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…

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.…

Another Holy War
I hate war. I don’t know all the facts, and I have a feeling much of the information is being withheld for security reasons. Of course, we have all the social media experts providing their less than two-cents worth. Government officials are providing contradictory information, and we are all seeing one version of the war…

Preparing the Way
John 1:6-8 There was a man sent from God. This man was not Jesus. John, the gospel writer, suddenly stops talking about Jesus in order to introduce another character in his narrative—John. He is not introducing himself. This is a different John, John the baptizer. John the baptizer is a man sent from God. He…

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…

Let Me Introduce You to This Jesus
John 1:1-2 Have you ever wondered what came first? I mean, something had to come first, right? Many stories have been told about the origins of all that exists in what we perceive as a very material, raw, and observable universe. Perhaps it was a chance universe with chance physical laws amid many other chance…

The Veracity of the Prophetic Witness
I’m always amazed at the accuracy of prophecy as recorded in the Bible. I’m currently looking at the prophetic witness leading up to Christmas for our church, a different part of the messianic prediction every day. Be sure to look for the 25 days of Christmas from Alex, that’s A-L-E-X, Southern Baptist Chapel. From 1,500…

The Fall of The Busy Bee
I had someone invite me to something recently. “I understand if you can’t come,” he said, “pastors are really busy.” What a sad commentary on the expectation that pastors don’t have time for people because of their schedules. There’s something wrong with that. I know, I know. There are sermons to prepare, office hours to…

Church is Freeing, Not Burdensome
Hebrews 10 19 Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw…
