One of the happiest, providential moments that happened to me after I left my New Age life behind was finding a great Christian Book Store. It had an extensive selection of Biblical commentaries, apologetics works and books on eschatology. It often seemed as if a particular book appeared on the shelves just when I … [Read more...]
Therefore We Will Not Fear – Psalm 46
God is our refuge and strength, therefore we will not fear - Psalm 46. Over the last few years, this Psalm has been a particularly great source of comfort to me - so much so that I often read it aloud and with gusto. Life can often throw unexpected trials at us. Or we suddenly find ourselves walking in the Valley of … [Read more...]
Second Thessalonians Two a Pretrib Problem
Is second Thessalonians two a pretrib problem? I've covered some of this material before, so this is really a recap of sorts.

In a … [Read more...]
What is Revelation’s Hour of Testing?
What is Revelation's Hour of Testing? Rev 3:10 contains a specific promise to the Philadelphian Church. The nature of this promise has long been the subject of debate.

The title of Teichrib's book and Oneness are inextricably connected. When I left the New Age, I figured I'd finally said adieu. As a New Age … [Read more...]
An Eighth Letter to the Church
What if Jesus Christ wrote an eighth letter to the church? What if the Lord wrote a personal letter to me and you? What would He say to us? I get nervous thinking about it. Every once in a while I read through the Seven Letters to the Seven Churches portion of the Book of Revelation. I'm sure I need to do it more … [Read more...]
Acknowledging Our Need of Christ
Acknowledging our need of Christ is requisite to a true coming to Christ. And what is it that an unbeliever needs? Isn't it a rescue from God's wrath against sin? This truth is vividly brought out in Geoffrey Thomas' little book Everyone's Invited. Thomas notes that God (who is omniscient) knows everything … [Read more...]
The Modern Priests of Moloch
The Modern Priests of Moloch: The ancient practise of Moloch worship appears to be alive and well today, at least in some form. There are obvious differences. But the heart of the matter is essentially the same. When a media outlet leaked news of the possibility of Roe V. Wade being overturned pandemonium broke … [Read more...]
Confession and Contrition of Past Saints
The confession and contrition of past saints can be helpful to Christians today. Our generation has become too self-obsessed. The sentiments of our secular culture have bled into the church - instead of the church influencing the culture. We're seeing this in certain creeping movements into the church. Some churches … [Read more...]

In a previous post (Looking Back from Emmaus) I looked at the Emmaus discussion Jesus had with two disciples. Jesus had opened up the Old Testament for them. What happened over the last few days had been forecasted by Moses and the prophets. This time we will be Looking Forward from Emmaus. If the Old Testament … [Read more...]
