You Did It, Charlie
“But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this name.” Acts 4:17 For too long this has been the case, especially among our elected officials and political pundits. It’s OK to invoke the name of God, that can Continue reading

Nothing New Under the Sun
“That which has been is that which will be, and that which has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9. The celebration we’re seeing in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination falls into the above category, nothing new. It has been done in the Continue reading

The Gates of Hell Will Not Prevail
Disgusted? Absolutely. Shocked? Not at all. Looking around at the sewer that goes by the name of social media, I’m disgusted by what I see following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. In fact, disgusted is not a strong enough word. We need a new word for the reaction to this level of hate and vitriol. Continue reading

“But if even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to (other than, more than) what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what Continue reading

I’m sure by now most of you have seen the photo or the video from last night’s opening ceremonies at the Paris Olympic Games. (Said photo/video won’t be posted here because I kind of like Continue reading

Getting Serious About Hell
As God allows America to slide deeper and deeper into the abyss of a Romans 1 depraved mind, something I find particularly disturbing is the flippant, irreverent way in which people regard Hell. What has reinforced this lately is a popular Tik Tok video in which a woman pleads with Christians to stop trying to Continue reading

Standing With Israel
I am saddened by what I see happening, saddened but by no means surprised. It took less than a week from the time the sub-human animals who go under the name of Hamas stormed into villages in Israel slaughtering innocent men, women, and children, for a wave of antisemitism to sweep across this country and Continue reading

The Rapture of the Church
There is an old adage which, depending on the attribution you subscribe to, is either an ancient Chinese curse or a line from a speech by British statesman Joseph Chamberlain in the 1830’s. May you live in interesting times. Usually, the quote is used ironically with interesting referring to times of difficulty, chaos, danger, uncertainty, Continue reading

He Is Risen!
“But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is in vain.”1 Corinthians 15:14. The resurrection of Jesus is the centerpiece of the gospel. Christianity stands or falls based on the doctrine of the Continue reading
