When Jesus told His disciples to gather up the fragments, He was telling them that all truth is essential. Why? Because “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” So regardless of the topic, our question on this podcast will never be ‘is it salvational’ but rather: ‘is it the truth’? Each fortnight, we'll unravel a challenging yet heart-changing theme from the Bible. It's our desire that this ...

After 3 years of no rain, the prophet Elijah stood alone before King Ahab and 850 prophets of Baal with one deciding test. Could Baal bring fire down from heaven?

Poor, humble, and mighty. The story of Gideon teaches us the value of unreserved dedication and complete trust. How else could 300 men take out an army that were as “grasshoppers for multitude”? Indeed, there is more to learn from these two chapters of Judges than history alone. Although 32,000 soldiers responded to Gideon’s call, less than 1% rema…

In the Bible, the second death (permanent) is contrasted with the first death (temporary) which Jesus describes as a sleep. From this sleep, the saved will awake to receive eternal life while the lost—who have rejected the gift of Christ’s life—will have to pay for their sins with their own lives, and die a second time. With this in mind, which dea…

Aside from finding out when the 2300 prophetic days commence and end, we take a close look at the 70 weeks that form the first portion of the prophecy.

"Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed." Daniel 8:14. 2300 days. The longest time prophecy in all the Bible. Yet when does it begin? And what does it mean for the sanctuary to be cleansed? Before we can answer these questions, we must first understand what the sanctuary is, where it's located, and why it's s…

Among the most solemn words spoken by Jesus Christ, is the promise: “Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” Revelation 22:12. The notion that man will judged according to his works, whether they be good or bad, is a common theme throughout Scripture. Although this in no way teaches that …

It’s an age old question. How could a loving God allow so much poverty and injustice? Further, if God is all-knowing, then why did He create Lucifer, knowing full well what would be the result? www.gatheredfragments.com hello@gatheredfragments.comتوسط Gathered Fragments

Not long before the kingdom of Judah was taken into Babylonian captivity, the prophet Jeremiah was given a rather interesting task: to go into a potter’s house. There, Jeremiah saw a potter working with a piece of clay which was “marred”, or disfigured. And so we read that the potter “made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to ma…

Does the Bible teach a trinity of three co-eternal, co-equal divine beings? What does the word 'Elohim' mean? With quotes from God the Father, the Old Testament prophets, the apostles, and Jesus Christ Himself, we are led to one harmonious conclusion--a deep and insightful answer to the question: Who is the God of the Bible? www.gatheredfragments.c…

From Genesis to Revelation, the Holy Spirit is present. Yet not once is it called: ‘God the Spirit’. While this term is vital to the doctrine of the trinity, it is without foundation in the Word of God. By contrast, the Bible describes the Spirit as proceeding forth from, and being possessed by, the Father and Son. Phrases such as “the Spirit of th…

Throughout the Old and New Testaments, the writers of the Bible harmonise perfectly in their description of the Messiah. Central to this common description is the attribute of divinity; inherent only to the Father and to His Anointed One. In some of these prophecies, Christ's relation to the Father is further underlined as being "the only begotten …

Did Jesus take on humanity, with all its liabilities? Did our Saviour assume the nature of man with the possibility of yielding to temptation? Doctrines such as original sin and the immaculate conception of Mary have led many to believe that Christ’s humanity was different to our own. Yet these teachings bear immense ramifications on the sinner’s a…

It is the fifth day of creation. Tomorrow, God will form man out of the dust of the ground.

From Christ’s straight-forward yet profound parable of the wedding banquet comes the line: “many are called, but few are chosen”. Not just a story, this potent parable is also a prophecy. Its dual-application points to the end of Israel as God’s chosen nation, and the final judgment of the righteous and the wicked at the close of Earth’s history. I…

In fact, the Bible …

God’s church began with Adam and comprises all consecrated men and women to the present day. However, the Christian church did not formally begin until after the death and resurrection of Christ when God’s people were gathered together on the day of Pentecost. Therefore, Pentecost was a critical moment for the beginning of the church. Yet even then…

What is a covenant? Simply stated, a covenant is a contract. According to Webster’s dictionary, it is “a mutual agreement of two or more persons or parties, in writing and under seal, to do or to refrain from some act or thing”. Within the pages of the Bible, one will find numerous covenants, or contracts. Consider Genesis 3:15 for example. Althoug…

John 6:3-14 captures the extraordinary miracle wherein Christ fed a company of 5000 men (besides women and children) with one boy’s lunch of 5 barley loaves and 2 small fish.
