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.…

Church is About the Gospel, Not Our Agendas
Hebrews 10 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; Holding fast Jesus paid the only offering necessary for our salvation and citizenship in His kingdom.

Is a gay Christian a contradiction? Yes, but not for the reason you might think. I recently saw someone post this graphic on social media and want to examine the claim it makes. I am a Christian. I am very conservative. I believe living in homosexuality is sinful. Let me be very clear, I do…

Daily Devotional: Romans 15:8-21
Jesus was not a Christian. Before His incarnation, He had no religion because He is one with the Father and need not follow anyone. In His incarnation, He became a servant to the circumcision—He became a Jew in order to preach the truth and confirm the promises given by God to the fathers (Abraham, Isaac,…

The Curse on Canaan and the Gospel

He promised Himself that He would never again destroy the earth or every living thing by any means and never again curse the ground (8:21-22). He promised creation that He would never again flood the earth (9:11). Prior to the great flood,…

Christian Contentment
Paul has instructed those married to unbelievers to remain with them. He revealed that God hates all divorce and instructed people to, instead of seek their own freedom, to love their spouses. In such a revelation, we discover that love is not about me seeking what is right for me but, instead, long-suffering with others…

A Kingdom of Power, Not Words
Paul has been instructing the congregation about how it should view him and its pastors and how the pastors (elders) of the local church should view the congregation. The pericope in view, here, is transitional. Paul is transitioning from the place of the pastor to the immorality of the local church. Before he begins addressing…

Cursed Trees and Cast Mountains
On Sunday, Jesus went into Jerusalem and cleansed the temple—tossing the tables of those who sold sacrifices and changed money, making the temple a market rather than a house of prayer for all nations. He spent the night in Bethany and now, Monday, travels back to Jerusalem. Matthew 21:18-22 Now in the morning, when He…
