"I have overcome the world"

What we learned last time In our last blog, we explored  what the Bible means by “the world” generally, and in particular the world as something we are not to love and must overcome. We examined what the world was not, and learned a practical definition of "the world” : “The world” means the organization and the...

What in the world is “the world”? After what we have witnessed in this year’s turbulent presidential campaign, it’s a good time to increase our understanding of what the Bible calls “the world”. There are several ways in which the Bible speaks of “the world”.  The unbelievers; the entire...

Being brought to completion by the Spirit, part two

Picking up where we left off Last week, we started to examine the ongoing ministry of the Holy Spirit to believers, to the church. We began in the book of Ephesians, where we examined a word, a verse, and a concept. The word is the Greek verb pleroo. The verse is Ephesians 5:18. And the concept is the concept of...

Be brought to completion by the Spirit (part one)

A word, a verse, and a concept The next thing we are going to look at is the ongoing ministry of the Holy Spirit to believers. We have seen the one-time ministries of the Holy Spirit, such as Regeneration and the Baptism by the Spirit into Christ.
