Philippians 2:14-15 rightly divided. The command to do all things without murmurings touches the walk, not the standing. You are a son of God and a light already, by grace. Murmuring cannot dim the light; it only gives the world a complaint and muffles the word of life you hold forth.

Can a saved person go on in the works of the flesh and still be saved? The question is really two: is he still saved, and what does it cost him? Paul's own warnings, the carnal Corinthians, and the answer to the Lordship lifestyle argument give a clear, rightly divided reply — security intact, walk and reward addressed honestly.

Paul calls his own writings the commandments of the Lord, yet says we are not under law but under grace. Both stand. A law conditions standing on performance and curses failure; Paul's commandments are given to sons already accepted, touch the walk but never the standing, come with the Spirit's power, and are fulfilled in liberty and love.

The parable of the prodigal son belongs to Israel's kingdom program, not to the Body of Christ. Rightly divided, it reframes the wayward child entirely — a saved child never loses his standing or fellowship, and a lost child needs the gospel of grace, not a works-earned homecoming.

Recognizing indoctrination is the first work; recovering from it is the road. Written for two who walk it — the one who was indoctrinated and the one who also taught from that position — it rebuilds on the rightly divided word: the security that frees you to examine, making Paul the measure, the renewing of the mind, and where you will be fed.

Does the Bible command total abstinence from alcohol? The favorite prooftexts — the grape juice at Cana, the kings of Proverbs 31, the woe of Habakkuk 2 — are examined in context, alongside God's own command of a strong drink offering, and the liberty the Body of Christ has under grace, rightly divided.

Believers leaving experiential Christianity are still taught to find God's will by signs, fleeces, open doors, and inner promptings. Paul knows none of it. This study lays out the grace believer's real path to God's will: largely revealed and plainly stated, the rest proved by a renewed mind walking in wisdom, the outcome trusted to providence.

Grace teaching clears the believer off the law's treadmill — but then what do you actually do? This study builds Paul's constructive mechanism of sanctification: know the finished fact, reckon it, yield your members, and let the mind be renewed — distinguished from both law-keeping and let-go-and-let-God passivity.
