The Sovereignty of God, Trump, and the IRGC
The way we as Christians think through the wars of this world is interesting to me. There are a great many things to be said about the moral justification (or not) of actions taken by world leaders against other world leaders and nations. There are many things to be said about how some people conduct…

Lying and Biblical Subterfuge
Worldly society is awfully good a making men into little girls. Strong men who are faithful to their wives, discipline their children, defend their kinsmen, and speak against true injustice threaten the wiles of the devil and power of the worldly system. Part of the enemy’s tactic to strip biblical and sacrificial manhood from our…

Is Anything too Difficult for God?

Yet, God assures them about…

The Call to Holy Living
God has made a one-sided covenant with Abram. It depends only on Him. We even saw Him remain faithful to Abram’s descendants even when Abram and Sarai were impatient and schemed to produce an heir without God. God will accomplish His plan and even carries His promise over to Hagar’s descendants even though He is…

God is Unsearchable, but Reveals Himself
Directly prior to the great flood, God withdrew His spirit such that the Spirit did not strive with humanity (Genesis 6:3). He left humanity to its own devices to rule the earth, and the earth was plunged into wickedness and violence. God baptized the earth because it had become corrupt. People will only bring injustice…
