One Another
(Copyright 12-13-2025) by David Antion (Pasadena, California) You would be surprised how many times the Bible uses this phrase and in what contexts. I have included many various admonitions for all of us in the Body of Christ. It is like a manifesto for the church. I have, by no means, included all the “one another” […]
What Can Parents Teach?
(Copyright) by David Antion (Pasadena, California) Parents will often ask, “What can I teach my children? They learn math, English, history, sports, computer, etc. from their teachers. I don’t have that knowledge or those skills. So, what can I teach my children?” The Bible answers this question emphatically. One of the most important things a parent […]
The Proverbs 31 Woman
(Copyright) by David Antion (Pasadena, California) “Who can find a noble wife” (v. 10)? The word “virtuous” in the King James is better translated “noble” as it is also in Proverbs 12:4 where it talks about a wife of “noble character.” That wife, in Proverbs 12:4 is a crown to her husband, but a disgraceful […]
“In Defense of Bathsheba”
“In Defense of Bathsheba” (Part 1)(Copyright 2023) by David Antion (Pasadena, California) This is the kind of story Hollywood loves. It has romance, passion, forbidden desires, and ultimately a man “after God’s own heart” does the forbidden sin out of “love” or lust because she tempted him. A movie starring Gregory Peck and Susan Hayward […]
The Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man
(Copyright 2015) by David Antion (Pasadena, California) Do “saved” parents hear the cries and pleadings of their unsaved children being tortured in hell fire? Could a parent endure an eternity of seeing their unsaved children being tormented in hell fire and not be able to help them? Is this what Jesus meant when He gave […]
The Good and Bad About Cholesterol
(Copyright) by David Antion (Pasadena, California) Cholesterol has gotten a bad rap over the last couple of decades. There has been much misleading information leading to a great deal of confusion in the general public. Most of us have heard all the bad things about cholesterol and many don’t realize that the body makes its […]
I – Messages
(Copyright 2023) by David Antion (Pasadena, California) What are I-Messages and how do you use them? Many people have heard of the term, “I-Message” because it has been very popularized in books and articles dealing with child rearing and marriage counseling. However, most people know little about when to use them and even less about how […]
How a Pagan Celebration Became a “Christian” Holiday
(Copyright) by David Antion (Pasadena, California) How did the birth of Christ become celebrated? How did Christmas come to be a major holiday in what is called “Christianity”? There is no doubt that the birth of Jesus Christ is part of the Gospel story. There are complimentary accounts in two of the Gospels – Matthew and […]
Appeasement – Propitiation
(Copyright 2023) by David Antion (Pasadena, California) The Bible uses a number of abstract and concrete words. To illustrate. If you hear or read the words “rock” or “cat” your mind can picture that object. What kind of cat you picture is based on your experiences with cats. Rocks or cats are concrete words. Abstract words […]
Without Trust
(Copyright 2023) by David Antion (Pasadena, California) We concluded the 7 days of the Feast of Tabernacles and the 8th Day on October 7, 2023. This year GM’s sponsored Feast was in South Lake Tahoe, California. The Brethren there seemed to love the beauty of the location and were thrilled with the services — sermons, […]
How to Read and Understand Proverbs
(Copyright) by David Antion (Pasadena, California) In ancient Israel, there were people who spent time studying wisdom and writing and learning lessons of wisdom. They were called “wise men” and often had the title of a counselor (see 1 Chronicles 27:32; Ecclesiastes 2:16). There were also “wise women” (see 2 Samuel 20:16: Proverbs 14:1). Those with […]
What is Grace?
(Copyright 2022) by David Antion (Pasadena, California) Is there any word more misunderstood and abused and perverted than this word “grace?” Yet it is one of the most important words in the Bible. For this reason, I want to feature this topic in our Search the Scriptures emails. The English word “grace” is […]
