  • Pride, Worship and Morality

    Pride, Worship and Morality

    As we continue through Revelation together, we ding ourselves in the part of the story where Christ is breaking the seals, preparing to declare judgment upon the world. He is the only one who is worthy because He is the only one who suffered the death penalty on our behalf. The seven trumpets are described…

  • When Will God Set Things Right?

    When Will God Set Things Right?

    After John addressed the seven churches in Asia specifically, he describes a great scene around God’s throne. He describes the glorious worship of God by all of creation. In the context of this worship, a book is presented before the assembly and no one is found worthy to open its seals. In a courtroom setting…

  • Gaining Works, Losing Christ

    Gaining Works, Losing Christ

    When I was little, I remember starting to build a club house on our property with my dad. This club house was going to be the best club house anyone had ever seen because my dad built houses for a living and he was the best at what he did. We had some extra 2×4’s…

  • The Book of Revelation

    The Book of Revelation

    This week, we get to begin the book of Revelation. Before we get into the book of Revelation I need to make a couple of preliminary statements that will carry us through the next two months. First, the purpose of Johns letter (the book of Revelation) was to implore believers to stay faithful to God…

  • Coexist

                Coexist is a philosophy that places all worldviews on equal ground. It does not take a stand on what truth is, but declares that social cohesion is the key to reducing prejudice and ending violence across people groups around the world.[1] While I will not comment strictly on the coexist organization, I do wish…

  • Who is the enemy?

               As we continue to think about the suffering of people on the earth and about the fact that, for so many people, God seems so invisible, there needs to be a very important realization. There is a great enemy who makes war against humanity and particularly against the people of God. Why is there…

  • Why does God not show His face?

                “I would believe in your God, if only He would show His face.” I remember speaking to an atheist friend of mine who, to put it lightly, is obviously and outspokenly skeptical that any deity exists at all. As far as he is concerned, there is no evidence that speaks in God’s favor and…

  • The Christian’s Tribulation (and the suffering of the world)

    There was a criminal who was exiled from the land of a good king. He lived in great turmoil, but the king allowed him to live hoping that he would one day be reconciled. The criminal changed his ways and gave himself as a servant to the king. He promised the king all he had…

  • The lukewarm Christian may not be what you think…

    Throughout the day, I drink quite a bit of coffee. It is because of me that we had to move away from k-cups in the office. We bought those little single-cup filters that fit into a Keurig. Sometimes my coffee sits in one place too long and I am not pleased when I take a…
