A timeless principle, throughout all ages, throughout all dispensations, is that God has always called upon His people to be strong, to be of good courage, and to have no fear. You might remember when the Jews were miraculously delivered from the tyranny of Pharaoh with the crazy plagues and the amazing parting of the... Continue Reading →
Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk... Continue Reading →
1 Timothy 1:18-20 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; 19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom...

(Repost) I expect everyone is preparing for their favorite Thanksgiving dishes. Maybe this year, you will try a new dish or two. I am sure Thanksgiving is different for everyone, but for most, it is a time to reflect upon what we are thankful for. As I have taken some time to think about what... Continue Reading →
Can you guess who I’m referring to? The Maniac at Gadara. This story is also told in Matt. 8:28-34 and Lk. 8:26-39. Typically, Mark gives abbreviated accounts of events, but on this occasion, Mark gives the longest version of this story with the most details. So let’s read Mark 5! I’ll occasionally interject other details... Continue Reading →
Rom 15:17 I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God. Rom 15:18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, Some time ago, someone wrote a...

My heart goes out to any nation brutally attacked as what happened to Israel, who has a right to defend themselves. And there is certainly nothing wrong with supporting our allies. But now the MCM, the Mainstream Christian Media, has gone into an eschatological frenzy over this war in Israel. Netanyahu is invoking Amalek and... Continue Reading →
“Prove to me God exists!” When that is said to us on a podcast, my first thought is, “Prove to me God DOESN’T exist! That is a way bigger challenge!” Oftentimes, we’ll point out sone truths, like the fact that DNA molecules contain all the genetic instructions to form a life. Then we’ll ask, “How...

Rom 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. Rom 11:12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles;... Continue Reading →
There is one thing that will never change. People will always be people - no matter their personal level of sanctification. We have been given by God peculiar (some more peculiar than others) particular personality traits, which often conflict with the New Man, who is supposed to reflect the image of Christ. Some Believers are... Continue Reading →
This is my all-time favorite of J.C. O'Hair's articles. It's totally epic. You're welcome. -Joel THE EXCEEDING GREATNESS OF GOD’S POWER TO US-WARD WHO BELIEVE What is the measure of God’s power toward believers? What can be accomplished in the believer by that power? How can the believer appropriate and apply that power? THE MEASURE... Continue Reading →
I love the contrast between Adam and Christ in Romans 5:12-19 and 1 Cor. 15:45-49. Adam is the first Adam whereas Christ is the last Adam. Adam was made a living soul whereas Christ was made a quickening spirit. Adam was the First Man, earthly, whereas Christ was the Second Man, heavenly. Sin entered the... Continue Reading →

My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. [12] Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. - Job 23:11-12 One thing in life that is so very important is a correct diet. ...

2Co 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 2Co 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 2Co 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing...

The good folks at Harbinger’s Daily, like many other Christian sites, love to make connections between technology today and the mark of the beast. In a recent article on quantum computing, for example, David Bowen writes, “Scott Townsend of I Am a Watchman Ministries describes how quantum computers combined with AI will be used to...
