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.

There’s something wrong with that. I know, I know. There are sermons to prepare, office hours to…

Blessing Abraham
In the Sunday sermon at Alex Southern Baptist Chapel, I made brief mention about how Jeremiah’s prophecy applied to us even though Israel was the original audience. I pointed out that in Isaiah 19, God foretold that He will consider both Egypt and Assyria as His blessed people as equals to the nation of Israel.…
