  • 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…

  • Seeing the Kingdom of Heaven

    Seeing the Kingdom of Heaven

    Have you ever seen God? Some of you will answer by telling me how you see God working or how you see God in nature or people. Those things are not God Himself. I will venture to guess that you have never seen God. Yet, we believe He is. A vast majority of people on…

  • The Master’s Departure

    The Master’s Departure

    Jesus told two parables in order to teach what the kingdom will be like when He leaves His disciples. It will be like ten virgins eagerly awaiting their bridegroom. It will be like servants with whom a master leaves his fortune until he returns to collect his return. When the master returns, He will judge…

  • The Abomination of Desolation

    The Abomination of Desolation

    Jesus’s disciples have asked when the end of the Temple will come, when will not one stone be left upon another? When will Christ judge Jerusalem? Jesus has already made it clear that the judgment upon Jerusalem will happen within their lifetimes (Matthew 23:36). He will repeat His timeframe in Matthew 24:34. He is revealing…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 9:1-17

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 9:1-17

    Like the plague of flies, the plagues of cattle death and boils only bother the Egyptians, not the Hebrews. God is clear about His objective—to show the Egyptians His power and to proclaim His own name through all the earth. God’s actions are not merely performed to free people from slavery—which we are often guilty…

  • The Four Horsemen: the Ashen Horse

    The Four Horsemen: the Ashen Horse

    The Father is holy. Jesus Christ is worthy. The world is the way it is because God is winning glory for Himself. Jesus continues breaking the seals on the legal document He has received from the Father. As He breaks the fourth seal, the fourth angelic witness presents his testimony to the just judge for…

  • What if We Really Believed the Storm Obeys Jesus?

    What if We Really Believed the Storm Obeys Jesus?

    Do you desire to see God work? I don’t know of any person who would answer this question with a “No.” Even the most sincere atheist would claim that if he or she could see God at work he would no longer be an atheist. Of course we desire to see God work! In the…

  • Why Do People Have To Die?

    Why Do People Have To Die?

    Submit your questions using the contact form, on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. Death is the most excruciating ailment and the unbreakable enemy of every person. That is the way that we perceive it. We witness death in the world. A family member is with us one moment and it seems like in the next breath…

  • If Adam Had Perfect Reason, How Could He Choose Against God?

    My thoughts, as of late, revolve around this question. We, as a western culture, place so much value on human reason and in the rational facilities of the educated. In Genesis 3, we read a story of a man who knew God and learned all things from God. Before the Fall and the curse of…

  • Brothers, religion does not define us! (Romans 8:1-11)

                One walk down the street or down the school hallway or into a break room at work will reveal a vast diversity of worldviews and belief systems. There are Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Jews, Christians and Atheists. There are philosophers, scientists, artists and composers. There are children, teenagers, young adults,…
