Providing insight on the intersection of contemporary issues and theology, based on a Biblical Christian Worldview.
[…] over thirty years ago, and that was the last of the bouts. Praise God. A few weeks ago, I was reading the study guide for a small Bible study group within my church. We were in Philippians. The commentary that day is what caused me to recall my dream and gave me the motivation […]
[…] ostracized for what would seem to outsiders to be an illegitimate child. And yet, it was the Son of Man, a moniker used eighty-two times in the Bible. And He would become the savior of those who were willing to acknowledge the truth about our sin, the need for repentance, and the reality of […]
[…] of fellow believers. You focus on bringing God glory. You are a friend of sinners. You are increasing in loving your neighbors. You spend time in the Bible. You are sensitive to the presence of God in your daily life. You are joyful and willing to spread the Good News. You faithfully endure suffering. […]
[…] still being controlled, poster on Amazon Instead, they got deeper into darkness and drugs and depression. They hated God. They rapped about hating church and hating the Bible. Instead of seeking Jesus, they seemed to find solace in pursuing Satan and spit out lyrics like “Lucifer, come save me.” They were the ultimate anti-witnesses […]
[…] days after I became born again, I had no experience with religion at all. I was a clean slate. So I took everything I read in the Bible at face value. I had no reason not to. I would describe that period as my “Childlike Faith” period. This was a very wonderful time of […]
[…] and self-centered. As a Biblical Christian, we need to take it at face value. We need to trust what God offers us within the context of the Bible and recognize what we see and understand today is but a poor reflection of what we will understand from the perspective of Heaven (1 Cor. 13:12). […]
[…] meet. The sobering reality is that we are already constructing our legacy whether we intend to or not. The question is not if but what kind. Passing It On The Bible consistently calls God’s people to think generationally. The psalmist declares that God’s deeds will not be hidden from the next generation but that we are to […]
[…] Christmas shopping early,” replied the defendant. “That’s no offense,” said the judge. “How early were you doing this shopping?” “Before the store opened,” was the response. The Bible presents a strong case for mankind to obey the laws put in place by our elected leaders. Romans 13:1-7 begins with, “Let every person be subject […]
[…] surroundings. However, what is missing from the article is the importance of how they are welcomed by regular attendees. If you are a member of a good Bible-believing church, you have likely already been reminded of the opportunity you have to engage with those less fortunate than you as one born-again. What better time […]
[…] Exodus 20:13 and Deuteronomy 5:17 KJV—”Thou shalt not kill.” ESV and all other popular translations – “You shall not murder.” The King James Version (KJV) of the Bible would suggest that it is always a sin to “deprive [someone] of life.” But this is in conflict with other verses (such as Genesis 9:6, 1 […]
[…] to twist God’s Word to fit their agenda. I can’t help but notice that the preachers became rich while the majority of their followers remained poor. The Bible contains many passages about money and being good stewards of our finances, but I have yet to read a command to ask God for money, riches, […]
[…] ending or not? Evil in the Old Testament: Siege-induced Cannibalism I didn’t want to believe that God would allow this horrific passage to be included in the Bible, but here it is, in all its horror. Because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat the fruit […]
[…] Christian Worldview perspective More important than any secular view of AI in the third world is what is offered as a prophecy looking toward the end-times. The Bible speaks of a one-world government that encompasses not just first but also third-world countries. If that is to happen through the use of artificial intelligence, those […]
[…] of people’s miraculous deliverance from danger and of their endurance of extreme suffering and martyrdom. Both exist side by side, and both are within God’s sovereignty. The Bible acknowledges this tension and offers insight into the mystery of God’s ways. Preserved for a Purpose The difference between these two opposites, points to God’s purposes. In […]
[…] conducted in November of 2021, found that 39% of Americans believe that atheists will have the opportunity to go to Heaven. Again, this runs contrary to the Bible. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 1 […]
[…] event. Eyewitness Testimony: Jesus’ resurrection was publicly proclaimed by multiple witnesses (1 Corinthians 15:3–7), while mystery religions were secretive. A Historical Figure: Jesus is documented outside the Bible by the Jewish historian Josephus, the Roman historian Tacitus, and the Roman magistrate Pliny the Younger. Pagan gods, by contrast, are confined to myths that are […]
[…] a lack of proper caution or careless of consequences, irresponsible”. Synonyms include being brash, careless, foolhardy, ill-advised, a daredevil, etc. In the English Standard Version of the Bible, the word “reckless” appears 4 times, all of which are exemplified as negative, human traits. In the use of this song title and repeating lyrics, there […]
Theology on the Lighter Side – Why do Christians love baking? – Because they have the recipe for a blessed life! The Bible offers us God’s recipe for a blessed life on Earth and an eternal life in Heaven. All we need to do is humbly submit to the Lord, accepting Christ as our […]
[…] inside. Being near God is not the same as knowing Him. Proximity is not faith. Familiarity is not obedience. This is us — the modern church. We hold full Bibles but carry empty hearts. We fill our schedules but starve our souls. We champion theology but neglect worship. The well sits right in front of us, […]
I’ve always been fascinated by stories of famous atheists coming to faith in the God of the Bible. I find joy in listening to their accounts of how God’s grace has profoundly changed their lives. It reminds me of my own faith journey, but that’s another article you can read about at your leisure […]
[…] that Christ is part of the Trinity, made up of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As you know, They are one. So, when God in the Bible (Old Testament and New) makes general statements using the word “all”, He is not just referring to the Pharisees as you so conveniently suggest. 2 Corinthians […]

[…] the truth, you just don’t want to hear it. You know what is real strength? Your willingness to obey God. And part of that is reading the Bible, learning the ins and outs, because there is no contradiction of God’s character: To learn requires work, willingness, acceptance of new information, and being committed to […]
[…] The Lord offers us a clear pathway to eternity with Him … but we must take advantage of that offer rather than ignore His clear teachings (the Bible) and rely on our human traditions and opinions, expecting Heaven without acknowledging Christ as our Savior and Lord before physical death. Salvation – Eternal Life in Less Than […]
[…] a Positive Note for the Biblical Christian If one runs a search of the TPUSA website, there are a number of Christian articles and editorials on the Bible, God, and Jesus buried in the background, under the weight of political activism. No plan of salvation that I could uncover, but definitely a willingness to […]
[…] it. The fact remains that our opinions on what is good or bad are irrelevant when compared to what the Lord calls us to do. Clearly the Bible calls us into fellowship with others (Heb. 10:25) meeting and worshiping together. We are to hold each other accountable and lift each other up. Church is […]
[…] 6:35 Bread (and water) are considered the basic food staples of human life. Phrases such as “breaking bread together” confirm its ubiquitous nature. In Exodus 16:4, the Bible calls it the “bread from Heaven” that fed the Israelites in the desert. Jesus uses the illustration of bread to reinforce the point that mankind can […]
[…] Spirit in non-personal terms. The reality is that the Holy Spirit has specific attributes that make clear He is a person and not an unknowable force. The Bible uses a personal term (He and Him and Spirit) when referring to the Holy Spirit. We are to be baptized in the name of the Father, […]
[…] (1 Cor. 13:12). To me accepting Jesus with our heart and as Lord of our lives is also an acceptance of His love letter to us (the Bible). This is in contrast to much of your writing which focuses on personal “feelings” on who God is and seeking the anthesis of Occam’s razor by […]

[…] there is a wicked man who prolongs life in his wickedness Ecc. 7:15. He then says something that no one would expect in a book of the Bible: Do not be overly righteous, nor be overly wise: Why should you destroy yourself? Do not be overly wicked, nor be foolish: Why should you die […]
[…] in the past week, much lower than the 63% of younger teen girls and over 70% of teen boys. 31% of Gen Z women (18-24) read the Bible in the last week compared to 41% across all other Gen Z groups. Only 30% of Gen Z women (18-24) attended church in the last week, […]
[…] declares that the righteous are bold as a lion (Proverbs 28:1). Not because they are fearless, but because they are faithful. This courage is not self-generated. The Bible states clearly that a person, apart from God, cannot do what is right because the heart is wicked (Jeremiah 17:9) and that no one can be […]
[…] their city. Zeb sincerely wanted to be like his pastor. So, much of his time was spent reading anything about prophecy and the great prophets of the Bible. But his wife, Genine, knew Zeb’s life revolved around prayer. She knew that he lived to fight against the darkness. This drive had resulted from a […]
[…] for today comes from Leviticus 10:2, “So fire went out from the Lord and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.” Background This section of the Bible is one of the reasons that so many people view God as the bad guy and Jesus as the good guy. When Jesus walked the earth, […]
[…] suggestive dancing by a gospel music leader is appropriate anywhere, least of all in church?! Conclusion Yes, King David danced intensely before God (2 Samuel 6:14). The Bible describes it as a joyful form of worship, not suggestive, and the focus remained on bringing glory to God. Twerking and pole dancing in church bring […]

Hell on Earth Christians who accept the Bible know that this world is ruled by one who is hell-bound. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, […]
[…] is the one who works in us to will and to do. Now how that all happens is not real cut and dry. But that’s ok. The Bible tells us we are washed clean by the blood of Jesus, that to die is gain, that we are saved by faith, that He created man […]
[…] grievous), and to accept Christ, not only as our Savior, but also as our Lord, following His commands as found in God’s love letter to mankind, the Bible. Romans 10:9 - If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you […]
[…] and very negative consequences. For myself as a Biblical Christian writer, and for pastors in sermon prep, there is nothing wrong with using AI research to glean Bible verses and generate ideas. However, for each of us there must be a line in the sand to prevent research from becoming an antiseptic article or […]
