One of the major, possibly the most major, misunderstanding concerning Revelation, is…an incomplete thought. In fact, it is the same incomplete thought found in many’s misunderstanding of the disciple’s life: “the heath and wealth gospel”, “why do bad things happen to good people”, etc.Revelation teaches we are a kingdom of/and priests:• “and made us a […]

God is our:1) Creator – Therefore he God and knows how we are designed to function (Genesis 1-2).2) Savior – Therefore he is the Sacrifice and loves us enough to free us from what destroys us (John 3).3) Ruler – Therefore he is King and in a position we are not that demands respect (Acts […]

Red Light, Green Light, Yellow Light. Sounds like a Dr. Seus book. Instead it is an oversimplification that will hopefully make a memorable and valid point.Red Light – These are the “thou shalt not” commands. The Bible is filled with them, including in the new covenant of Christ: “put away lying” (Ephesians 4:25).Green Light – […]

If there is a true gospel, there are false gospels as Satan counterfeits the real deal (Galatians 1).Jesus’ resurrection means ours!

Mercy is as it is defined, loyalty to God’s covenant”.The point is not that God […]

If there is a true gospel, then there will be false gospels (Galatians 1).False Gospel #1 – If the true gospel is Jesus is king, that means the commonly accepted “faith only” of modern preaching is unbiblical because it denies the gospel of Jesus as both King to be obeyed and Savior to believe in […]

How and Why does Paul go from “And don’t get drunk with wine, which leads to reckless actions, but be filled with the Spirit: speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs…. (Ephesians 5:18:19). I really like how the HCSB and CSB use the word “reckless” here. In English we can make the […]

Early Christians met in the synagogues on the Sabbath.Both are true, but does that mean Christians must keep the 7th Day holy?Let’s examine the first claim.• “On the […]
