Notes on Ruth

Ten Virgins

Ten Virgins

In the parable of the ten virgins, Jesus is telling the Disciples what the kingdom of heaven will be like. By doing so, he actually describes who will be in the Kingdom, by contrasting them with those who will not be in heaven, and what the difference was between those who would end up in heaven and those who will not. After all, we know that the kingdom of God will be filled with only true believers. So in this parable of the virgins, we have five who are true followers and five who are false followers.

Ruth Notes & Outlines

Please join me in my new study in the book of Ruth.
Ruth is a poignant story of faithless disobedience, that leads to death, sorrow, bitterness, and then loyalty and finally redemption. It’s my prayer that you will realize that if an inconspicuous Moabite peasant woman could achieve royalty for her descendants in Israel, then anyone can gain Salvation.

Get on the Man Scale

Ken Graves, the senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Bangor ME, offers up his opinion of the, “Man Scale”. Ken’s scale has men like Mr Rogers on one end, and men like to Mr T on the other end. His advice to all men is to get on the man scale and be a man. So, are you some place between Mr Rogers and Mr T? If not, then you better look to God through Christ to find out where you are lacking, because God wants all men to be men.

Did Jesus Truly Say,
“I Will Build My Church Upon Peter?”

The Catholic Church has been making a mockery of Scripture for many years. There are many beliefs the Catholic Church holds that I have problems with, but for now I will explain why they are wrong in their interpretation that Peter is the rock upon which Christ has built His church.

  • Ruth 2:1-13

    Marriage is a gift from GOD, but it’s certainly not the only gift that comes from HIM. When we look at the day Ruth and Boaz were allowed to meet one another, what we learn from that will apply to all the gifts God gives us. If God wanted to give you stewardship of some…

  • Ruth 4:1-22

    Because Ruth has claimed Boaz as her Kinsman Redeemer, Boaz is in a position to do what ever is in his legal right to do. His first course of action is to contact the one man who has first right to Naomi’s property, and the right to marry Ruth. Mind you, like Boaz, Christ too…

  • Ruth 3:1-18

    We see in todays study that Naomi is somewhat of a matchmaker, doing her best to manipulate things that will put everything in order. It is not a bad characteristic to have, especially in a male dominated World where women are property and seldom have rights. Yet, in Israel, GOD made provisions for the poor,…

  • Ruth 2:14-23

    Sometimes it’s not what we do, but rather what we are willing to do. This is an old saying, and in Ruth and Boaz’s situations it is all together true. In today’s study we see Ruth taking the advice of her mother-in-law ,Naomi, by heading out to the fields to glean for food. In those…

  • Ruth 1:1-5

    The book of Ruth is a beautiful love story of a woman who left home and country to follow a woman she loved dearly. Ruth was a widow, who loved her mother-in-law so much she told her, “Entreat me not to leave you, Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go,…

  • Ruth Overview

    No Scripture gives a better picture of a Redeemer than the story of Ruth. In and of itself, Ruth is a love story involving a woman who married into an Israelite family living in her country of Moab. She is blessed to have a widowed mother-in-law she would grow to love like her own mother.…

My Book “Sleuthing The Scriptures”

In my book I added many commentaries I have written over the years. Many are posted here, but in the book I go into more detail. These are topics I have dove deeply into for the purpose of helping others understand GOD’s Word. It has long been my passion to open up the Scriptures and explain them in a way most Christians can understand. Too often theologians write in a way that only seminary students and other theological professors can grasp.

Many who have read my work, understand that I try to write in such a way that it makes it easier for Christians who are still drinking milk to understand. I try my best to explain things in a way where the reader will not need a lexicon or dictionary handy to understand what I am conveying. If something needs a deeper explanation, I will do so with proper notes to help bring the point to a solid understandable conclusion.
