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

The Gospel According to Man
“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

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

Pride Is Nothing To Be Proud Of
In today’s culture, pride has become something to be celebrated. This group’s pride and that group’s pride. We have an entire month dedicated to LGBTQ pride. There are parades and official proclamations promoting it as something to be admired. However, God’s Word has nothing good to say about pride. Nothing. From Deuteronomy to Isaiah to Continue reading

Itching Ears
“For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” 2 Timothy Continue reading

Information Surplus, Knowledge Deficit
Our world is awash in information. In the palm of most of our hands there is a device with access to more information than has ever been available to mankind in the combined history of the world. One estimate puts the amount of information we possess at 300 exabytes. That’s 300 followed by 15 zeroes. Continue reading

Jesus Never Said…Well, Yes He Did
See if this sounds familiar. Well, Jesus never said anything about (fill in the blank). The usual context of this statement is relating to homosexuality, but it can be applied to every other sin man tries to justify which Jesus failed to explicitly condemn during his ministry on Earth. My answer to this is simple. Continue reading
