Acts 5:29 "Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men." This ties in well with yesterday's verse (John 19:15). Christians who capitulate to man's laws (this includes rules, norms, and mores as well) that violate God's laws are in violation of the Bible. We see far… Continue reading It is Time to Disobey Man

I Pledge Allegiance to the Son
John 19:15 "But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar." This verse is indicative of modern "Christians" who put their politics above God. We see this from the Left as government has… Continue reading I Pledge Allegiance to the Son
This World is Overcome
John 16:33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." In my nearly 40 years of life, I have never seen the entire world in so much chaos. I have never experienced… Continue reading This World is Overcome
I Hope to be Hated
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
The “Heretic” Strikes Back: Why I Reject Young Earth Theory
Much ado has been made among my peers regarding my belief in The Gap. I have heard many attacks on The Gap, and I have mentioned and disputed them HERE. However, there have been very few attempts to explain their own beliefs on the matter. I have deduced that many of them likely believe in… Continue reading The “Heretic” Strikes Back: Why I Reject Young Earth Theory
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
Should Christians Use Pascal’s Wager?
Have you ever heard the phrase, “better safe than sorry”? It is often applied to everything from wearing a seat belt to using a helmet when riding a bike to going to throwing away milk that has a slight sour smell. The idea that we might as well do something that might not be… Continue reading Should Christians Use Pascal’s Wager?
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?
