Irony is the use of words to mean the exact opposite of what is expected. History’s ultimate irony involves a promise of eternal life that has in fact produced eternal death. In the third chapter of Genesis we find the Serpent of Eden telling Eve that rebellion against God’s command would result in life, not […]

The Bible is the written record of God’s way of life, the way in which He commands all people conduct their lives. Those who obey His commands will spend eternity with Him in His earthly kingdom. Those who do not will be burned to ash in the Lake of Fire. Those who obey Him will […]

Without government “every man does what is right in his own eyes” (Prov. 21:2). What is wise to one person is unwise to another. What is liberating to one is restrictive to another. Without a singular, agreed-upon standard of behavior, chaos results. Chaos invariably leads to anarchy. In a state of anarchy, each person determines […]

When Jesus said to the Jews of His day that they were gods He was referring to their potential status in the next life. The offer still stands for those who truly seek God. Whether one attains that exalted level of life for eternity depends entirely on one’s belief in and obedience to the Words […]

In the series titled Jesus of Nazareth–God, Man or Godman I proved Scripturally that Mary and Joseph’s son Jesus was 100% man, no different from you and me. Because of this fact, He is our perfect example. He is the Prototype that reveals to us the “walk” (lifestyle–1 Jn. 2:6) we must walk in order […]

Anciently it was understood that a son had the same power as his father. The invocation of the father’s name automatically transferred his power to his son. In this sense father and son were considered “one.” Though this fact was known when Jesus walked the earth as a man and is stated repeatedly in the […]

Since God determines who rules over the nations of men, I do not vote. Not being a part of that aspect of the American society, I rarely speak or write about politics. When I do delve into that quagmire I try to make clear who does what and why. For a couple of decades I, […]

No honest person can read what God said about and did to the people of Sodom and Gomorrah and still claim that He accepts the homosexual lifestyle and welcomes sexual deviants into the Body of Christ. Incredibly, 70% of American adults–the same percentage who claim to believe what He wrote in the Bible–profess that homosexuality […]

According to the sexual deviance lobby and their supporters, God is in full agreement with them concerning the rightness of their lifestyle. For example, certain young people in the United Methodist Church recently refused to go along with the organization’s rejection of homosexuality. These supposed God-fearing, Bible-believing spiritual zealots claim that the church is going […]

The word “president” carries a great deal of weight both nationally and internationally. In societies in which the people choose their leaders, voting allows them to present to the world the best they have to offer–a condensed version of what they believe the nation to be, or in some cases, what they want the nation […]
