    When Obedience Looks Right but the Heart Is Still Guilty

    Jesus confronts the comfortable belief that avoiding certain actions equals righteousness. He presses past visible behavior and addresses desire, anger, and motive because God has always judged the heart, not just conduct. Scripture says, “Man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD...

    A SURE SALVATION

    When Christ said, “Ye shall know them by their fruits” ~Matthew 7:16, He was not speaking poetically. He was issuing a test. You don’t know from sentiment; you know from evidence. Fruit is observable or the warning is meaningless. Jesus was not warning against private motives behind closed...

    USA attacks Venezuela, captures President Nicolás Maduro and his wife

    Presidents are allowed to act quickly when national security is involved. Donald Trump did not need to brief Congress in advance if doing so could risk leaks or derail the mission. That is not unusual or illegal. Presidents from both parties have done the same thing when timing and secrecy...

    A SURE SALVATION

    What you are really saying is that Christ’s words are dangerous unless they are reassigned to someone else. That is the issue beneath the argument. When Jesus says, “By their fruits ye shall know them” ~Matthew 7:20, you immediately move the weight of that sentence off the present conscience and...

    A SURE SALVATION

    In fact you are trying to talk your way around the words of Jesus, and you cannot do it without twisting them. Jesus did not stutter and He did not speak in riddles. He said, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” ~John 3:3. He did not say except a Jew. He did not say...

    A SURE SALVATION

    That is dodging the plain words of Jesus. Show me where Jesus says, “I am only talking to Israel about a millennial reward.” You cannot, because He did not. Jesus says destruction versus life. “Broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction.” “Narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life” ~Matthew...

    The Road God Chose Was Not Paved

    Matthew 2:13-3:6 The road Matthew lays out from Egypt to the Jordan is not a polished church hallway. It is a dusty trail with danger on one end and repentance on the other. When God warns Joseph to take the child and flee, Joseph does not call a meeting or ask for a second opinion. He gets up...

    A SURE SALVATION

    That statement is rock solid for people who are truly born again. Thanks for the reminder. Romans 5 does not stutter. “Being justified by faith, we have peace with God” ~Romans 5:1. “Being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath” ~Romans 5:9. “We have now received the atonement”...

    Keeping It Centered on Jesus

    We are beginning our journey through the bible this year with Matthew 1:1-2:12 When a new year rolls around, folks start talking about doing better and trying harder. God does not start there. He starts by pointing us straight to His Son. Matthew opens with it plain as day, “The book of the...

    The Courtroom Where Excuses Die

    That idea doesn’t hold water when you hold it up to the Bible. The accuser is God Himself, by His Word. God doesn’t need a hired lawyer to make His case. He’s the Judge, and His Word is the evidence. Jesus said the very words He spoke will judge a man in the last day ~John 12:48. John saw it...

    The Courtroom Where Excuses Die

    Believers are not the only ones reading this forum. Scripture warns that false teachers and those who profess Christ without knowing Him are among us. I have encountered many on this forum. Jesus Himself said many will say “Lord, Lord” and still be rejected ~Matthew 7:21–23. Judgment passages...

    ♪♫ Happy New Year 2026 Everyone! ♪♫ ♥

    Another year marches out of the dust and onto the trail, but the Lord of heaven has not moved an inch. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever ~Hebrews 13:8. Grass withers and the flower fades, but the word of our God shall stand for ever ~Isaiah 40:8. Men change, nations...

    A new year is riding in, but God has not changed. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever ~Hebrews 13:8. Changing the calendar will not change a man’s heart. Repent, walk straight, and keep your life anchored in the Word. Eternity is closer than it was yesterday.

    The Courtroom Where Excuses Die

    One day every excuse goes quiet. No delays. No spin. No hiding behind religion, good intentions, or a cleaned-up version of Jesus. Revelation 20 is the moment history stops moving and every soul stands exposed before God as the books are opened and the Judge takes His seat. This is not symbolism...

    The Courtroom Where Excuses Die

    One day the lights are going out on every excuse, every delay, and every lie people told themselves about God. Revelation 20 is the moment when mercy is no longer offered and the Judge takes His seat. Not poetry. Not symbolism to soften the blow. This is where history stops running and stands...

    How many former Catholics are here?

    First, you say you are “not blaming Christians,” yet your entire argument is built on attacking Christians you dislike, mocking their use of Scripture, and judging Christianity by bad examples. Scripture explicitly warns against that. The failures of men do not redefine the truth of God ~Romans...

    How many former Catholics are here?

    Quoting Scripture isn’t a religious tradition. It’s how truth is known. God never told us to trust tone, credentials, or opinions. He said man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God ~Matthew 4:4. When people “turn off” at Scripture, that doesn’t expose a problem with the Bible...

    How many former Catholics are here?

    Calling God’s Word “babbling” doesn’t make it false. It just shows contempt for truth. Scripture says, “He that despiseth the word shall be destroyed” ~Proverbs 13:13. When people don’t want truth, mockery is usually what comes next ~2 Peter 3:3. I didn’t give opinions. I quoted Scripture. Jude...

    Oklahoma orders first shipment of Bibles for use in public school classrooms

    That line doesn’t show wisdom. It shows blindness. The Bible doesn’t drive people to atheism. It drives them to truth. Scripture says faith comes by hearing the Word of God ~Romans 10:17. What turns people off isn’t reading the Bible, it’s loving darkness more than light ~John 3:19. To call...
