    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...

    Knowing verses means nothing if you don’t believe them as God wrote them. “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Timothy 3:7).

    Bold Truth, Gentle Strength: What the Church Is Missing

    “We who are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.” ~ Romans 15:1 We live in a “me” culture, but the Bible says to the strong, “Bear the weak.” God calls His children to bear one another, not to flex their freedom. Romans 15 is not a pep talk. It’s a gut...

    Grace for the Weak, Restraint for the Strong

    “Let us not therefore judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.” ~ Romans 14:13 Romans 14 is not a how-to for confronting heretics or correcting those who pervert Scripture. It’s a challenge to us all in how...

    Wake up. The night is almost over.

    Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. ~ Romans 13:11 We live in a generation of sleeping people. Sleeping through work, sleeping through play, sleeping through life. We are busy being...

    "When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end...
