Questioning the Sanity of Humanity
God has a plan for our cultural sanity. The sanity of humanity is called into question daily. Maybe it is through our isolation and reemergence that we will begin to better understand God’s plan. Possibly, clearing our calendars and separating ourselves from others has the potential to open our eyes to look at life a…
Rushing to Taste
Much is being written and discussed on the airwaves these days about the fast pace of life we have grown accustomed to. Epic bestsellers like John Mark Comer’s “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry” speak to our desperate need to slow down. I have no doubt that all of this rushing to accomplish everything on “our…
A Lamp and a Light
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105 NKJ About a week ago, Psalm 119:105 was referenced in a sermon I heard, and several questions immediately came to mind that had never occurred to me before. Why does the psalmist refer to both a lamp and a…
Trusting Jesus on Mondays
“Trusting Jesus for eternity is easy. Why is trusting Him for Monday so hard?” Pastor Matt Rodin At our last Sunday morning service before the Christmas holiday, our teaching Pastor made this profound statement, followed by a profound question. I am not certain if it was meant to be profound, or just an entertaining quip,…
Is Holy Water Really Holy?
It all started with a popular song by We the Kingdom, Holy Water, playing on the radio. Someone asked the question, is holy water biblical? Good question! And so this post was birthed. I determined to learn all I could about “holy water” and share what I had learned. As usual, I started with a…
Some Radical Thoughts on Holy Communion
I have attended and received Communion in churches of many denominations, and there is no shortage of opinions. Opinions about who is eligible to receive, opinions about whether it is a representation or miraculously becomes the actual body and blood of Christ when we partake, and opinions about how often one should receive the elements…. And guess what… I have a rather radical opinion of my own, but I will spring that on you a little later
Prophecy in the Ages of Silence
Have you ever heard the phrase “History is written by the victors.”? Revisionist history is a fact. The basis for it is at the root of our human condition. Everyone has an opinion. Everyone will go to great lengths to defend that opinion, and those in power, church or state, have the power to publish that opinion for posterity as fact. This was true in the ancient world and is true today, so we must look at history from a spiritual perspective if we hope to uncover the Truth that God wants us to see.
Effectively Selling the Gospel
A friend recently gave me a suggestion to write about how to explain God to someone that has had no religious experience as we know it. I pondered this subject for about a week before it struck me that the question that was troubling me was actually a bit broader. My question was “Why are…
Identifying the Antichrist
Recently, a friend asked me (via Facebook) to look at a website published by a woman claiming to be a modern day prophet and naming a specific individual as the antichrist. He wanted to know what I thought about it. My response was lengthy, and considering the tribulation we all can see in the world…
“One Like a Son of Man” Revisited
The parallel imagery we find in Daniel and The Revelation are striking, but there has been one phrase troubling me for months as I completed a study of Daniel, then another in The Revelation. I recently wrote about the interpretation of the phrase “one like a son of man” in Daniel 7:13, but was having…
