are a called people...

What saith God about HIs sovereignty in the works of David and Solomon?

Contrasts of the upright and the wicked continue...

Sovereignty in the last of the history books of the Old Testament. David. Ezra. Nehemiah. Esther. God is in it all. Open our eyes Lord!

From cradle to grave, Kim owns his people. (A 2007 recording. Do you think things are different today? Please keep praying for today's NK and today's Kim)

Serious warning and challenge to those among us who seem to enjoy sin.

The Proverbs "proper" begins here at chapter 10. These are the wise sayings of Solomon. Important bits of wisdom for our daily lives.

The hand of God is clearly seen in the choosing of Israel's kings and prophets. For the most part these men had no idea that they would be so honored. This is Sovereignty at work.

Stories of believers losing their lives for their faith in North Korea. From 2007 but true today...

Indolence - laziness - in prayer. Is this you or me? Listen carefully to Pastor Phelps.

All the early books of the Bible have spoken of God's Sovereign will being carried out. A pattern is beginning to form.

Moses. the Pharaoh. And the apostle Paul's comments on the hardening of heart. Familiar but important to bring into the story.

Two women continue to dominate the writings of Solomon in the introductory chapters.

A few hard questions, then we begin our exploration of Scripture in the book of Genesis.

Spurgeon explains the imagery of incense in bowls being our prayers, individually and as a group.

Doesn't the Bible say that God wants every individual to be saved? And more hard questions.

Serious Questions and assumed positions. Searching only for God's mind in His Word and Spirit.

Bishop Ussher (of the famed "Ussher chronology") has serious suggestions for being a victor in our daily walk and war.

Two women are brought to our attention in the beginning chapters of Proverbs. One, very good. One, very bad.
