Peter, John, the Lame Beggar and Paywalls

Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time for prayer, at three o’clock in the afternoon. And a man lame from birth was being carried up, who was placed at the temple gate called “the Beautiful Gate” every day so he could beg for money from those going into the …

Pray for the SBC Convention

The SBC convention is 9-12 June. We should pray for them as they grapple with cultural influences that run contrary to the Word of God. Let’s pray for an uncompromising return to the inerrant teachings of the Bible by all Baptist churches regardless of what the cost may be to them. It’s time for the …

Living the Dream

In the days of those kings the God of heaven will raise up an everlasting kingdom that will not be destroyed and a kingdom that will not be left to another people. It will break in pieces and bring about the demise of all these kingdoms. But it will stand forever. Daniel 2:44 The book …

The Men’s Conference “Pole Dance” Follow Up

Well, once again Christian megachuch pastors are falling all over themselves to smooth over ruffled feathers. After Mark Driscoll gave a Holy Spirit driven rebuke of a pagan display from the platform of a large men’s conference, he decided to return and give his planned message. Of course the spineless pastor Lindell is just giddy …

Moses Blessing

You have joy, Israel! Who is like you? You are a people delivered by the LORD, your protective shield and your exalted sword. May your enemies cringe before you; may you trample on their backs. Deuteronomy 33:29 In the midst of war against their enemies, it seems the world is turning its back on Israel. …

Visioning a Home Church

Starting a home church is not to say there are not good churches out there. I am sure there are but I can’t find one. I know there are pros and cons but the loss of the local neighborhood church is tragic and even unbiblical and the further down the dark road this country goes, …

Why can’t I find a church?

I wrote this but wrestled with the notion of actually posting it because it’s kind of personal. But it is my blog and my personal faith journey and maybe someone out there will resonate with some of this. Maybe not. Anyway.,. I’ve been searching for a church for about 18 months. I’ve been unsuccessful. The …

An Argument for a Return to the Supernatural Interpretation of the Bible

In my study of the bible, I have come to respect certain teachers of biblical prophecy. I have learned so much from people like Dr Chuck Missler, LA Marzulli, Derek and Sharon Gilbert, Dr Michael Heiser, Gary Stearman and Prophecy Watchers, Tom Horn and Skywatch TV, and many others who have brought back a supernatural …

The Gospel Part 8 – Commitment

The true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was created by him, but the world did not recognize him. He came to what was his own, but his own people did not receive him. But to all who have received him—those who …

The Gospel Part 7 – Repentance

The last post was about saving faith. I discussed two different kinds of “faith” people may assume are saving faith but cannot save.  Just knowing the facts (head knowledge) is not enough and temporal faith (faith in God for the needs of this life) is not enough. The only kind of faith that leads to …
