“Christian” Men’s Conference Evil Opening

There is a story on CBN about pastor Mark Driscoll calling out the opening event at the Stronger Men’s Conference. The event opened with an evil display featuring a male stripper ripping off his shirt and doing a short pole dance. Disgusting! Now if anybody thinks the Lord is present at such an event after …

Personal Interpretation of the Bible Part 1 – Biblical Illiteracy

A recent poll said that only 17% of Christians in the US indicated the Bible as the primary influence on their perspectives about the current war in Israel against Hamas (Survey). This was a distant second to the media (44%). Another poll from stateoftheology.com for 2022 indicates that among those who identify as evangelicals, 77% …

Aletheiaphobia

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 …

Read on and I believe you will …

Kingdom against kingdom – The Ongoing Supernatural War

NOTE: this is updated and reposted from last October. If you are a believer, you should read this. The scriptures are full of the supernatural. The bible is an historical account of supernatural activity of the unseen realm interacting with the natural, physical realm, manifesting in ways people can perceive. Are these biblical accounts just …

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.
