  • An Informal Study of EphesiansAn Informal Study of Ephesians
    A dispensational outline study of Paul’s epistle to the Ephesians. As we open our Bibles to the text of this rich letter, we are indeed on holy ground.

  • An Informal Study of PhilippiansAn Informal Study of Philippians
    A dispensational outline study of Paul’s epistle to the Philippians.

  • UltradispensationalismUltradispensationalism
    I  have never met a man who admitted that he was an ultra-dispensationalist. I have never heard nor read a satisfactory definition of one. I know that the word has a synonym, “hyperdispensationalism,” and the propagandist who enjoys resorting to the effective technique of name calling may have his choice of the Greek prefix “hyper” or the Latin “ultra” to ...
