    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    What you are describing shows why Scripture calls each of us to settle the question of where we truly stand with God. According to the Bible, being a Christian is not a forum label, it is the reality of having repented of sin and believed in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (Acts 3:19, Romans...

    Jesus is God

    No, this isn’t me being a “fan” of any particular translation; this is simply pointing out what God’s Word actually says. Micah 5: 2 says clearly that the “goings forth” of the Messiah, “have been from of old, from everlasting.” His going forth from the Father did not start in Bethlehem, because...

    “If evil were not made to appear attractive, there would be no such thing as temptation. It is in the close similarity between good and evil, right and wrong, that the danger lies.” ~ Billy Graham

    Because the Bible is not up for debate. I don’t follow religion, I follow Jesus Christ. I don’t...

    Because the Bible is not up for debate. I don’t follow religion, I follow Jesus Christ. I don’t lean on tradition, I stand on Scripture. I don’t water down the gospel to make people comfortable. I proclaim it as God gave it.

    Why Paul Didn’t Build a Brand

    True, but there is also another side to that coin that we must face honestly. Many churches today are not just weak, they have been completely overtaken by carnality. This is precisely what the Bible speaks about: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their...

    Bible Study For Our Times

    Yes, English is another language than Hebrew and Greek. And yes, strict word-for-word translation is not always linguistically possible. But the solution is not to give up the goal of accuracy. The problem is not whether the English must have exactly the same grammar as Greek. The question is...

    The Wisdom the World Can’t Grasp

    Most people today think they’re wise. They chase after information, degrees, self-help, and spiritual “insight” from every corner of culture. But the Bible makes it clear—there’s a wisdom from God that this world will never understand. It’s not taught in classrooms or uncovered through...

    Why Paul Didn’t Build a Brand

    Yes, that's it, both are professing Christians. There are those who are truly born again and there are those who only profess Christ with their lips but whose hearts are far from God (Matthew 15:8). It's also true that even the born again can fall into this if they are not rooted in the Word and...

    Why Paul Didn’t Build a Brand

    Something is just a little bit off in the church today. A certain lust has come into the faith of too many professing Christians, but they don’t realize it’s there because it comes so subtly. The lust to be impressed. To be wowed. To sit under smooth-talking preachers and gospel salesman with...

    Why the Cross Still Offends, And Still Saves

    In a world obsessed with intellect, credentials, and self-promotion, the message of the cross still sounds like nonsense to most. That’s exactly how God said it would be. “For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God” (1...

    A Voice in the Wilderness.....

    That’s a false analogy. Jesus told the Parable of the Good Samaritan to teach about individual love of your neighbor, not national borders or government policy. Jesus was not issuing commandments for immigration or foreign aid laws there, He was criticizing religious hypocrisy and demonstrating...

    A Voice in the Wilderness.....

    You know I did not put words in your mouth and you know it. I did not call you evil. I made a general statement directed at anyone who thinks putting America first is evil, not specifically you, unless that’s what you believe. If you don't see yourself that way then it does not. But instead of...

    A Voice in the Wilderness.....

    You didn’t answer what I said at all. I asked how putting America first is evil or un-Christian, and instead you rambled about suffering and unemployment like that somehow proves your point. That’s not a response, that’s deflection. If you think prioritizing your own nation is sinful, then back...

    Jesus is God

    Nice try, dragging the Lord's Prayer from Luke 11 into this thread does not change a thing. It is a weak diversionary tactic from the actual issue being discussed, which is Micah 5: 2 and what the plain reading of this verse clearly says about the eternal origins of the Messiah. Whether or not...

    A Voice in the Wilderness.....

    Now, is that better than the Democrats who openly and aggressively oppose Christian values at every turn? Absolutely. They’re for abortion, transgenderism, anti-family platforms and silencing biblical truth. So spare me the false equivalency. If you think putting America first is somehow evil...

    Jesus is God

    The NIV of Micah 5: 2 actually says the same thing, it’s just been smoothed over for readability. But it still affirms eternity: “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of...

    A Voice in the Wilderness.....

    Show me where Trump’s campaign platform was built on “returning the U.S. to Christian values.” Go ahead, quote it. I’ll wait. Because I never heard him call for national repentance, or open the Bible and point people to Jesus. So no, his campaign wasn’t built on that. You’re accusing him of...

    A Voice in the Wilderness.....

    This feels like the rare case where I just need to start with a question: Why are we obsessing over Trump when this entire political system, but particularly under Democrat control for the last 50 years, has been an open rebellion against God? If you’re looking for rotten morality and a lack...

    The White House needs Biblical Christianity.

    There has not been biblical Christianity in the White House for a very long time. Using Jesus’ name and talking about prayer does not a Christ-follower or gospel messenger make. The elevation of Paula White to head of a “Faith Office” is not progress. It is regression…a dangerous one at that...
