“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
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
The initial COVID-19 response was excessive, but I understood it. Around March 11th, the NBA and other massive companies and corporations began shutting down. Not long after, the state governments followed suit. The reason, we were told, is that we needed to “flatten the curve” of infections because our medical system was not equipped to … Continue reading Closing for Coronavirus: A Socialist Dream
Coronavirus. COVID-19. Pandemic. Whatever your desired nomenclature, there is no doubt that this pestilence is a global phenomenon. It is not necessarily frightening for its symptoms – like Ebola liquifying your insides while you bleed from your body’s natural openings. It is not scary for its lethality – the total number of deaths appears relatively … Continue reading Salvation is Yours. Just Accept It
Our bodies are animated clumps of dead flesh. The second we are conceived we begin the dying process. However, the spirit within us which is also dead can be made alive through salvation in Jesus Christ (Romans 8:10-11). This is the very concept that we find in John 3:5 when Jesus says "Except a man … Continue reading Dead at Birth
In the aftermath of last weekend’s Las Vegas massacre, Democrats came out almost immediately and called for new gun control regulations. Republicans came out and defended the Second Amendment, and back and forth we went. When a maniac in a Dodge Charger drove into a crowd in Charlottesville, we began fighting over what statues were … Continue reading Less “Reform”, More Revival
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
The Israelites are a “peculiar people” (Deut. 14:2), which is why it is silly for Christians and Americans today to think that all the laws of the Old Testament apply to us. It is why anti-Christians always want to point to the Pentateuch in order to lecture us on our hypocrisy. They are fools to … Continue reading Notes on Deuteronomy 14-20
The words of God are of the utmost importance. I was once told that Bible translations are a “secondary doctrine.” In other words, it’s a preference, like hymns vs. contemporary music or chairs vs. pews. My Bible says “man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth … Continue reading Notes on Deuteronomy 8-13
The children of Israel continue to move from place to place destroying every man, woman, and child (Deut. 3:6) who lived within the great walled cities (Deut. 3:5). Unfortunately, these are the passages that Mohammad usurped when he created Islam. He put himself in the place of Moses as an attempt to steal the blessings … Continue reading Notes on Deuteronomy 3-7
