The final and PART – #08 of “Dispensation Under Attack” “It’s back to Paul or on to despair”, is a statement that cannot and must not be taken lightly. Francis Landey Patton, a theologian and the twelfth president of Princeton University, put it like this: “The only hope of Christianity is in the rehabilitation of Pauline theology”, he so rightly stated.…
CRUMB 0143 – THE OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES
PART – #07 of “Dispensation Under Attack” “The Old Testament Scriptures are both indispensable and invaluable to us”. The Old Testament Scriptures are the story of God’s journey with the human race. It’s a progressive unfolding story of God working with a fallen and defiled creation. Driven by His intrinsic Love for His intrinsic creation, HE was never going to…
CRUMB 0142 – GOD, NEVER WITHOUT A TESTIMONY
PART – #06 of “Dispensation Under Attack” “God has never left Himself without a testimony.” Every single Old Testament Bible account of all those wonderful stories and the four Gospels are God’s Personal Testimony. And they are over a period of four thousand years, since the creation of man to Christ’s death on the cross. They testify of His consistently…
CRUMB 0141 – Scriptures Explain Scripture
PART – #05 of “Dispensation Under Attack” “Scriptures alone can explain Scripture, which is one of the golden rules for understanding Scripture.” No portion of Scripture is for ‘private interpretation’, writes Peter in [2 Peter 1:20]. And that is exactly what has been happening for several centuries, and still goes on today. Christendom, for the most part, has rarely allowed…
CRUMB 0140 – “JESUS CHRIST IS ‘DISPENSATIONAL’”
PART – #04 of “Dispensation Under Attack” Jesus Christ was and still is dispensational through and through. ‘Dispensational’ both looks and sounds like a BIG confusing theological word, that makes us want to run away. And the first thought that probably comes into our minds when we come across the word, ‘dispensational’ is: “What in heaven’s name is this guy…
CRUMB 0139 – DISPENSING AND STEWARDSHIP
PART – #03 of “Dispensation Under Attack” “Dispensing and Stewardship both, has everything to with that word ‘dispensation’.” ‘Dispensing’ talks about an instructional ‘giving out’, making it a ‘dispensation’. And ‘Stewardship’, speaks of a committed faithfulness, in carrying out that dispensation. We saw this mentioned in the previous Crumb 0317. Stewardship is something that applies to us all in just…
CRUMB 0138 – “ACCORDING TO THE REVELATION”
PART – #02 of “Dispensation Under Attack” “ACCORDING TO”, is a phrase that occurs exactly Seven Hundred and Twenty-Five times in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.” Every single area of our God given lives, in one way or the other, has an “according to” attached to it. It’s a law, a fact of life and there is no getting…
CRUMB 0137 – DISPENSATION UNDER ATTACK
PART – #01 “DISPENSATION is a ‘Biblical Word’, and one that always has been under a growing and severe attack.” And this attack on ‘dispensation’ is probably at its peak, especially in these last and final days of human history. Here is one of several Biblical truths about ‘dispensation’. Dispensation is that ‘indispensable defining line’, clearly laid out by Scripture,…
CRUMB 0136 – THE GREAT EQUATION
“The Great Equation of Scripture in this Age of Grace, as we commemorate Easter, is SALVATION = FAITH + NOTHING.” It is in fact, the greatest equation of Scripture, and is the equation above all equations. Faith + nothing is a universal truth and ‘ground zero’ reality in its application. It’s Faith in the finished works of the cross of…
CRUMB 0135 – TO BE AND NOT TO BE IMPUTED WITH
“TO BE AND NOT TO BE IMPUTED WITH, both has everything to do with our eternal destination.” ‘To be imputed with’ and ‘not to be imputed with’ are equally important and absolute necessities. The word ‘imputed’ is a book-keeping term. When we’re imputed with something according to the Bible Scriptures, is to have that something put into our account. So…
CRUMB 0134 – GOOD GOVERNANCE DAY
‘GOOD GOVERNANCE DAY’ on this 25th Day of December, caused the Christian community in India to go up in arms in 2014. They felt their special historic and traditional Christmas Day, was replaced by the Government of India with ‘Good Governance Day’. And the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) has not exactly been in the good books of the Indian Christians…
CRUMB 0133 – THE ANTICHRIST REVEALED
Part #05 of “The Mystery of Iniquity” “The antichrist is a topic which has given rise to endless speculation as to who this person will be.” Many, especially dictators, who have been thought to be the antichrist of the Bible have come and gone. Even in recent times, many, from both the secular world and Christendom believed that Barack Obama…
