Paidion Books Bible Bullets

Some people rely so heavily on "context" (many times this really means only the distorted way they originally learned a particular Scriptural concept from someone else) that the plain, hard truth contained in a particular verse is watered down and made more palatable to our self-centered flesh and soul. The following short treatments of various verses attempts to emphasize the plain, hard truths that have been lost or misplaced. These "bullets" are for shooting down false teachings and practices (even our own!) - not for injuring your brothers. Handle with care, prayer and grace.
