OUR INFINITE, UNCHANGING GOD
God has some amazing attributes. People often think of His almighty power or of His total knowledge of everything and everyone. There are those who also contemplate God’s presence everywhere. But how about the fact that the Lord is both infinite and unchanging? Those are interesting to ponder upon as well. First, for the […]
THE CERTAINTY OF DEATH
Death is a very unpleasant subject to talk about. However, we’ve all been impacted by it at one time or another. We’ve lost family members, friends, pets, potted plants, and on it goes. As ugly as it is, death is a fact of life. Even if you have excellent health, longevity in your family history, […]
ATOMS: GOD’S BUILDING BLOCKS
Sometime back I wrote about how nature itself testifies of God, providing Scriptural evidence of this as well. This time I want to zero in on one specific item in His amazing creation: The atom. We have heard about atoms most of our lives, studied about them in school, and so on. Let’s take […]
A REBUTTAL AND A MARVEL
You sometimes may hear a fellow believer say, “The Bible says that in the last days you won’t be able to tell the seasons apart.” With all the hype about climate change, this statement seems to have gained in popularity in the last couple of decades. But where do people get this from, and […]
OUR IDENTITY IS IN JESUS
So many times, people define themselves by what they do for a living or what they do for fun. Others find their identity in what people say about them or in mistakes they have made. For those like myself who have a criminal record, identifying with the things that have been said about me […]
FOR THOSE WHO WILL NOT REPENT
God’s love is phenomenal. His mercy is great. That is reassuring to know. But the Lord also knows that there are people whom, no matter what He does to reach them, just will not repent of their sins. They continue to drink, fight, curse, carouse, practice sexual perversion, endorse abortion, practice racism, steal, rob, […]
DOGS AND SWINE
Matthew 7:6: “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.” In Matthew 7:1-5, part of Jesus’s famous Sermon on the Mount, the Lord tells us not to judge others in the sense […]
These Prophetic Times – Article 3
THE CHURCH IN THESE LAST DAYS In my first two Prophetic Times articles, I spoke a lot about the state of the world and the things going on that will lead to a one-world government. This has not changed. The World Economic Forum had their annual meeting for 2023 in Davos, Switzerland, in January. […]
THE BIBLICAL DEFINITION OF INCLUSIVITY
One big topic in today’s politically correct, morally corrupt landscape is inclusivity. According to secularists and apostate Christianity alike, inclusivity means accepting people regardless of race, gender (or lack thereof [!!]), religion, or sexual orientation—unless you are a Bible-practicing Christian or white or both, of course. The very fact that such discrimination exists means […]
REMEMBER THOSE WHO ARE PERSECUTED
1 Thessalonians 5:17: …pray without ceasing,… Hebrews 13:3: Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also. 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2: Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, […]
CHURCH THEATER
2 Timothy 4:1-5: I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they […]
THE TESTIMONY OF NATURE
Many people, even a number of believers, are so busy with their lives that they seldom if ever take time just to notice the trees, the grass, the clouds, the sun, moon, and stars—nature itself. Secular science has turned the story of nature into a litany of lies about evolution and a collection of […]
PERSECUTION
In the United States, for a long time it was usual to think of persecution as something that happens in other countries. Many thought that persecution of Christians would not happen here in the land of the free and the home of the brave. In the past several decades, however, this attitude began to […]
APPLYING THE WORD OF GOD
Psalm 119:105- Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. In this well-known Scripture passage from the Psalms, the writer is, in plain terms, extolling the benefits of the Word of God. Clearly he has seen how to live a life that is pleasing to God by […]
ORDAINED?
The history of the ordination of clergy is long and complex, too much to quickly explain and certainly beyond the scope of this blog. If you have been a reader of the King James Version of the Bible, when you see people being assigned to various positions in the Church, you will see words […]
WORDS HAVE POWER
Most people have heard and/or uttered the saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Like so many other sayings, this one has also passed into the working knowledge of handling and viewing life that so many people draw guidance from. As Christians, however, we must measure life’s […]
THE BODY OF CHRIST
Have you ever been surprised at the number of titles some people in the body of Christ carry? Reverend, Right Reverend, Doctor, Apostle, Prophet, Priest, Father, Bishop, Archbishop, Primate (yes, that is an ecclesiastical title [!]), and so on…It seems like some folks almost need a second marquee in front of their church just […]
THOSE WITH RECORDS
Not that long ago I wrote a blog about what I called “Jonah Christians,” believers who feel that certain types of people should not be given a second chance even by God Himself, much the way that Jonah felt about the hated Assyrians. This time I want to zero in on a specific group […]
WE ARE INDEED IN THE LAST DAYS
2 Timothy 3:1-5: But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, having a […]
THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE COMMON
A lot of times, life does not make sense. When a seemingly pointless tragedy happens it can be hard if not impossible to understand. Case in point: In July 2021 I lost an 18-year-old relative to gunfire. Taylor was a good, hardworking young Christian man just getting started in life, yet in his prime […]
