  • The Veracity of the Prophetic Witness

    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

    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…

  • Text Driven Tuesday: Dismount the High Horses, John 1:14-18

    Text Driven Tuesday: Dismount the High Horses, John 1:14-18

    John has introduced the Word, who was with God and was God in the beginning. I believe this is the word through whom God spoke creation into being. I believe it is the Voice of God that was walking in the Garden in Genesis 3. I believe it is the Word the prophets heard when…

  • Text Driven Tuesday: Ephesians 2

    Text Driven Tuesday: Ephesians 2

    In Ephesians 2, after glorifying Christ as the one far above all rule and authority and power and dominion–noting that Jesus has all these in the present tense, Paul shares the Gospel. If we read Ephesians 1 before we read Ephesians 2, which seems to make perfect sense as a way to read, we see…

  • Follow the Money; John 2:13-22

    Follow the Money; John 2:13-22

    Jesus was not opposed to violence. He was opposed to injustice. It is unjust for any church or clergyman to interest themselves in making money because they will end up using people instead of ministering to them. Like the pyramids were built on the backs of slaves, so Saint Peter’s Basilica was built on the…

  • Jesus, The Supplier of our Faith; Devo, John 2:1-12

    Jesus, The Supplier of our Faith; Devo, John 2:1-12

    The turning of water to wine at Cana is a popular story. Many people take many details from the text to expound on them, but I think it is important to keep ourselves from saying what the text does not say. After all, we want to speak God’s explicit words and not our own. There…
