What’s Wrong with the Russian Army?
Before the recent war between Russia and Ukraine, I heard a general assessment of the Russian army, it was dominant. Military experts feared that the Russian army could steamroll through Europe. I heard this from connected people, reporting what leaders told them. Vladimir Putin projected high confidence. He talked big. He gave a fearsome impression […]
The Gospel In the Stars and the Gospel in the Bible
The Gospel in the Stars! The gospel is in the stars! So say a number of books, such as the Lutheran minister Joseph A. Seiss’s The Gospel in the Stars and the Anglican ultradispensationalist soul-sleep advocate and flat-earther E. W. Bullinger’s The Witness of the Stars, following Ms. Frances Rolleston’s book Mazzaroth: the Constellations. (Amazon […]
The Tale of Two Archbishops of Canterbury
Most, I believe, would argue that Thomas Becket is the most famous archbishop of Canterbury. More than any other figure, he put Canterbury itself on the map in England. Fame came from his brutal death at the hands of knights of King Henry II. In his late thirties, early forties, Becket, not even a Roman […]
The True God Versus a Made-Up One
God made man, but men also make their own god or gods. Only one God made man, but men have made many gods. The Bible also talks about this, listing names of various fictional gods invented by men. Among these are Asherah, Astarte, Astaroth, Baal, Chemosh, Inanna, Marduk, and Moloch. There is a reason the […]
Jehovah’s Mercy is Holy–Chesed to the Chasidim
A core term for Jehovah’s mercy or lovingkindness in the Old Testament is chesed (חֶסֶד). This crucial term for the mercy Jehovah shows His people appears in texts such as: Gen. 19:19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me […]
Among Many Great Prayers by David in Psalm 119: Related to Affliction
Many verses of Psalm 119 are prayers from David to God concerning the Word of God. The psalms were sung, but they are prayers sung, which provide examples or wording for prayers to God. You can put your finger down in almost any section to find these prayers. 119:10, “O let me not wander from […]
Eras of Miracles and Divine Interventionism
Where my wife and I are staying, we have waited at one spot four different times for someone to pick us up and every time there on the top of a short brick wall sat a tiny toy figure. Three different days and four rides the same toy person was there. I guessed it was […]
Millions of Muslims are NOT Becoming Christians Because of Dreams!
Many sources report that, in the words of Roman Catholic conservative Dinesh D’Souza, “Millions of Muslims are Converting to Christianity After Having Dreams and Visions of Jesus Christ.” Charismatic sources agree with the Catholics about millions of Muslims becoming Christians through dreams and visions. So do Southern Baptist mission agencies. These visions and […]
Ballot Harvesting, the Big Lie, and the 2020 Election
Just to be clear to you reading, I don’t think President Joe Biden won the 2020 election. Even if I can’t show you the evidence yet, it’s still what I think. Most who join me in thinking the same thing don’t have access to what they would need to prove it. Others are already proving […]
Simeon and Anna As Examples of Looking and Waiting for the Coming Lord
Believing in Jesus Christ is looking for Him. If you are not looking for Him, then you are not believing in Him. He is real. What is looking and waiting for Jesus Christ? Jesus Christ is coming back. That is His plan for the earth. True believers fit into that plan. They want that. Believing […]
