“Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.”Psalms 119:34 When I was a boy, I struggled with understanding the King James Bible. However, I stuck with it and prayed for understanding. I understand the beauty and complexity of the grammar and syntax now. I truly… Continue reading Pray to Understand God’s Word

The Red-Green Alliance: Muslims and Marxists Unite!
Many political figures around the globe constantly call for “social justice.” This concept is the driving force behind the modern American political system, but is ingrained within religion as well. It basically aligns Marxist political ideology with Martin Luther King Jr. style religious language. Social Justice is what was preached by President Obama’s pastor, Rev.… Continue reading The Red-Green Alliance: Muslims and Marxists Unite!
Equity Through Salvation
“Before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.”Psalms 98:9 This verse jumped out at me today because of the current political climate (of course, right?), but bear with me. One of the things the Left is calling for is equity. This… Continue reading Equity Through Salvation
We Cannot Fall
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.”Psalms 37:23-24 When we are doing what we are supposed to - reading God’s word, fellowshipping with other Christians, praying without… Continue reading We Cannot Fall

The Double Inspiration and King James Only Controversies
I believe that the King James Version (KJV), or King James Bible (KJB), is the best and most accurate translation of God's words in the English language, and it is the ONLY version of the Bible I use. This can get some “Christians” all riled up. I have been accused of being “King James Only”… Continue reading The Double Inspiration and King James Only Controversies
Our Life Force
Job 10:11 "Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews." Notice Job's understanding that "me" is not the body. Our animating essence is the soul. The body is just the housing for it. God formed Adam out of dust, but it is the breath of life that… Continue reading Our Life Force
Rethinking the Unrest
Something to think about with all the chaos and civil unrest happening right now. Those who are pulling down statues believe as strongly and passionately about their cause as you do about keeping those statues to remember history. They believe in their cause as much - and possibly more - than you do about evangelizing… Continue reading Rethinking the Unrest
The God Who Laughs
Psalm 2:4 "He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision." When "the heathen rage" (Psalm 2:1) and the kings and rulers of the world gather together "against the Lord" (verse 2), the Lord laughs and mocks them. This should chill us to the bone - not for our… Continue reading The God Who Laughs

“And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.” — 2 Kings 6:17 When we feel we are alone, we… Continue reading The Angel Armies
