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

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
Why I Believe The Gap (Theory)
**(Updated 9/12/2019)** Image from "Dispensational Truth" by Clarence Larkin Many churches these days are working diligently to argue against the “gap theory” by declaring it “anti-Scriptural” or a “heresy.” Some are even putting anti-gap declarations into church constitutions and by-laws. As someone who believes the gap is true, I am put into an awkward place… Continue reading Why I Believe The Gap (Theory)
Take a Stand on Your Knees
Modern American Christians are emotionally and spiritually soft. We believe that society is persecuting us when stores greet us with “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas”. We feel as though society is after us when a baker is fined and put out of business for not baking a cake for a same-sex wedding. Sure, this… Continue reading Take a Stand on Your Knees
Sons of God: Angels or Sethites
*Updated 2/16/2023 Apparently this is quite the interesting argument in Christian circles. When reading Genesis 6, the KJV says in verses 2-4: “That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not… Continue reading Sons of God: Angels or Sethites
Rightly Dividing the Word: The Psalms Multiple-Timeline Effect
Psalms really is an incredible book. There are passages that move seamlessly between references to ancient Israel under the reign of David to the millennial reign of Christ, full of references to the second advent and Antichrist. You can read the book literally as writings of David, his servants, and others that are talking… Continue reading Rightly Dividing the Word: The Psalms Multiple-Timeline Effect
Notes on Joshua 1-4
Moses is dead, and it is up to Joshua to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land. God tells Joshua that “The book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for… Continue reading Notes on Joshua 1-4
Notes on Deuteronomy 30-34
God wants us to hear, learn, and fear the LORD (Deut. 31:12-13). This order is repeated twice. We are to hear and learn the Word of God, then we are to fear Him. I believe this is because the more we learn of God, the more we cannot help but fear him. Unfortunately, our modern… Continue reading Notes on Deuteronomy 30-34
Notes on Deuteronomy 28-29
Chapter 27 ends with 12 curses for those who don’t listen to God’s commands. Chapter 28 begins with 8 blessings that come to those who “hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God” (verse 2). The “balance” is 12 negatives to 8 positives (so far). The “balance” goes even further off kilter (according to… Continue reading Notes on Deuteronomy 28-29
Notes on Deuteronomy 21-27
This passage gives us some clarity as to what marriage is in God’s eyes. While the debate over legalized same sex marriage still rages on, the Bible says nothing about marriage being recognized by the government as “one man, one woman.” God’s word says nothing about hospital visits or filing your taxes jointly. There’s nothing… Continue reading Notes on Deuteronomy 21-27
