Did you know that the Ark of the Covenant had three objects hidden within, hidden behind the veil? According to Hebrews 9:4, they were: “a gold jar containing the manna, Aaron’s staff that budded, and the tablets of the covenant.” Each had a purpose for the generation when placed into the Ark. The tablets were […]

Can you imagine someone who is so smart that they are dumb? Sounds, crazy enough to be true! This paradox is explained very simply where someone has “book sense,” but no “common sense.” They are smart and educated, they just are not wise or street-wise. They score high on an IQ test, but have no […]

I love driving. In fact my favorite part of driving is putting on the brakes. It is so thrilling slowing down. Most people enjoy pushing down the gas pedal and accelerating out of a curve, not me. Slowing down going into the curve, now that’s fun. When I see a red light, I get giddy […]

There are only two covenants in contrast to the many covenants when contextually the topic is one replacing the other. The Noahaic covenant (Gen.6) was not replaced by the “New Covenant” (Heb.8), and therefore would not be considered ‘the first covenant” although it came first temporally. The language would be comparable to the second coming (Heb.9) not contextually related to the […]

Man saw the fruit, tasted it, and died, giving us death (Gen.3:6). The Son of Man tasted death, yet lived, giving us life, so we can see (Heb.2:9).

Detained by the authorities from the Bureau of Religious Affairs. Interrogated by the same. Warned that if what occurred in 2008 happens again, the warning will turn into something not so kind. Six officials from the Communist regime of China sitting in front, behind and to the side, all are speaking Chinese. None of us […]

Most men within history are famous for what they did. The annals of time record their accomplishments, heroics, inventions, or possibly their words. Seldom is someone remembered for what they did not do, and yet that is exactly why we remember Enoch. What didn’t Enoch do?

“In the beginning, God….” (Genesis 1:1). Such a simple beginning to a complex chapter, book, covenant and theology. Such a simple beginning to a life lived simply for God. Seeing God, accepting and understanding He is the power behind all that follows those four little words, and all that is, takes a simple faith based […]

How easy is it to mock the sins of ancient societies as irrelevant to our age or level of spirituality? How easy is it to blame their silly superstitions as simple ignorance? But if we do, are we any better than those self-enlightened ones who disdain theism or religion as irrelevant and unsophisticated? Doesn’t our […]
