Salvation Silhouettes #2: Philemon
November 13, 2021
Bond Brothers was probably the most difficult book for me to write. It took a lot of research and I didn’t want to seem to be “adding to scripture.” However, that said, it is one of my favorite books, and Philemon’s conversion story is also one of my favorites! Here’s just a little bit of … More Salvation Silhouettes #2: Philemon
Unto Philemon Our Dearly Beloved: Part 5
June 6, 2019
Philemon 1-2 Allow me to introduce you to Philemon, the primary recipient of this letter. W. Graham Scroggie makes note of the fact that “all we know of this man is contained within this epistle and one or two sentences in the Colossian letter.” He then produces a list of facts that emerge from those … More Unto Philemon Our Dearly Beloved: Part 5

This letter sets forth, most beautifully, the great truths of forgiveness on the ground of the … More Salutation: Philemon, Part Three
God’s Providential Purposes: Philemon, Part Two
May 17, 2019
Philemon 1 As we saw yesterday, Paul opens his letter with these words: “Paul, a prisoner” (v. 1), and he strikes that same note again three more times (vv. 9-10, 13). His tact and consummate skill in communication make it nearly impossible for Philemon to refuse his request. We are provided with evidence here that … More God’s Providential Purposes: Philemon, Part Two
A Runaway Slave
April 27, 2019
The next few posts (8) will be a combination of two sources: the Feature Bible Study Guide put out by the Fundamental Evangelistic Association and Bond Brothers, a historical Christian fiction novel I wrote three years ago. Philemon is such a fascinating book. It gives us an insight into so many facets of first-century Christianity at … More A Runaway Slave
