John 15:18 "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you." We live in a society that is becoming increasingly hostile toward Christians and biblical Christianity. Believing in biblical views of sexuality, gender, race, marriage and marital roles, government, judicial systems, etc. lead those around us to label us… Continue reading I Hope to be Hated

The Simple Profundity of John 11:35
John 11:35 "Jesus wept." As a young man, I used to use this verse as a joke to prove I memorized verses. It was not until I became a man that I realized how amazing this verse is. Jesus, the creator of the universe, almighty God in the flesh, the Prince of peace, the King… Continue reading The Simple Profundity of John 11:35
The Old Gods of the New Age
I Wrote a Book. It has been a difficult and arduous process, but I completed a goal that I have had for several years. All throughout my time in graduate school, I wrote paper after paper on a range of religious topics from the supernatural to capitalism. I never published any of my work, so… Continue reading The Old Gods of the New Age
Reformed Theology: Why I Reject TULIP
As I seek to learn more about The Bible and gain insight on the words of God through teaching, I continually run across a trend in Christianity that I have, until recently, only been vaguely familiar with – Reformed Theology. This sounds interesting. Theology – that is, the study of the nature of God, and… Continue reading Reformed Theology: Why I Reject TULIP
Are You Willing to Die for Christ?
In my frustration in conversing with my fellow Christians who fear standing on Biblical truths in matters of homosexuality, tattoos, the Trinity, and which Bible translation is the inspired word of God (if any), I decided to see how our brothers and sisters in Christ were treated as the Church was first formed. I turned… Continue reading Are You Willing to Die for Christ?
Improve Your Bible Study in 6 Easy Steps
I was raised in a Christian home my entire life. I cannot remember a time when I was not in church as a child. This was both a great testament to the Faith and dedication of my parents, but also a hindrance to my own spiritual growth. I cannot remember the date that I got… Continue reading Improve Your Bible Study in 6 Easy Steps
The Coming Civil Conflict
About 10 years ago, I predicted a simultaneous civil war, world war, and economic collapse. At that time, we were in the midst of the “Great Recession” and escalating conflict overseas between Middle Eastern nations including our own “war on terror” that continues to solider on. Right now, it seems that those last two issues… Continue reading The Coming Civil Conflict
Is Leviathan a Dinosaur?
Leviathan. If the name is familiar, it is because leviathan is one of the most popular creatures in mythology and role-playing video games (the image above is from Final Fantasy XV). He (sorry, but I am assigning a gender here) is depicted as a massive sea creature – often a serpent. Leviathan is also the… Continue reading Is Leviathan a Dinosaur?
Gods of the New Age
I have been working on a theory for a few years now, though I did not realize it at the time. It will hopefully shed some light on some of the more interesting and controversial topics of our day. I’m working on a much larger version of it, but I would like to gauge interest… Continue reading Gods of the New Age
My Weakness. My Strength.
I am usually not one to speak of my health. As a guy who spend over a decade earning money based on strength and toughness in the roofing industry, hiding my pain has been something that I have become accustomed to. However, as I get older, I realize more and more that many of us… Continue reading My Weakness. My Strength.
