We have gained nearly 2000 subscribers in the last 24 hours! How?

With the support we have received from our GiveSendGo fund, we have begun paying YouTube algorithm to show our content to more people. Although folks cannot decide which promotions they see, they still have the choice to press that Subscribe button or not. Nearly 2000 folks have decided to press it. To be clear: We are not paying for subscribers. We are paying to give more people an opportunity to choose to subscribe. These promotions are not through gimmicky companies; they’re directly through YouTube. We have only spent about $30 so far. Once this campaign finishes tomorrow, we will let the channel rest and continue releasing content like normal and see if these new subscribers turn into quality viewers. Thank you for your support!

It's past time for an update on here. I do well to update TBS on YouTube, Facebook, and the newsletter, so sub, like, and sign up to receive those updates. Here are our videos since the last update on GiveSendGo:

A fellow in Zimbabwe has been watching Topical Bible Studies videos and contacted us. We’ve been studying, and now I have put him in touch with some local Christians, and they plan to study more and baptize him today! Regarding your gifts toward Topical Bible Studies, I think of this verse:

Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account. Philippians 4:17

I've had the website topicalbiblestudies.com since 2010. The first article I ever wrote is still the most popular one, and now there's an updated video to go along with it. Are babies born with sin?

For a few years, I have been studying the topic of "salvation by faith alone." I originally published my findings as an appendix in my book, Clouded by Emotion: Studies on the Holy Spirit and Miracles. I've now released it as a 47-minute video on the channel. You can watch it here:

Thank you for your love and support!

The more I spend ministering to folks online, the more I see the crafty false gospel called the "Prosperity Gospel." People have been lured into a terrible place that will devastate what faith they do have one day. I have prepared three videos analyzing the "name it and claim it" "word of faith" movement. Here they are:

1. Should I name it and claim it?
2. Can a word of faith get me what I want?
3. Does God want to bless me with health and wealth?

Thank you for watching and supporting!

We have another YOU-funded video! Thank you for helping us answer the question, "How do I know if I've grieved the Holy Spirit?" It's less than 6 minutes long.

Every day, we receive comments, questions, and requests from viewers. Here's how many folks you helped reach with Topical Bible Studies in September.

A friend from New Orleans came by, and we recorded two videos. Here's the first one:

This video is a bit of a niche topic. Perhaps you've asked it. Yet I've not heard it hotly debated personally. However, based on the online response I received to a video we released in April (which is quickly becoming one of our most popular ones-if you'd like the link, let me know), I decided to do this 19-min follow-up: "What must be said at baptism?" Does the Bible give us a verbal formula we must say at a baptism for the baptism to be valid?

I had forgotten to post the previous video here, and now there's another one! So, check them both out. Funded by you! Thank you for your encouragement. 

How to spot a FAKE apostle! (There’s a TEST)

Does Psalm 51:5 prove inherited sin?

Reading Mark 3 was one of the SCARIEST things that ever happened to me. Is it true that if I’ve blasphemed the Holy Spirit that I can never have hope? Let’s explore two questions: 1. What does it mean to blaspheme the Holy Spirit? 2. Is it possible to blaspheme the Holy Spirit today?

I've been making videos since 2013. But I only did it when I found the time. In November of last year, I decided to go "all in" on teaching the Bible on YouTube. Based on my research and prayers, when 2023 began, I thought if YouTube was going to be the way to go, we should be able to reach 3,000 subscribers by December 31, 2023. It's not even September yet, and we are about to tick over to 4,000. God be praised. Thank you all for your interest. If you're not subbed yet, maybe you'll be number 4k! Don't forget to share 🙂❤️

Are you SURE you're pronouncing the name of JESUS correctly?

You've likely heard of Jesus Christ. But what about Iesous? How about Yeshua? What's the difference, and how important is the sound our vocal cords make when talking about the Son of God?

In 24 hours, 1000 people had seen this video. It's at 1600 views now. Are you one of them? Thank you for your love and support!!

This one is on the dreaded 666! I had a guest in the studio to help me with this one (and one more upcoming video). I hope it helps you. Thank you for your support!

Here's another video YOU funded! Thank you!

Perhaps you've never noticed this before. Matthew's account raises a question. So does John's account. Both questions are answered in Luke's account of the feeding of the 5,000.

Video files are big. I needed to expand my current setup in order to keep shooting, and thanks to you all (and a Prime Day deal), I had the available funds. May God be glorified.

Here is the latest YOU-funded video!
