The Reign of the LORD's Anointed is the sub-title under Psalm 2 in my NASB Bible. It could as easily be titled, "Why do the nations rage?" As we look all around us it's obvious that the nations of the earth are indeed raging against God. We see rebellion in the secular community, and even a rebellious spirit … [Read more...]
Pseudo Ephraem and the Pretrib Rapture
Pseudo Ephraem and the Pretrib Rapture. To P.E. or not to P.E., that is the question! Years ago Grant Jeffrey excitedly announced that he'd found a pre-Darby pretribulational statement in Pseudo Ephraem (P.E.). My eschatological life began as a posttribber. In some ways I'm still wired to be skeptical about … [Read more...]
Are we good enough?
Are we good enough - that is, are we good enough for heaven? Are we good enough because we don't commit any major crimes or sins, and we do kind deeds? Will that get us into heaven? Are you a good person? I know I'm not. I'm certainly not good enough to get into heaven on my own steam. Yet how many times have I … [Read more...]
The Baha’i Faith
Jesus has already returned, at least according to social media post authored by a proponent of the Baha'i faith. If Jesus did indeed return, did the world even notice? This was a question I sometimes asked of Full Preterists who assured me that Jesus returned in 70 AD - who even noticed? According to the social … [Read more...]
The Incomparable Christ
The Incomparable Christ is a a sub-heading in the book of Colossians in my Bible. Christ is indeed incomparable. There is no one like Him! I have been drawn to read Colossians lately and, interestingly enough, I also came across a Social Media Ad by a cult promoting a very different Jesus Christ. As with … [Read more...]
There’s Something about Islam
There's something about Islam. And it isn't good. I understand that where I'm not preaching to the choir, I'll be duly noted as an Islamophobe. That makes me somewhat uncomfortable. However, it won't stop me from speaking my mind. Like many others, my curiosity about Islam deepened after the attack on the Twin … [Read more...]
The Pleiades and Orion
God has ultimate control over the Pleiades and Orion. After all, He created them out of nothing. If God, being omnipotent, can do that, then He can also awaken and change me and you. Charles Spurgeon's March 21st Evening Devotional has become a favorite of mine me: If inclined to boast of our abilities, the … [Read more...]
Bodybuilding and the Gospel
As I look back on my life I'm struck by my attitude and passion for Bodybuilding and the Gospel. I see some similarities. However, I also see a lot of inconsistencies. I first began weightlifting because my younger brother finally beat me in an arm wrestle. My bodyweight had dropped dramatically after weeks of … [Read more...]
Loving God is Knowing God
A quick summary of the message in the Paul Washer video below might be expressed as: Loving God is Knowing God. Of course it's much, much more than that. Loving God also entails obeying Him etc. But Washer's message focuses on the fact that we ought to seek out God and find out more about attributes through His Word. … [Read more...]
The Two Witnesses of Revelation
The Two Witnesses of Revelation have been the subject of a lot of prophetic speculation. Who are they, or what are they? When do they appear? Is it during the last three-and-a-half years before Christ returns, or before? And what do they do? Right from the beginning I want to say that I don't have definitive answers … [Read more...]
