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.…

The Scourge of Calvinism Pt. 2- Total Depravity vs Free Will
I am looking at the differences between Calvinism and Arminianism because I have been asked to.

The Scourge of Calvinism: Pt. 1 The Unnecessary Conflict

Are Christians able to offer accusations against kings, rulers, pastors, or one another? What ever would be a circumstance…

Christ’s Fruitless and Fruitful Word
Why do people reject such a gracious Gospel? Why do people claim to be Christians but add works to grace as the basis for salvation? Why do self-proclaimed Christians hear God’s word and explain it away saying, “The Bible doesn’t really mean that”? In the previous passage, Jesus told a parable and left the parable…

What is the Unforgivable Sin?
I pastored a church, once, in a community where a homosexual man worked for a funeral home. One of the ladies in our church, the one who claimed the church was the most loving church anyone could ever find, hated this man because he was a practicing homosexual. “Don’t ever let that man do anything…
