Due to the Ferguson fiasco, every now and then I’ll hear someone try to pretend that black-on-black crime in the USA is some crazy rumor. That’s a shame. Black On Black Oppression Since all hospitals and police stations are required by law to report crimes to the FBI, the FBI’s numbers are the […] This particular project comes from my Trash to Treasure series. The whole point of the T2T series is to make something nice from something that someone threw away (using tools from garage sales). A couple months ago, I came across a home-builder who was throwing away a built-in cabinet. Turns out his clients decided they […] Isaiah chapter 53 is perhaps one of the best chapters that shows the mechanics of how the substitutionary atonement works. Regrettably, it’s full of pronouns, and that makes it easy to overlook exactly what is happening in the atonement. Several years ago, one of my mentors suggested that I re-write the chapter and replace all […] Has anyone ever asked you to join a “Christian” FaceBook group that just seemed out of step with everything in your life? Or asked you to pray for a particular group of people that are too far off your radar and you wondered “why should I pray for these people?” Don’t get me wrong – […] I’m waiting for someone to come out of the woodworks and say that Joshua’s conquest of Canaan was no different than the actions of ISIS today. And could you really blame them for being confused? Both groups seem to operate under a “kill all unbelievers!” mentality – a clear violation of the Geneva Convention. Yet […] 
As a beginner woodworker, I’ve found John Heisz’s videos and website to be quite helpful. Here’s his YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/user/jpheisz), and here’s his website (www.ibuildit.ca). He has an “Easy Angle Cutting Guide” protractor tool that I’m going to make, but rather than mark out the angles by hand, I figured I’d take an online protractor […] In Gen 1:26, we see God saying “Let Us make man in Our own image.” Who is the “Us”? There are several options: A – God is referring to the angels B – God is One Person and occasionally despite speaking (or being recorded) as more than One Person C – There are multiple Persons […] I came across this the other day and needed a place to store and remember it. It’s a list of changes from the 1611 KJV to the (more popular) 1769 KJV. I don’t know if it’s exhaustive, but I did look up a few of them. KJVOs crack me up. ..except when they go overboard, […] The dominant end-times view of the Church in the West is that the rapture will take place at the beginning of the 7-year Great Tribulation. This view hasn’t always been the case. In fact, as Church history goes, it’s a pretty recent view, coming into prominence only in the mid 1800s. This view teaches that […] 
Archeologist of all stripes – Biblical, secular and otherwise – affirm that the ancient city of Jericho has walls that did indeed come a-tumbling down. They even affirm that the walls tumbled outwards instead of inwards – not at all what you’d expect for a city under siege. You can see the 9-acre archaeological site […] |
