But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you yet with gentleness and reverence; and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame. 1 Peter 3: 14-16
When reading and studying the book of Revelation (or biblical prophetic passages in general), too many people see things that don’t exist. They do so because they think that there are meanings within meanings in prophetic passages instead of continuing to use the proper hermeneutic. In the...

At its root, an evangelist, in the biblical sense, is someone appointed by God to tell others the “good news” (the Gospel). In that sense then, all Christians are to be involved in evangelism (Matthew 28). It is the responsibility of each and every Christian to tell other people about...

If you turn to Hebrews 4, the human author of Hebrews begins to focus on something extremely important: the “rest” that God has determined for us.
1 Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. 2 For...

For those who have been following this blog for any length of time, you know that I’ve shared details of my health restoration over the past six plus years. My intention is not to bore people with this information, but to enlighten.
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy...

I’ve written a few articles on the Shroud of Turin. They can be found here and here. I’ve actually been studying the subject of the Shroud for quite some time. I’ve come to the conclusion that it is likely a genuine artifact. I say that understanding that there are many others who...

Years ago, I worked at McDonald’s. It was my first “real” job in high school and into junior college. I learned everything about McDonald’s from deep frying fries to cooking hamburgers to creating the shakes. At that time, the shakes were still put together and mixed on the...

For as long as I’ve been a Christian, I’ve heard the term “revival.” I’m sure you have as well. The main problem with the word is twofold. First, it doesn’t appear in Scripture.[1] Second, it means something different to each person. In effect there is no...

In the very first chapter of Romans, the apostle Paul discusses the reality of what people do who are not authentic Christians. Essentially, they suppress the truth in either how they live or what they say.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of...

Note: The following article (it continues at the original poster’s site), reminded me of the articles I’ve written on determining God’s will in the past. I think what the folks at Eternity Matters has to say is well worth the read.
Many Christians get borderline – or...

Here’s a post that you may not agree with and how do I know that might be the case? Simply because I posted a few of these thoughts on a social network when I simply asked the question: “Does anyone else ever feel biblically vexed by what’s going in the world??”
Here are a...

I used to be involved in the modeling industry (the type of models you build and paint), as a hobbyist and producer. Those days are long gone and as much as I’d like to continue building and painting models, I’ve found that I have little time to do so even though I’m essentially...

The Bible makes it clear that Christians who mature in the Lord go from “strength to strength.” I believe this is referring to our strength of faiththrough which we depend upon the Lord for His provision in all areas. As we trust the Lord in the smaller things, the Lord provides more...

The updated version of the situation regarding seven year-old James Younger, whose non-biological mother wants him to transition from a male to a female, is that there is hope. All authentic Christians should be praying regarding this situation. There is no excuse at all not to do so.
Turns out, a...

For those who are aware either from reading my previous article or hearing about it on a social network or elsewhere, it appears that seven year-old boy whose mother recently won a court ruling in favor of medically castrating her son (over the objections of the Christian father), and turning the...

In many ways, it appears that the world – certainly the USA – is becoming a soap opera of the most deadly kind, with dramatic changes that by all accounts, are abysmally insane. There’s no other way to describe it. The insanity of the immoral Left is taking over many areas of...

Either I’m experiencing more trials than normal or it simply seems that way due to my study in the book of James. It’s pretty much been one thing after another. Whether it’s helping my wife cope with the after effects of her recent surgery, dealing with the purchase of a newer...

First, I simply wanted to offer my sincere appreciation for everyone’s prayers concerning my wife’s surgery. It went well. In fact, it went better than I think the plastic surgeon thought it might. This was our second plastic surgeon as our first one retired before he could complete...

Just a quick word on my health and my wife’s upcoming surgery this Wednesday. It’s been several weeks since I quit coffee and it’s been a bit up and down. That’s probably normal for someone who has been drinking one to two cups of coffee daily for years.
I also know that my...

Not sure about you, but I spend a good amount of time perusing the ‘Net to learn what the latest attraction is within Christendom. It’s often disheartening. It’s like going onto a social network to read the rantings of the lunatic Left, convinced that President Trump has broken...

Just a note: this is not the most in-depth biblical article I’ve ever written. In fact, to many it may pale in comparison, but I think it needs to be said. Wanna hear it? Here goes…

I cancelled my NETFLIX subscription about three years ago because I was seeing the writing on the wall with the type of “original” shows that Netflix was glorifying itself with by producing and airing. That and George Soros allegedly poured a million dollars into the company and...

As a Christian, whenever another Christian (family member or friend), goes Home to be with the Lord, it’s always bittersweet. While we rejoice in the fact that they are now with the Lord, in His Presence, and no longer having to deal with the sin nature that the Lord Himself removed from...
