Eschatology and Political Activism from the Right and the Left

Living in the Last Days If you travel in evangelical circles, you might hear language especially today that says, “We’re living in the last days.”  Those words, “last days,” occur eight times in the King James Version.  These are two prominent usages: 2 Timothy 3:1, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times […]

The Purposeful Contortion and Confusion of End Time Truth (Part Two)

Part One No explanation of origins succeeds at explaining how everything got here, including how people got here, except for the biblical one.  And the biblical one makes sense, because it fits everything that we see.  Evidence also confirms the Bible. An explosion turning into terrific, complicated design, either physical or biological, just can’t be […]

The Purposeful Contortion and Confusion of End Time Truth

A primary way Satan keeps people deluded about life and the world is by his contortion and confusion of either origin or end time truth.  God reveals with pristine clarity the beginning and ending of everything.  Both of these revelations are vital for faith and practice.  Satan wants people deceived on how they got here […]

The Knotty Subject of Free Will: Do We Have It Or Is It an Illusion? (Part Two)

Part One Free Will When you read “free will,” you read two words, one of which is “will.”  “Will” is simple.  A mind is capable of choosing, like ordering a flavor of ice cream or reaching into the candy bowl for Snickers or Reeses. There are layers here.  The will is the capability of the […]

The Knotty Subject of Free Will: Do We Have It Or Is It an Illusion? (Part One)

Are These Really Uniquely Dark Times Today?

A Debate About Whether Times Really Are Dark A very high percentage of people with whom I speak agree with deep decline of the United States.  I ask many people the question, “Do you think the country is in decline?”  Very few say “no.”  Two different men touched on this subject in recent days, and […]

Israel through a Biblical Lens

A Biblical Lens to See Israel Everyone should look at everything through a biblical lens.  God’s Word is truth.  I hear people make assessments of Israel without any reference to what the Bible says.  On the other hand, some overshoot and use Israel as their prophetic pin cushion. I see two perspectives to organize appraisal […]

The Relationship of the Doctrine of Separation to the Doctrine of Adoption

Salvation and Adoption Under the umbrella of the doctrine of salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone is the doctrine of adoption.  One will see the doctrine of adoption especially in both the books of Galatians and Romans.  God does adopt believers into His family as sons. Adoption is an only New […]

The Whole Universe Both Runs and Acknowledges It Runs on Jesus’ Time

I know that the title of this post sounds like Donald Trump saying, Mexico will pay for the wall.  It sounds like it can’t be right.  Nevertheless, the title is right. Despite Outlawing Jesus, the Public Acknowledges Jesus All Over In the last few days, I talked to someone who worked for Gideons, the parachurch […]

David Whose Heart Was Perfect With The LORD His God?

David.  You look back to Saul, and then back at David.  Of course, David.  You look forward to Solomon, and then back to David.  Of course, David.  David.  Why?  Something is different about David.  What is it? David and Solomon When you arrive at 1 Kings 11:4, the Lord says: For it came to pass, […]
