  • No One Seeks God—the reality of being a finite creature and the shortfall of human religion

    No One Seeks God—the reality of being a finite creature and the shortfall of human religion

    This piece comes from a reading of John 1:9-13. Whether Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, Atheist or something else, there is something we all treasure immensely—life. People work to preserve their lives and give their lives meaning. Much of our human religion is the result of us simply trying to live fulfilling lives on this earth.…

  • Your Religion Can’t Get You to Heaven

    Your Religion Can’t Get You to Heaven

    What if I told you that your religion, even if you are sincere, can never get you to Heaven? All human religion seems to be very much the same. If you can, imagine looking at your religion from the outside. There are people claiming to know the way to heaven and give strict rules to…

  • My Church is Better Than Yours

    My Church is Better Than Yours

    On Sunday at ASBC, I started John 3. I’ve been preaching through John’s gospel since October, and I’m still only to Chapter 3. That’s funny, but working through it slowly really does produce more fruit. Here at the beginning, John has made human depravity very clear to his audience. Jesus would not entrust Himself to…

  • Armageddon: The Iranian Conflict and End Times

    Armageddon: The Iranian Conflict and End Times

    Well. I finally saw the word used in association with events currently at play in the Middle East. In her post, Coston claimed that, in the last battle, the nations wouldn’t necessarily fight against Israel but against Christ. I have to say, I have never actually seen such a narrative in the text of Scripture.…

  • Life, Our Most Treasured Possession

    Life, Our Most Treasured Possession

    Reflecting on John 1:3-5 John doesn’t claim any certain method. He doesn’t give us a timeline of origins. He simply claims that all things came into being through Him, the Word, and apart from Him nothing that exists came into being. Consider, again, the Genesis 1 account. In the beginning God created the heavens and…

  • Take Care With Biblical Prophecy

    Take Care With Biblical Prophecy

    As I work through the Old Testament witness about Jesus’s First Coming for our the 25 Days of Christmas at Alex Southern Baptist Chapel, I’m noticing the same tendency to do too much with the biblical witness. I understand how tempting it is. We want everything to be a direct foretelling about Jesus so we…

  • The Veracity of the Prophetic Witness

    The Veracity of the Prophetic Witness

    I’m always amazed at the accuracy of prophecy as recorded in the Bible. I’m currently looking at the prophetic witness leading up to Christmas for our church, a different part of the messianic prediction every day. Be sure to look for the 25 days of Christmas from Alex, that’s A-L-E-X, Southern Baptist Chapel. From 1,500…

  • Faith: The Basis of All Human Belief

    Faith: The Basis of All Human Belief

    There are many people who claim to believe something because of some degree of empirical evidence. People who believe the earth is old claim to believe it is old based on some manner of carbon dating. They claim to base their theories of evolution on similarities in genetic sequences or fossils. In the same manner,…
