The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end […]

Paul said that all Scriptures are inspired and profitable for doctrine (teaching people), reproof, correction (correcting yourself and others), instruction in righteousness. With it, a man of God can become perfectly prepared for every good work (2 Tim 3:16-17). Although many of us memorized that verse as kids, many of us did not also memorize […] If logic can be used to explore reality, here are some questions that may be worth kicking around: God is infinite (and we know He is), and He shows infinite love to those who trust in Christ to save them from the wrath of God to come by giving them infinite/eternal heaven (and we know […] In the Bible, a Covenant is a promise between two parties, usually between God and Man (either a person or a people-group). There are 8 Divine Covenants in the Bible, depending on how you count them, and they fall into two categories: conditional (“if you do this, I’ll do that”) or unconditional (“I’ll do this […] Love the sinner? You have heard it said “hate the sin, love the sinner,” but I say… Is that really what the Bible teaches us to do? The easy answer is ‘yes’, Christians are to love everyone, friend, foe, good, bad or indifferent – including the sinner. The Sermon on the Mount is the standard […] When was the last time you granted someone repentance? Not forgiveness, but repentance? If you’re like me, the answer is ‘never – I can grant forgiveness, but I can’t grant repentance’. Oddly enough, the Bible consistently uses phrases like “God granting repentance” when talking about people who repent and trust Christ for their salvation.

Merriam-Webster defines “deist” as “a movement or system of thought advocating natural religion, emphasizing morality, and in the 18th century denying the interference of the Creator with the laws of the universe”. In other words, […] They call me Antipatros. Herod Antipatros. But you can call me Antipas. I used to be somebody important. Great, even. Not great enough to have the word ‘great’ in my name, like my father did, but I was a somebody! And now I’m a nobody. This is my story. You see, dad was not only […] 
I get weird stares from people if I ever mention that Disney has an obsession with single-parent households. Look no further than Disney’s animated movies. They’re sorely lacking in displaying intact, two-parent homes. Why is Disney, a champion of “family values”, so obsessed with featuring children in homes that do not strive for and appreciate […] You have heard it said “Once saved, always saved”. I find that statement to be a little simplistic. When I’m asked the question of eternal security, I like to give the following answer: Can you lose your salvation? Absolutely! Can you lose your salvation? Never! I think that about sums up what the Bible has […] |
