In Revelation 3:14-22 Jesus (see 1:1) is addressing the apostate church at Laodicea, saying, “… I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, I WILL VOMIT YOU OUT OF MY MOUTH.” Let us stop here and examine this […]

How many times have I, and possibly some of you older people, heard a religious person lament that he/she misses “… that old time religion like we had back then.” Some will add that we need to hear some of that old time “… hell fire and brimstone preaching” again. Consensus among these people is […]

Revave, a newly-organized Jewish group, has joined other groups to work toward returning the Temple Mount to its former glory by restoring Jewish sovereignty over the area. Each month the group attempts to take up to 10,000 Jewish visitors to the Temple Mount to pray. Each time they are met by Muslims protesting their presence. […]

According to church tradition, the nation of Israel having been (re)born in 1948, the next event to take place as proof that the Messiah would soon return to earth would be the (re)building of the Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Since, and even before, 1948 Jewish people from all over the world […]

One of the foundational beliefs of professing Christendom is that Jesus will return to God’s Temple located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The problem lies in the fact that a Muslim temple occupies the space God’s Temple is supposed to be located at the time of His advent. Adding to the problem is the […]

When Adam and Eve sinned they broke the face-to-face pattern of communication established by God. This process was destined to hold true except in extremely rare exceptions as noted in the Old Testament. Leading up to the establishment of the New Covenant Church in 31 A.D., Jesus came to earth and communicated with man as […]

Phobia: Aversion to or fear of any specified object or situation. Webster’s Concise Dictionary, Encyclopedic Edition. The word “unreasonable” is also used in reference to the condition described above. I use the word “Biblephobia” to describe those who own, carry, read, quote from, witness about, etc. God’s Word but who are adamantly averse to and […]

Due to having established hundreds of “churches,” each with its own concept of right and wrong, Satan has any number of ways by which he can bring conviction on his proselytes. I once heard of a church that condemned the drinking of hot chocolate. Catholics feel guilty for missing mass. Some churches believe that baptism […]

How many of us have been told by well-meaning people that we are to “Let your conscience be your guide.” This works fine IF our conscience is founded on God’s Word. There is a false belief that for those in “the church,” their conscience is automatically geared to His Truth. This makes for a good […]

The “things of man” are found in abundance in two distinct locations: the unchurched world and the churched world, both of which dine at the same trough on spiritual food supplied by Satan. God warned the church early on about Satan injecting his food (doctrines) into her theology: “Now the Spirit says expressly that in […]
