I have recently begun making short videos and live streaming our Sunday morning sermons via Facebook Live. Since several have been curious about this as a possible avenue for teaching, I felt inclined to share some “how to” information along these lines. Since my brief “how to” ended up being 5 pages long, I felt…

Light Reproves Darkness
“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his…
I have had some thoughts in mind as of late which I’ve wanted to express but have been reluctant to pen down because doing so would likely open the door for being misunderstood. I don’t want you to think that I believe myself to be some sort of a lord over God’s heritage or a…
That Pesky Cornelius
Cornelius (Acts 10) is an interesting figure in scripture and does great harm to the common religious notions of today. If contemporary theology were true, Cornelius would have been a condemned man, void of the Holy Spirit, an alien to God and reprobate, never having heard the preached gospel (Romans 3).

Obsessed With the Errors of Another?
Paul, in 2 Corinthians 13:5, exhorts fellow believers to continually examine themselves whether they are “in the faith.” He clarifies his intent – unless we’re reprobate, Jesus is in us. So we must examine ourselves daily to make sure we are in the faith. In other words, just because Jesus dwells in a person doesn’t…
Setting in Order Things Wanting
After the terribly disappointing national events of late last week, my reading this week has been in what are known as the “Pastoral Epistles,” Paul’s writings to two other ministers, Timotheus and Titus. I was reminded this morning while reading through Titus of something I’ve intended to write about for the past month or so,…
Who is the Man of Sin?
The Apostle Paul, in 2 Thessalonians 2 mentions a mystery figure whose appearance is one of the signs to be given prior to Christ’s second coming, the Man of Sin. Prior to discussing a few possibilities as to his identity, let’s first consider what scripture says about him from 2 Thessalonians 2. Christ’s second coming…
