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 …
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 …

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 …

Will the Western Church Change? – Part 2, The Current State
I introduced the topic of the need for change in the western church in my first post of this series. I began this series with my early observations of what was happening at Asbury.

End Time Prophecy in the Gospels Part 1 – Watches and Warnings
I finished a series of posts about the Parable of the Tares which is the first end times teaching given by the Lord. Up to this point in the gospels, there have only been allusions to judgement in several teachings such as the sermon on the mount and the Lord’s discussion with Nicodemus. The main …
