12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

HEAD COVERING
The debate surrounding the first sixteen verses of 1 Corinthians 11 stems not from their clarity but from how they should be applied in practice. The text itself is straightforward to comprehend.

Others maintain that these verses contain universal principles meant to be followed by all Christians throughout history rather than merely reflecting the social customs of Paul’s time.

A Study on Romans Chapter 9
Romans exegesis Chapters 9-11 return to the theme of defending God’s steadfast faithfulness, described as “the righteousness of God” in the early chapters of Romans. The righteousness of God, that is, God’s covenant faithfulness has been revealed through the faithfulness of Jesus for all who believe (Romans 3:23).

ABOUT US
Our fundamental purpose: to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ directly from the scriptures. We believe in handling God’s Word with great care and accuracy, always striving to present the truth in context.
While we work diligently to provide faithful biblical teaching, we want to be clear that our materials and interpretations are not authoritative in themselves – the Holy Scriptures alone hold that position of authority.
Like the Bereans who “examined the Scriptures daily to see if what Paul said was true” (Acts 17:11), we encourage all readers to verify our teachings against God’s Word.
Our role is not to replace scripture but to encourage its direct study and understanding. We are guided by Paul’s instruction to Timothy to be workers “who correctly handle the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15), always pointing back to scripture as the source of all spiritual authority and truth.
