Providential Irony? The Jewish leaders hated Jesus because He called Himself the Son of the Father (Jn.5:18); and the Jewish leaders exchanged Jesus for Barabbas which means, “son of a father.”

Everyone wants to stand on top of the mountain of triumph. No one wants to slide down into the valley of depression. But with every mountain, there is a valley. One of God’s greatest prophets, a man equal in the Jewish mind to Moses, one who appears to Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration, is […]

One of the most famous American droughts was the Dust Bowl from 1931 to 1939. In 2012, 42% of the country experienced severe, extreme or exceptional drought, the largest such percentage since the mid-1950s. The 2002 drought in Colorado brought the lowest water flow that the state had seen in 300 years. The 1988 North […]

Before the Battles of the Bulge, Iwo Jima or Normandy; before Gettysburg, Antietam or Shiloh; there was another famous battle, not between armies, or nations. It was a battle between Gods: Baal and Yahweh. The false god, Baal, had the One True God, Yahweh, outnumbered. Baal has 450 prophets. How many does Yahweh have? One. […]

We are not showing mercy to others knowing we do not deserve mercy, but showing mercy in order to […]

When someone says, “That won’t work;” “We’ve tried that before;” “We can’t;” ask them to name the 10 spies in Israel who said about conquering Canaan, “We can’t” (Nm 13.31). Nope, I don’t know their names either. Then ask them to name the 2 spies who said, “We can” (Nm 13.30). So would we rather […]

When reading God’s written word, do you see any denominations? If not, be non-denominational, not involved with denominations. If not, be un-denominational, the opposite of denominations. If not, be anti-denominational, against the concept and practice of denominations. If not, be pre-denominational, go back to the simplicity and purity of God’s written word.

“Jesus never said anything about homosexuality.” That is the common rant today, and that is correct. Jesus also never mentioned child molestation, rape, bestiality, “threesomes,” pre-marital sex and many other sexually deviant behaviors either. Yes, Jesus said nothing about any of those activities, if, that is, you want those specific words used. Problem is, Jesus […]
