The Trinity Is Like…
Have you ever heard someone, trying to be helpful, make a comparison of the Trinity with something here in the world? Maybe you’ve heard one comparing the three-in-one Godhead to states of matter like solid, liquid, and gas? Or a man being a father, son, and grandson?

Jesus is Both the Lion and the Lamb

Some Thoughts on Melchizedek
A friend recently asked me a few questions while studying through the Book of Hebrews. I thought the questions and my answers would make an interesting, short blog entry. You’ll find them below: As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. Who in the days of his flesh, when he…
