"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Tim. 2:15. If you cannot express yourself on any subject, struggle until you can. If you do not, someone will be the poorer all the days of his life. Struggle to re-express...

For those whose theology demands they divide old from new, a specific nation spoken to vs any nation where the shoe fits . . . . as with disobedient Israel vs disobedient USA: " Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst...
