A great series for those who seek a deeper understanding of dispensationalism, the Grace message, the message given to Paul to give to the church, and the differences between the Gospel given to the Jews and the Gospel given to the church.

You know who you are. You are the person other people tip toe around when it comes to discussing current events or religion. You are the person who can spend hours devouring scripture or news with equal vigor, pointing out ‘last days’ events to anyone who would listen to you. You are semi-shunned at church. You are disinvited from church socials, because you are just too intense and narrow-minded. You are called a ‘conspiracy theorist’ or a ‘Jesus Freak’ behind your back. You are always going on about the Lord’s return and that “Rapture thingy”. Admit it. You are one...

"Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things." 2 Timothy 2:7 Did you ever wonder why there is so much confusion in religion today? Why is it that you can hear so many people teaching contradicting doctrines when they all use the Bible? There is an answer.

That may be construed by some as a loaded statement, for sure. Of course, those who have put forth great effort in the study of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture doctrine may dispute its veiling. Indeed, for those who search out truth through the effort of study, and humble reliance upon the Holy Spirit, truth is unveiled. It is of no mystery to the children of God that He requires us to study His Word....

THE RIGHT DIVIDER’S POCKET STARTER This begins a series, in outline form, of basic dispensational themes. It was developed for teaching a young local assembly of Christians in the Philippines in the 1990’s. We published this in 2002 in the form of a pocket guide, and used it widely in the Philippines. This is in outline form. I look forward to reading any comments that properly contribute to the outline. Here is Part One Ages (see also Dispensations) 1. Age of Gentiles (Genesis chs. 1-11; Romans 1:18-32)a. Times of Positive Volition see Innocence Genesis chs 1 & 2.b. Times of...
