Found in every book of the New Testament and used in a variety of ways, the conjunction “alla” is frequently used to express contrasts (compare 1 Cor. 3:61 Cor. 3:6
English: American Standard Version (1901) - ASV
6 I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

Toxic Clean-Up
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8, ESV). What in the world had made him say that? Byron shook his head to free his thoughts. He hadn’t used profanity since he was a teenage boy, eager to show off how tough he was. But back there in the conference […]
Waiting for the Master
The Tokyo Traveler states: “If you ever make plans to meet someone in Shibuya [Japan] there is a good chance that they will suggest meeting at the Hachiko statue. Located in a plaza just outside the station you will find an unassuming statue of an Akita dog named Hachiko whose story and memory is beloved […]
POSSIBLE CAUSES OF HYPERCRITICISM
Adolescents and teens tend to be hard on their peers, judging, prejudging, and engaging in what the King James referred to as “evil surmisings” (1 Tim. 6:4). Adults can be no less so, leveling brutal criticisms against leaders, peers, and “underlings” alike. What can motivate such harsh assumptions concerning others motives, words, and actions? DEFLECTION. […]
Dear Lord, Please Protect Us….
I was praying with my youngest the other night when right in the middle of the prayer, I stopped. My mind had drifted to the news I had just watched a few minutes earlier. Tornadoes had ravaged Kentucky and much of the south that evening. There was talk of towns being demolished. The death toll […]
2 Timothy 4:2 – “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine”
We have before us a passage of scripture with some far reaching implications. Of course, we understand that Paul is telling Timothy (as well as you and I) to always teach and set the right example (1 Tim. 3:12) under all conditions whether they be favorable or unfavorable. I do believe that this is a […]
Lessons Learned Standing Outside the Church Building
Last Sunday evening during worship my 9-month-old son started getting fussy. I took him out into the foyer and eventually had to step outside because the Lord’s Supper was being held in the foyer on this particular Sunday. As I stood outside, I realized that I had never been outside of the building when worship […]
Mercy for the Merciful
“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy” (Matthew 5:7). David Evans knew he was in trouble when he saw the big cottonwood in the back yard toppled over after the storm. It had fallen on the neighbor’s yard, breaking part of the wall that separated the two properties. And McLeland was not happy. […]
Is faith alone enough?
THE FIRST THING we need to know about Paul’s answer as recorded in Acts 16 is that is was only the beginning of the answer… When he told the jailer, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ” he did not stop there. A doctor, when asked, “What shall I do about my disease may reply, “Just […]
How many Mrs. Rosensteins are in the city which you live?
JEAN ROSENSTEIN SAT down at a small table in her cramped, one-bedroom apartment and painfully put her thoughts on paper… The arthritis in her fingers made the writing difficult and painful, but she continued. The scrawled words read, “I’m so lonely I could die. So alone. I cannot write. My hands and fingers pain me…I […]
Preserving the Unity of the Spirit
The first several verses of Ephesians 4 have long been recognized as a unity passage. Let’s take another look at it. Here’s the text, from the NET Bible: 4:1 I, therefore, the prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live worthily of the calling with which you have been called, 4:2 with all humility and […]
Get a “full reward”
“Full Benefits” Travel with me through time to the era of our grandparents. We’ve made one of our infrequent trips to the general store and purchased, among other staples, a box of oatmeal. Guess what we’ll find inside that box? Yes, we’ll find oatmeal, the old fashioned variety that takes a few minutes to prepare. […]
The Shield of Shame
Keith Wishum reports that there are several types of beetle larvae that carry what is called a fecal shield. They keep their own excrement and build a shield from it on their backs. That discourages predators — not just for the reasons we might think. It’s not that potential predators find the shield contents disgusting; […]
