“Thus saith the Lord God; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!”Ezekiel 13:3 As did ancient Israel, the contemporary United States has a false prophet problem. Moat of them are found in the prosperity gospel (Joel Osteen and Kenneth Copeland) and New Apostolic Reformation (Bethel and Hillsong) camps.… Continue reading Woe to the Foolish Prophets

The Builder Also Breaks
“Thus shalt thou say unto him, The Lord saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.”Jeremiah 45:4 This verse is about Israel, God’s chosen nation. However, I believe it can be applied to the United States as… Continue reading The Builder Also Breaks
Reaching for Salvation
“Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.”Isaiah 59:1-2 We are born sinners, thanks to Adam’s disobedience. The evidence is… Continue reading Reaching for Salvation
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
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
Closing for Coronavirus: A Socialist Dream
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
Salvation is Yours. Just Accept It
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
Dead at Birth
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
Less “Reform”, More Revival
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
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
