“And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”Revelation 6:2 I have always thought of Antichrist as an archer carrying a bow, as in bow and arrow, just without the arrows. There… Continue reading He “Had a Bow.”

Gain the World, Lose Our Souls
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”Mark 8:36 Yesterday, the Benham Brothers spoke at my workplace.

Walking Circumspectly
“See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,”Ephesians 5:15 In my Sunday school class, we have been talking about our “Daily Walk,” and how we take many Biblical concepts for granted.

Revisiting Romans 13
As of yesterday, President Biden has made it abundantly clear that he wants to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for all Americans. He announced a mandate that all businesses with more than 100 employees require vaccination or weekly COVID testing. This is unethical and unconstitutional. Worse yet is that I fear Christians will once again turn to… Continue reading Revisiting Romans 13

Dispensational Truth
Romans 10: 9-13 says, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever… Continue reading Dispensational Truth
Through “The Looking Glass”
THE LOOKING GLASS SELF In 1902, C.H. Cooley published a social theory that I believe holds up over a century later - “The Looking Glass Self.” The basic premise of the theory is that our behavior is shaped by our perception of how we believe others see us. In other words, perception of “society” is… Continue reading Through “The Looking Glass”
Word Study: The “Elect”
“Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.” -1 Peter 1:2 This is one of the key verses for the Calvinist/Reformed doctrine regarding the “elect” - those who were “predestinated” (Romans 8:29-30) by… Continue reading Word Study: The “Elect”
