Then Jesus said to those Judeans who had believed him, “If you continue to follow my teaching, you are really my disciples and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free”. John 8:31-32 I think I just invented a new word. Maybe its out there somewhere but I’ve never seen it …
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 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 …
Saving Faith
I have discussed the gospel in some detail in the previous posts. I felt the detail was important because of the declining state of the culture that has suppressed the truth of the scriptures, most particularly, the gospel, which is the central message of the bible. I have discussed the what, the who and the …
The Gospel Part 6 – Who is Jesus Christ?
In the last post, I provided basic biblical doctrine about God. To summarize: This post is the most important in the gospel series on this site. It is about the person of Jesus Christ and how through him alone, God offers salvation – eternal life in the Kingdom of God. The offer of eternal life …

The Gospel Part 4 – How Sinful Are We?

The Gospel Part 3 – Sin Bars Entry Into Heaven
The last post was a discussion about good works, the effort many think will earn them a place in heaven. It’s a very common belief, one I used to hold as well. I showed in the last post that Biblical salvation, that is, eternal life, is a free gift not earned or deserved. Think about …

End Time Prophecy in the Gospels Part 6 – Kingdom Against kingdom
The last few posts in this series have been about signs manifested in the visible realm of our culture. I’ve suggested that these manifestations are driven by forces in the unseen realm. There are multiple layers at work in the unbelieving culture today: For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the …

End Time Prophecy in the Gospels Part 5 – Ethnic Uprisings
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. Matthew 24:7 What do we observe in the world today? That is the purpose of this series of posts – to observe what is happening around us to see if prophetic signs are present. If they are, then we should be all the more motivated …
