Gentile believers, who used to be outsiders, not connected in any way to God, who did not know God’s house even existed, have now been moved into God’s house, adopted  by Him to become members of His family with all the rights and privileges of a son or daughter. You are not a “distant relative” […]

Quite possibly on ofmthe most powerful 10 verses I have read in a long time. Paul lays the foundation for what he believes about salvation. Every facet of our salvation is of God. If any part of our redemption belongs to us – then it is not grace. And we are not redeemed. We were […]

Have you heard that saying – “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey?” That is the perfect way to describe my “Coffee, the Bible, and Paige!” devotional/study podcasts. During each production of a podcast episode, I will do the following: 1. Read the Bible passage under consideration. 2. Copy and paste said passage into my […]

We are chosen by God to participate in the riches of Heaven. We have been joined to a glorious future awaiting us.  Paul prayed that we might have Holy Spirit-inspired wisdom and revelation that we might know Him… NOW…and in this knowing, understand the hope He has called us to, embracing His riches and His […]

Right out of the chute, Paul brings up predestination. He says it is based on God’s love for us. Let’s chat a bit about it, shall we? Here is the video link Ephesians 1:1-6   Spotify and iTines podcast links are to the right. Blessings! Paige

Ephesians is really a letter to the church at Ephesus AND all the other churches in Asia Minor that were the result of the meteoric move of God in Ephesus during Paul’s three year tenure there. This letter has no recriminations – no church-specific doctrinal or behavioral issues. This letter was written approximately 10 years […]

I summarize my feelings and thoughts about the Gifts of the Spirit. Are they for today? Should we pursue them? Is Christianity the only religion that has these spiritual gifts? How can we tell the difference between legitimate manifestations of these gifts and other manifestations pretending to be of God? here is the video link: […]

What follows are a collection of thoughts from my podcast series on Galatians. As I closed the book on Galatians, these are the things I think about as a result of this study. They are more or less in the order that these thoughts appeared in my study of Galatians, but not necessarily. The Law […]

Paul does not pull his punches – not even a little – even in his concluding remarks. The video link to Youtube is here: Galatians 6:11-18 Spotify and iTunes links are to the right.   Blessings!!! Paige  

Paul identifies another aspect of how a true follower of Christ should act… being a giver. Here is the YouTube link: Galatians 6:6-10   For Spotify or iTunes, look for the links to the right. Blessings! Paige

What is the context in which the Gifts of the Spirit are to be used? How can we be certain if what we are seeing or hearing is a legitimate move of the Holy Spirit? Also – were you aware that things like Healing, Tongues, and Prophecies are not only in the purview of the […]

Agape love requires us to be outward-focused… which sometimes means coming alongside someone trapped in sin to help them navigate their way out. Here is the Youtube link: Galatians 6:1-5 For iTunes and Spotify – see the links to the right! Blessings! Paige

In this episode, I look at the gifts of the Spirit as found in 1 Corinthians chapter 12, attempting to give each one a working definition. Do I believe these gifts are for the Church today? Hmmmmm……..   Here is the video link: Gifts of the Spirit part 1 for Spotify and iTunes, use the […]

The results of following the Holy Spirit vs the results of following the “unholy spirit” of legalism. Here is the YouTube link: Galatians 5:16-26     For Spotify and iTunes, see the links to the right! Blessings, Paige

I wrap up my series on what I believe about Jesus. Today I focus on an aspect of following Him that is sometimes overlooked… the offense of the cross. We are not called to be obnoxious. But eventually we WILL offend. Here is the YouTube link: What I Believe… Jesus Part 4 As always – […]

There are two ways to think of the Law… ignoring it is not one of them.   See the links to the right to listen on Spotify and iTunes Podcast.   Here is the link to the video version on YouTube: Galatians 4:13-15   Blessings! Paige

Paul continues to take aim at the false teachers and their wrongful application of the Law. We don’t pursue obedience to the Law as a means to obtain favor with God. But the Law still has a place in our lives. What is it? See the links to the right to find this podcast in […]

In this third installment for February’s “What I Believe” topic of Jesus, I share what I believe about Him. I refer to the Apostle’s Creed for my text, but I also share a bit about intellectual honesty. Believe it or not, it all ties together. Give it a listen and tell me what you think! […]

What are we free to do in Christ? In this podcast I discuss what I think Paul is talking about when he talks about “falling from grace.” It is a tricky subject, but I am beginning to come to peace with this passage. Give it a listen and see what YOU think… and let me […]

This had to have been a hard subject for Paul to address. His former beloved faith – Judaism – and his new found faith (beginning to be called Christianity) were incompatible. The Galatians HAVE to be able to see that they can NOT mix the two. And the Judaizers? They had to have been infuriated […]

The Judaizers are trying to win the hearts of the Galatians from Paul. Are they succeeding? Do we see this type of behavior in today’s churches? Will truth win out – or will the popularity contest win folks over?   Here is the video link… Galatians 4:17-20 Click on the link to the right to […]

I don’t know if anybody’s seen those movies where they show these ballroom dances back in the 14th, 15th, 16th century, where there are very ornate motions and movements between the dance partners. I kind of picture my Christian life like that –  a dance. And here’s my dance as a believer.  1. I want […]

Paul digs in more here, trying to get the Galatians attention. To walk from Grace to Law is to walk from life to death.   Were Paul’s efforts in Galatia wasted? Here is the video link… Galatians 4:8-11 And find me on Spotify or Apple by on the links to the right….     Blessings! […]

These are seven hard-hitting verses from Paul. He continues the discussion surrounding the “pedagogue and the ward” and what happens when the ward comes of age. …and something unexpected (to me) – a call to prayer. What if all it took to unleash God’s power in my life was prayer? What if all it took […]

In this episode, Paul continues his demolition of the Judaizer’s arguments, reminding the Galatians that the Judaizers are not offering them something they don’t already have – connection to Abraham. You can view the whole video here: Galatians 3:23-29 And as always, search for “Coffe, the Bible. and Paige” on Apple and Spotify podcast platforms […]

Paul begins to dismantle his opponents arguments by circling his wagons around the fact that before the Law came, Abraham “…believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness…”. You can watch the podcast here: Galatians 3:15-22 And as always, you can search Spotify and Apple Podcasts using “Coffee, the Bible, and Paige” for […]

Welcome! A little about my “process” of developing my Bible devotionals on my podcasts…. The process that I’m using is based on Psalms 1:  1 Blessed is the one    who does not walk in step with the wickedor stand in the way that sinners take    or sit in the company of mockers, 2 but whose delight is in the […]
