19 Apr The Unforgivable Sin
Scarier words from Jesus you will not find: Mark 3:28–29 (ESV) “Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an...
10 Mar God Does Not Need You. Now Serve.
He is “I Am.” God’s existence as described in the Bible is truly set apart from all other ideas of God or “gods” humans have ever comprehended. Other religions have conceived of god in a way that makes him temporary, caused or created. The ramifications of...
28 Jan God Was Right All Along, Put Your Hands In the Air
I always try to tweet and post scientific research that confirms what the Bible already says. It happens often. For many years in the 20th Century historians denied the existence of the Hittites from the Bible. Then further evidence confirmed they did exist at the...

21 Sep Letting our Light Shine Looks Different than we Thought
I grew up in Church. I was taught to let my light shine. I thought that meant listening to Christian rock instead of Secular “devil worship” music. I thought it meant wearing Christian T-Shirts and refusing to swear. I thought it meant the things that we...
30 Apr The Altar is Still There
Genesis 13:1–4 (ESV) So Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the Negeb. 2 Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. 3 And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel to...
