The bible is a lesser Word

Skilled Workman Posted on June 6, 2011 by David BergslandJuly 15, 2020

The bible is a lesser Word — in truth the baby was larger and more powerful at birth. The Bible can’t really be understood without the help of the Holy Spirit. _________________________________________________ And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. [John 1:14 RSV] This resounding, magnificent verse is the core of our faith. Here we have another … Continue reading →

Dealing with false teachers & bad prophecy

Skilled Workman Posted on May 7, 2011 by David BergslandMarch 23, 2020

Dealing with false teachers & bad prophecy is a constant issue today. I’ve spent some time over the past week in conversations on the Gentle Wisdom blog about false teachers and how to handle that issue. Poor Peter! The writer of the blog, Peter Kirk, has been involved in herding cats. This morning I’ve been working on my bible study of the Timothys and Titus. I thought I’d share a short portion of that. 2 Timothy 3:8–9 … Continue reading →

Called to teach the Word?

Skilled Workman Posted on May 1, 2011 by David BergslandMarch 23, 2020

If you’re Called to teach the Word – then God has given us our mode of operation. Remember we’ll be judged more strictly because of the responsibility of the calling. Timothy 2:24-26 The slave of the Lord must not be argumentative. He or she must be kind to everyone, inclined and gifted to teach, patient, correcting those opposed to your teaching with gentleness. God might give them repentance so they can come to know the Truth. In … Continue reading →

Mental Masturbation or anointed teaching – beware

Skilled Workman Posted on April 29, 2011 by David BergslandMarch 23, 2020

Mental Masturbation or anointed teaching – beware as it matters a lot. If your teaching gets you off and does not change the students, you’ve messed up, big time. For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will thwart.” Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For … Continue reading →

Give up your rights!

Skilled Workman Posted on February 18, 2011 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2011

This is an excerpt from “Knowing Jesus as His Bride” As Americans we have some unique problems that people do not in other countries. We believe we have rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. To those we have added the rights of privacy, fairness, prosperity, opportunity, freedom of religion, weapons, fair trials, grand juries, reasonable treatment, and much more. We expect these things. They are our right! The marketing world would have us believe that … Continue reading →

Is play good?

Skilled Workman Posted on February 13, 2011 by David BergslandFebruary 13, 2011

I found myself writing this during a short discussion of some verses in Timothy. It seems good to me and the Spirit to share it with you. It’s a short passage from my next bible study on the Timothys and Titus. Much of it is not doctrine, but a serious question for us to answer personally as we raise our children and grandchildren: II Timothy 2:3–7 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus … Continue reading →

The Kingdom versus the world

Skilled Workman Posted on January 19, 2011 by David BergslandOctober 20, 2021

The Kingdom versus the world is a radical difference. Jesus is Lord of the Kingdom. Scripture is clear that Satan rules the kosmos, the world system. Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out [John 12:30] …you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience… [Ephesians 2:2] … Continue reading →

Publishing schedule changes…

Skilled Workman Posted on January 15, 2011 by David BergslandJanuary 15, 2011

My study of biblical church organization took on a life of its own and has now become a small book tentatively called “Should the church be organized?” Its release will be pushing back the release of “Godly leadership and power” the verse by verse study of the Timothys and Titus. We are looking at Easter for the new church book and early summer for the TT&T book at this point. “Knowing Jesus as His Bride” is still … Continue reading →
