Speak The Word Only

Romans 12:21 KJV “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12:21 gives the believer two commands: do not allow evil to overcome you, and overcome evil by doing good. This verse teaches us that there are two possible victories when someone does evil against us. Either evil influences us until we begin responding in the same spirit, or we refuse to imitate the wrongdoing and answer it according to the character and commands of God. The Christian victory is not simply avoiding retaliation. It is actively choosing good over evil . “Be Not Overcome of Evil” The word translated “overcome” comes from the Greek verb nikaō , meaning to conquer, prevail, or gain victory over. Paul is describing evil as something that seeks to gain the victory. When someone mistreats us, evil can continue its work if their wrongdoing produces hatred, revenge, bitterness, cruelty, or sinful retaliation within us. If someone hates me and I allow their hatred to teach me to hate, evil has gaine...

Charity Never Faileth…” — 1 Corinthians 13:8 KJV Godly love is faithful, patient, and enduring. Circumstances may change and people may disappoint us, but the love that comes from God remains steadfast. True love does not abandon its purpose when difficulties arise; it continues to forgive, serve, hope, and remain faithful. Why I Used Swans God created swans with beauty, grace, and a strong instinct for companionship. Many swans form devoted pair bonds that can last throughout their lives. Their faithfulness to one another provides a beautiful picture of enduring love, commitment, and companionship—love that remains through every season.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” Ephesians 1:3 (KJV) 1. The Structure of the Verse “Blessed be God…” – This is a doxology, a statement of praise. Paul begins his letter not with requests but with worship. The word blessed here means to speak well of or to praise . Paul magnifies God as the source of all blessings. “The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” – Paul roots blessings in relationship. God is revealed not in abstract terms but as the Father, through whom Christ mediates all grace. “Who has blessed us…” – Notice the past tense . The blessings are already given, secured in Christ. Believers do not strive for them as future promises only, but live in the reality of what Christ has already accomplished. “With all spiritual blessings…” – This shows the richness and completeness of what is granted to the believer. Nothing is lacking. These blessings are spiritual, not...

 Genesis 7:1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. Genesis 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.  Genesis 7:3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.  Genesis 7:4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.  Genesis 7:5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. Genesis 7:1–5 — God Commands Noah to Enter the Ark Why did the LORD command Noah and his household to enter the ark? What does God’s statement about Noah’s righteousness reveal about Noah’s relationship with Him? Does the text teach that Noah’s family was saved because of No...

 Introduction Genesis 5 records the family line from Adam through Seth to Noah. At first glance, the chapter may appear to be only a list of names, ages, births, and deaths. Yet it carries an important theological message. God had created humanity in His image, but sin brought death into the human experience. The repeated words “and he died” confirm that the warning given in Eden was true. Nevertheless, God’s purpose continued from one generation to another. In the middle of the genealogy, one man breaks the repeated pattern: Enoch walked with God, and God took him. His testimony demonstrates that intimate fellowship with God was still possible in a fallen world. The chapter closes with the birth of Noah, whose name became connected with the hope of comfort from the toil produced by the cursed ground. Genesis 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Genesis 5:2 Male and female created he them; and bless...

“And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.” — Job 42:14, KJV Introduction Kerenhappuch was the third daughter named in Job’s household after his season of suffering. Scripture tells us little about her individual life, but it gives two details about Job’s daughters together: they were known for their beauty, and Job gave them an inheritance among their brothers. Her story belongs within the ending of Job. God restored Job’s fortunes after profound loss, yet the closing chapter does not pretend that his earlier grief never happened. Kerenhappuch’s birth marks a new chapter in his family’s life. Historical and Biblical Background Job had lost his children during the calamities described in Job 1. After God addressed Job and his friends, the LORD restored Job’s fortunes. Job 42:13 records that he had seven sons and three daughters. Unlike the sons, the daughters are each named: Jemima, Kezia, and Kerenhappuch....

“Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.” — Genesis 25:1, KJV Introduction Keturah enters the Genesis account near the end of Abraham’s life. Scripture names her as a wife and records the six sons she bore to Abraham. It then distinguishes between the gifts Abraham gave to the sons of his concubines and the inheritance he gave to Isaac. Keturah’s account is brief, but it helps us read Abraham’s family history carefully. Many descendants came from Abraham, while God’s specific covenant promise continued through Isaac. Historical and Biblical Background Genesis 23 records Sarah’s death, Genesis 24 tells of Isaac’s marriage to Rebekah, and Genesis 25 turns to Abraham’s later family and death. Genesis 25:1 calls Keturah Abraham’s wife . Verse 6 refers to “the sons of the concubines which Abraham had”; 1 Chronicles 1:32 specifically calls Keturah Abraham’s concubine. These passages use different descriptions of her place in Abraham’s household. They should both be acknowle...

“Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.” — Romans 16:15, KJV Introduction Julia appears only once in the New Testament, in Paul’s greetings at the close of his letter to the Romans. Scripture does not record her words, her occupation, or the work she performed. Yet Paul names her among believers whom the church was to greet. Her brief mention invites us to notice something easily missed in Romans 16: the early church was a community of people known by name. Julia belonged among the saints, and Paul wanted his greeting to reach her. Historical and Biblical Background Paul closes Romans with greetings to many believers in Rome. Some are described by their service or suffering. Others, including Julia, are named without further explanation. Men and women appear throughout the chapter as members of the Christian community. Romans 16:15 places Julia alongside Philologus, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas. Paul also greets...

“And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it. And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.” — Jeremiah 3:7–8, KJV “And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD.” — Jeremiah 3:10, KJV Introduction In Jeremiah 3, Judah is portrayed as a woman , but she is not an individual woman. She represents the people of the southern kingdom. God calls Judah the sister of Israel, the northern kingdom, to expose a painful truth: Judah saw what happened when Israel turned away from the LORD, yet followed a similar path. Judah’s story is about the difference between appearing to return to God and returning to Him with the whole heart . She had witnessed Israel’s unfaithful...

Who Am I, O Lord GOD? — David’s Response to the Promise of God Key Verse — 2 Samuel 7:18 “Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?” — 2 Samuel 7:18, KJV Introduction Second Samuel 7 records one of the most significant moments in the life of David. David desired to build a house for the LORD, but through the prophet Nathan, God revealed something far greater: God would establish a house for David. This was not primarily a promise concerning a physical building. God was speaking about David's household, descendants, kingdom, and royal line . After hearing God's promise, David went before the LORD and sat in His presence. His first response was not pride, boasting, or self-importance. Instead, David asked: “Who am I, O Lord GOD?” David understood that God's promises toward him were greater than anything he could claim to deserve. Verses 18–19 therefore give us a beautiful picture of humility in the presence of grace . David looked backwar...

Nephilim — Giants in the Ancient World The Nephilim are among the most mysterious beings mentioned in Scripture. Their first appearance occurs in Genesis 6:1–4 , immediately before the account of the great wickedness that brought the judgment of the Flood. To understand them properly, we should begin with what Genesis actually says, then compare other biblical passages and only afterward consider ancient traditions such as 1 Enoch. Everything below is original exposition suitable for your teaching material. 1. The Nephilim appear in Genesis 6 Genesis 6:4 declares: “There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that…” The KJV translates the Hebrew נְפִילִים ( Nephilim ) as “giants.” Genesis places them in the same passage as: the sons of God the daughters of men and the mighty men of old, men of renown. The text therefore connects the Nephilim with an extraordinary period immediately preceding the Flood. 2. What does the word “Nephilim” mean? The Hebrew word is Nephilim...
