Right Division

Right Division

Not everything in the Scriptures is the same. There are different ages, administrations, gospels, days, callings, hopes, spheres of glory, resurrections, etc. Thus, there is a great need to “… distinguish between things that differ” (Philippians 1:10, MKJV). We must learn to make a difference where God makes a difference. … testing things that differ (WT); … proving the things that differ (YLT); … examine the things differing (ED). For a foundational study of “Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth,”

The Ephesians “ sonship ” extends back before the disruption of the world, and extends “ far above ” all heavens. These three “ sonships ” correspond to the three distinct spheres of blessing.  Book Resource:   Sonship  (A...

Fall of Israel in the Book of Acts

Fall of Israel in the Book of Acts In the book of Acts there was a threefold digression of Israel’s apostasy, which in turn resulted in the threefold progression of Paul’s ministry   – turning, going, sending: “ we turn to the Gentiles ” “ henceforth I will go to the Gentiles ” “ the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles .” Notice these three stages unfolded in their contexts: “… seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles ” (Acts 13:46). “… when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles ” (Acts 18:6).  “… And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,  s aying , ‘ Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand...
