  • Daily Devotional: Genesis 33:1-17

    Daily Devotional: Genesis 33:1-17

    Jacob expects enmity and hostility from Esau. After all, he stole Esau’s birthright and inheritance. Yet, Esau greets Jacob as a brother with no hostility toward him whatsoever. We often expect trouble as we go, so we, like Jacob, fret and prepare. We spend our rime worrying about the future, and the problems we perceive…

  • On Gaining the World and Losing Yourself

    On Gaining the World and Losing Yourself

    The Easter season is upon us, the liturgical part of the year when we reflect upon our own depravity and inability to be righteous or holy. In this season, leading up through good Friday and Black Saturday, we long for a savior to come free us from our sin, clothe us in His righteousness, and…

  • Desire Prophecy, Don’t Forbid Speaking in Tongues

    Desire Prophecy, Don’t Forbid Speaking in Tongues

    Paul is writing to the local church at Corinth in order to admonish the congregation toward unity in the faith—unity through maturity. He is currently addressing the practice of spiritual gifts—particularly those of prophecy and speaking in tongues. He has admonished the local church to prioritize love, which edifies. He has also instructed the congregation…

    Daily Devotional: Genesis 31:1-21

    Here, we learn that God has been providing for Jacob during his entire ordeal with Laban and has exercised justice against Laban by taking the wealth he amassed during the 14 years Jacob labored for him. Yet, despite all of Jacob’s sin, he is chosen and blessed by God. I see two very important notes,…

  • Cheers! A Response to P31 Momma and The Church at Sunsites

    Cheers! A Response to P31 Momma and The Church at Sunsites

    Normally, I would respond to someone privately, even if their comments were as public as yours. Scripture teaches us to, if we see sin in a brother or sister that needs to be addressed, go to them in private to share our concerns. Instead, you posted some very public and hateful comments on the YouTube…

    Daily Devotional: Genesis 27:46-28:7

    Jacob was sent away for two reasons: (1) His brother’s violent hatred (27:42) and (2) in order to find a wife from among his own kinsmen. In the narrative, the Canaanites typify the children of the serpent (cf. Genesis 3:14-15), which is why such division and enmity prevailed between the Hebrews and Canaanites. The Canaanites…

  • How Church Should Feel

    How Church Should Feel

    In the local church at Corinth, there was much gossip (probably secret or ambush meetings), divisions, inflated disagreements about politics, and people who were living in sin and causing division were being elevated over those who tried to honor Christ with their lives. All too often, local church environments today are as terrible or worse–even…

  • The Loss of Basic Church

    The Loss of Basic Church

    One burden on my heart is the loss of “basic church” in the western world. Doing church has become about many things, programs, and attractions. It has become a manifestation of the sensationalism that plagued America in the previous generation and this one. In all of our malcontent, the Bible speaks consistently about what God…

    Ministry Update September 2021

    Friends and Family, Sorry for the radio silence. The last couple months have been very busy. Less has come out on this blog, and the daily devotional blog has slowed down (in fact, I will be grafting the devotional blog into this one and eventually closing down the devotional blog. Much has happened in my…

  • Preacher Bashing According to Jesus

    Preacher Bashing According to Jesus

    Jesus has dialogued with the Pharisees, scribes, Herodians, and Sadducees—proving His dedication to the Scriptures and showing that He is a qualified Rabbi. In this section, Jesus speaks seven woes against the Pharisees and scribes, seven reasons they are Hell-bound and take others to Hell with them (cf. Matthew 23:13, 15). This is Jesus’s last…
