  In this episode, we discuss how Paul reminded Timothy that he had witnessed Paul’s doctrine, character, suffering, and endurance. He had seen Paul’s persecutions and God’s deliverance. All who live godly in Christ Jesus will face opposition as evil men get worse and worse. Timothy needed to continue in the truth he had learned through Scripture. True Scripture is God‑breathed and profitable because it perfects the man of God. Paul charged Timothy to preach, reprove, rebuke, and exhort with patience. Come study God’s Word with us today!

  Today, we discuss how Paul warned Timothy that modern believers would become lovers of pleasure, and be diverted by entertainment, amusement, and technology. These distractions weaken fellowship, stewardship, worship, and faithfulness. Paul described people who only had a form of godliness, were easily led astray, and were ever learning yet never reaching the truth. The main issue is how they resist the gospel like Jannes and Jambres did. This episode will challenge you, but we feel that you will enjoy studying the Word of God with us today!

  In our 48th Q&A, which is also our 4 year anniversary of doing these fan-favorite episodes, Bro Donnie and Bro Sam refute the Once Saved Always Saved doctrine. Scripture repeatedly warns real believers can fall away, be cut off, or suffer judgment. Passages like Hebrews 6, 2Peter 2, John 15, Romans 11, and others show salvation is conditional, which means it is based on believing loyalty. These brothers define apostasy terms, covenant analogies, blotting out, and use many other examples to contradict this dangerous doctrine. We believe this study will get everyone’s attention, so come study God...

  In today’s study, we go over the passage where Paul explains that in the last days people will be selfish, heartless, covenant breakers and totally untrustworthy. They will slander others, lack self‑control, act fiercely, despise good, betray loved ones, behave rashly, be arrogant, and love pleasure more than they love God. These sins destroy relationships, corrupt churches, and reveal hearts ruled by “self” rather than Christ, whose goodness the world continues to reject.

  In this episode, we dig in to where Paul explained that the sins that happen in the end‑times stem from self‑love. They lead people to covetousness, boasting, pride, and self‑pity. These things produce blasphemy, disrespect toward God and others, and rebellion against parents and all authority. As self‑will grows, people become unthankful and unholy, losing reverence for God and living profanely. Each trait reflects a heart centered on “self,” and it also reveals the moral collapse that will take place in the last days. Come and study God’s Word with us to

  In today’s episode we see where Paul instructed Timothy to avoid foolish and unlearned questions because they produce strife. He said that the servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle, skilled in teaching, patient, and meek when correcting those who oppose the truth. The main goal of we are to push for is that God grants them repentance because such people must be recovered from the snare of the devil. We began the 3rd chapter towards the end of this study, and we discussed how the last days will bri...

  In this study, we discuss Paul warning Timothy to shun profane and vain babblings, which lead to ungodliness and destroy faith. This led us to talk about Hymenaeus and Philetus, whose false teaching was spreading like a canker, or gangrene. Despite all of these things, the foundation of God stands sure, sealed by His knowledge of His people. When we claim the name of Christ, it then becomes our duty to depart from iniquity. All believers must purge false influences, become honorable vessels, flee youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness. We feel this episode i...

  In today’s episode, Bro Donnie and Bro. Sam tackle a listener’s deep questions about divine healing, including: Is it God’s will to heal? Is healing part of His revealed will? Why did Jesus sometimes not heal—was it unbelief? Does “by His stripes we are healed” mean physical or spiritual healing? Can sinners be healed? Does faith function mentally or through trust? Does belief affect how many healings we see? Is God testing our faith when we pray? If you have ever wondered about any of these things, this episode is for you. W...

  In this powerful episode, we discuss how Paul taught that even when believers falter, Christ remains faithful and cannot deny Himself. He then warned us against unprofitable words because they subvert hearers from the truth. Paul told us to study so we will be approved unto God, able to rightly divide the truth. Studying scripture implants the Word within us, protects us from deception, strengthens us in doctrine, equips us with a testimony, and ensures that we truly know Christ through knowing His written Word.

  In today’s study, our 4th in the Sermon on the Mount Series, we discuss how Jesus teaches us that believers must be truthful, avoiding manipulative oaths and living with integrity so vows become unnecessary. He connected swearing, lying, broken marriage vows, and bearing God’s name in vain. He teaches us against revenge, rather urging forgiveness, generosity, and love toward our enemies. Christ calls His followers to mature holiness, reflecting the Father through truthful speech, mercy, and our godly treatment of all people. You sure don’t want to miss this episode, so come...

  In today’s episode, we dive back in where we left off, as we were studying Paul’s 3 analogies of a soldier, an athlete, and a husbandman. He used these to show believers that we must labor, strive lawfully, and endure to receive the reward. He used powerful Greek terms to highlight our need of disciplined effort. He urges Timothy to consider and remember Christ’s resurrection, noting his own suffering for the Gospel. Paul spoke of dying, suffering, or denying Christ, and these terms will determine whether we live with Christ, reign with Hi...

  In today’s study, we see where Paul urged Timothy to hold fast the sound doctrine he received, keeping it through the indwelling Spirit. We see the contrast between the ex-believers in Asia who turned away, with Onesiphorus who was a loyal helper of Paul. We also discuss how Paul encouraged Timothy to rely on the strength in Christ’s grace, to commit these things to faithful men who will teach others, and to endure as a good soldier. A soldier who avoids being entangled by the world. This passage, (and this episode) empha...

  In today’s episode, Bro Donnie and Bro Sam answer 5 listener questions, and they ranged from interesting to very difficult. They were asked why Jesus didn’t come before He did; whether tongues must be real languages and how to discern authentic Holy Ghost experiences; whether believers can feel shame at Christ’s appearing; whether the Hebrew man who exposed Moses altered Israel’s history; and how Pharaoh’s magicians turned their rods into serpents.

  In today’s study, we see how Paul opens this book, affirming his apostleship and the promise of life in Christ. He expresses his love for Timothy, recalls his sincere family faith, and urges him to stir up his spiritual gift. He reminds us that believers are given power, love, and a sound mind… not fear. Timothy is not to be ashamed of Christ’s testimony, recognizing salvation and our callings come by God’s purpose and grace. He encourages us by telling us that Christ abolished death, and it for this cause Paul, who...

  Today’s study is our last one in 1st Timothy, and we discuss the charge Paul gave Timothy to instruct the rich not to be high‑minded or trust in uncertain riches. We should rather trust in God who gives us all things richly to enjoy. He stressed our need to do good, be generous, distribute to those in need, and communicate our blessings, which lays a foundation for eternal life. We should also keep what is committed to us, avoiding profane and vain babblings, while rejecting false knowledge, because some have erred from...

  In today’s episode, we discuss Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5:25-32, beginning with how reconciliation is an urgent thing because unresolved anger leads to divine judgment. Then we tackled the topic of adultery which took us to lust and the sin of coveting. We then move on to the topic of divorce, emphasizing that God hates “the putting away,” of divorce because it results in adultery. We stress God’s original design for marriage and the seriousness of breaking covenant vows. Every person needs to tune in to study God’s Word with us today, so,

  In today’s episode, we discuss how Paul encouraged all believers to “fight the good fight of faith” and to “lay hold on eternal life.” Paul emphasized that this struggle is spiritual, because it is to preserve the faith. Timothy is charged “in the sight of God” to keep his confession “without spot, unrebukeable” until Christ’s appearing. Paul then Jesus as the only Potentate and the King of kings. He is the one alone who possesses immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, worthy of all honor and power… we invite you to come study God’s Word with u

  In today’s episode, we ask the question: Do you love money, or do you have faith?Paul didn’t warn about possessing wealth, but he did warn against desiring to be rich. He rebuked people who chase after riches, those guilty of having the “love of money.” These desires lead to “temptation, snares, and foolish and hurtful lusts. These are the things that drown men “in destruction and perdition.” Loving money causes believers to “err from the faith” and “pierce themselves through with many sorrows,” while true men of God must flee these dangers and pursu...

  In today’s episode, we talk about Paul’s warning that anyone who “teaches otherwise” and rejects wholesome, Christ‑given doctrine is a false teacher. False teachers are known by pride, ignorance, sly questions, strife, envy, railings, and corrupt thinking. Such men are destitute of the truth, driven by covetousness, and they also must be avoided. Paul contrasted their greed with true gain which is godliness with contentment. We brought nothing into this world and we won’t be taking anything out. Believers should be content with food and raiment. We invite you to come study...

  Today’s Q&A has several powerful questions that we try our best to provide the best biblical answers possible, and these questions include: what happened at Gilgal in Amos and Hosea; whether the UFO phenomenon connects to the end‑times deception; whether Scripture teaches eternal conscious torment; what Jude meant when he spoke of “earnestly contend for the faith”; whether calling Jesus simply “Jesus” minimizes His title after the resurrection; and the youth’s question for the month concerns a Christian student, and how he should respond to an atheist teacher’s hostility toward...

  In this episode, we discuss why Paul told Timothy to “use a little wine,” and that leads us to talk about water quality, medicinal use, Greek wordings, and Timothy’s stomach issues or anxieties. Paul then explains in vv. 24-25 how elders whose sins or good works become manifest, and some of them are open beforehand, and others later at the judgment. Entering chapter 6, Paul addressed servants or slaves who were under the yoke, urging them to honor their masters to avoid blaspheming God. He also instructed believing servants not to despise believing masters...

  In today’s episode, we go over how Paul taught that elders who labor in doctrine deserve honor and material support, citing “not muzzling the ox…” because “the laborer is worthy of his reward.” Paul also warned us against receiving accusations without witnesses and commands public rebuke of elders who sin, so others may fear. He cautioned Timothy not to lay hands on any man suddenly, and much more. We encourage you to come study God’s Word with us today!

  In this episode, we discuss how Jesus taught that believers must shine the light that God has given them.  The Lord saves us to be an influence to others, to bring glory to our Heavenly Father, and to live as salt and light. Jesus fulfilled the Law completely and showcases how true righteousness is within, not without. We also talk about how Jesus took the root of murder deep into the heart and exposed anger and contempt as destructive steps towards murder. Our speech is a mirror of our hearts, and we can’t tr...

  In today’s episode, we discuss what Paul meant when he said that younger widows had cast off their faith. Once they did this, then they became idle, gossipy, and meddlesome… sounds like a great group of women, huh? Some of them were possibly even involved in “curious arts.” Paul commanded the younger widows to remarry, bear children, and guide the home to avoid reproach. We stress reading the scriptures in their proper context and applying them accurately. We finish by debating whether the “elders” of verse 17 are older widows, elderly people, or ministers. We...

  In today’s episode, we present the argument that 1Tim. 5:8 is commonly taken out of context and misapplied to lazy husbands. The truth of the matter is that Paul is speaking to the men who refuse to take care of widows and refuse to support them. We discuss the qualifications for widows receiving help from the church, and we also go over the dangers younger widows face in “waxing wanton against Christ.” When you abandon earlier commitments, it always leads to condemnation and the possibility that you may cast your faith away.

  In today’s study, we discuss how “elder” refers to older men, and not ministers. Paul said to treat them “as a father” and then he addressed ministers that he also referred to as elders later in v. 17. We talk about how Timothy needed to relate to older and younger believers “with all purity.” We then shifted the conversation to widows, and gave a biblical definition for those who “are widows indeed.” These women are truly desolate, godly, and prayerful, which means they deserve honor, respect, and our support.

  In today’s study, we discuss Paul’s charge to Timothy and his to command to teach doctrine, emphasizing trust in the living God and Christ as Savior. He told Timothy needed to rise above criticism about his age, and then he told him how to do that. He said it would be done by his conduct “in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” He urged Timothy to read, exhort, guard doctrine, and not neglect his spiritual gift. By watching his life and teaching, he would safeguard himself and those...

  In today’s episode, we begin a study of the Sermon on the Mount. This Sermon is for all believers, including the Beatitudes which are spiritual traits that can only be produced by God. We discuss humility, mourning over sin, meekness, mercy, righteousness, purity, peacemaking, and enduring persecution. Jesus called believers salt and light, and we are meant to influence the world through Christlike character. The sermon details what true Christian living should look like, and  it also contrasts believers with the world. We invite you to come study God’s Word with us tod...

  In this episode, we discuss how Paul declares that “every creature of God is good” and is meant to be received with thanksgiving, the Word of God and prayer. He urged Timothy to nourish believers with sound doctrine, and to reject all things that lead to ungodliness. He encouraged Timothy to train himself in godliness, which profits both now and eternally. Paul had learned what things truly had profit, and the things that bring little to no profit, but how well do we know these things?

Paul stresses our need of discernment, gratitude, and holding to the truth rather than being led astray. We believe that this is one episode you don’t want to miss, so, come study God’s Word wi...

  In this episode, we examine what Paul meant when he told Timothy that he needed to teach believers how to behave in the House of God. He was to also show how the church is the pillar and ground of the truth. Because of this, believers truly must assemble themselves together in worship, living differently than the world.

We also dig into the great mystery of Godliness in this study, and we do that by discussing how Christ was God manifested in the flesh. He was declared by the Spirit, seen o...

In this Q&A, we were asked some wonderful questions, and in them we explore how Scripture handles identity, order, and divine involvement, whether unnamed figures are connected, how angels relate to women, who the young man is in Mark 14:51, why certain sinners weren’t punished, whether Ex. 2 mentions one or two maids, why conviction seems absent in churches today, and what kind of bodies believers will have in Heaven.

  In this episode, we discuss how Paul outlined the qualifications for deacons, and even of their wives. This portion parallels what Paul taught concerning the bishop needing godly character. Deacons must be dignified, sincere, sober, blameless, not greedy, and hold the faith with a pure conscience. Their wives must also meet strict standards. Deacons are servants, not power‑holders. Their conduct must be proven, gaining honorable standing through their faithful service to the Lord and His church... we invite you to come study God’s Word with us today!

  In today’s study, we discuss how Paul taught that a bishop must rule his home well, with obedient, respectful children. Failure in the minister’s family will undermine his leadership ability within God’s house. A minister’s wife or children can strengthen or destroy his ministry. Novices should never pastor due to the dangers of pride and inexperience.

  In today’s episode, we respond to a person who challenged the deity of Christ, and went as far as to attack Who Jesus is. He made several claims about Jesus’ growth, obedience, temptation, suffering, and limitations in His flesh. We defend Christ’s full divinity and full humanity, providing a Scriptural basis for the deity of Christ. We discuss His equality with the Father, His voluntary self‑emptying, and His sinlessness. We argue that whatever limitations He may have had in the flesh never diminished who He truly was and still is. We affirm...

  In this episode, we learn that a bishop must be sober, self‑controlled, modest, and consistently respectable in his conduct, tone, and appearance. He must avoid alcohol, violence, and greed. Instead, he should showcase patience, gentleness, and a Christlike spirit. He should also show hospitality, be kind, and also be skillful at teaching others. He must refute false doctrine while modeling a righteous life. True ministers will serve people sacrificially, not for money or status. They will do this while maintaining a burden for souls.

The ministry affects families, churches, outsiders, and the Kingdom of God, therefore it requires strict qualifications.
