What is meant by the “perfect work” of patience in James 1:4?

Posted on September 4, 2026 by Steve Husting

God’s work does not happen over a day or a week. He works in our lives over a lifetime. Unfortunately, according to the Parable of the Soils in Matthew 13, many will fall away too early and not bring forth fruit to perfection. Only the fourth soil does that, and it requires patience.

What did Jesus mean by “be perfect” in the Sermon on the Mount?

Posted on August 28, 2026 by Steve Husting

In Matthew 5:48, the word “perfect” is teleios, and the Vines Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words defines it as “signifies having reached its end (telos), finished, complete, perfect.” For its use in this verse: “complete, conveying the idea of goodness without necessary reference to maturity…”

To get a fuller sense of Matt. 5:48, we must read the entire Sermon on the Mount (chapters 5-7), of which this verse is a part. But the gist of the matter is that the perfection God desires of us is to have a heart inclined toward God in surrender and humility, and toward people as a sympathetic helper, as one who shares in their frail humanity (that is, does not think himself as superior to others).

Am I to always forgive people’s slights against me?

Posted on August 21, 2026 by Steve Husting

This mindset of the spiritually minded Christian is a humble mind that acknowledges that they have sinned much and have been forgiven much. They know the grace and mercy of God and can show it to others. If someone is too angry to show mercy, then the Spirit has more work to do on that person’s heart. Still, there’s another way to see this.

What is the reason for John being in exile?

Posted on August 18, 2026 by Steve Husting

John wrote the book of Revelation. He wrote of himself, “I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 1:9).

I have trouble praying because of my guilt and shame.

Posted on August 18, 2026 by Steve Husting

That’s because your mind and heart have not yet caught up the glory of the gospel that saves you. Your feelings have not caught up with the glorious truth. Here is what happened on the cross when Jesus died for you in love.

A holy God had wrath on us because of our sins. He poured out every last drop of that wrath that mankind deserves onto His Son, who bore it for you. His wrath has been spent on the Son and there is none left for you. Read Rom. 8:1.

When does the Separation between the Sheep and the Goats in Matthew 25 occur?

Posted on July 24, 2026 by Steve Husting

There are several interpretations. This is my understanding. Matthew 25 follows 24 in logical sequence. At the end of Matt. 24, when Jesus talks about the events of the last days before His coming, He tells them to be ready. The end of chapter 24 gives an example of being ready and not being ready. This idea of readiness permeates the next sections of Matt. 25.

Do the 10 Commandments still have the same meaning in the New Testament as they did in the Old Testament?

Posted on July 17, 2026 by Steve Husting

There are two approaches to answering this question. First, the books of Galatians and Romans affirm that God had always granted righteousness by faith and not by the deeds of the law. Romans 1:17 and Galatians 3:11 both quote the Old Testament (Habakkuk 2:4), which tells us that the “just shall live by faith.” Both Romans and Galatians are all about righteousness by faith apart from following Moses’ laws. We are saved by faith, not by laws.

How can every eye see Jesus at His coming if the Earth is a sphere?

Posted on July 3, 2026 by Steve Husting

The “every eye will see him” phrase is found in this part of the Bible:

Revelation 1:7
Behold, he [Jesus] is coming with the clouds, and ‘every eye will see him,’ even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.

The reason why everyone around the world will see Him is found here:

Matthew 24:29-30
Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Observation #1: Note that the entire sky around the world will be dark.
