This Week's Focus Passage: 2 Peter 2;7
'And delivered righteous Lot, sore distressed by the lascivious life of the wicked.'
The larger context of our 'focus verse,' just above, is 2 Peter 2:4-9:For if God spared not angels when they sinned, but cast them down to hell, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; and spared not the ancient world, ...

'Hallelujah, praise ye Jehovah!'
Beginning with the 146thPsalm, and continuing through the final psalm, Psalm 150; these five psalms constitute what are known as the "Hallelujah Choruses" of the book of Psalms. Not one among these five psalms possesses a superscription. However, these specific Psalms each begin with "P...

This Week's Focus Passage: Hosea 4:17

This Week's Focus Passage:
John 13:21 'One of you shall betray me.'
We may read, in Psalm 41:7-9, the following, rather astounding words of deception and betrayal, in this predictive Davidic psalm, when the Holy Spirit says;All that hate me whisper together against me;
Against me do they devise my hurt.
An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast un...

This Week's Focus Passage: John 9:25
'One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.'
And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind? Jesus answered, neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifes...

This Week's Focus Passage: Isaiah 1:2

This Week's Focus Passage: Galatians 1:7
'There are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.'
Paul continues, in his epistle to the churches of Galatia, to speak of what he has called 'a different gospel.' What has he said is this thing, this 'different gospel?' He defines this in the next verse, verse eight, where he has written,But though we, o...

This Week's Focus Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:3, 4
'According to the Scriptures.'
As far as we were able to determine, these two verses from 1 Corinthians, chapter fifteen, are the only places in the primary English translations of the Bible, where this phrase,According to the Scriptures,is to be found. Those versions include the King James, the New King James, the Amer...
