  • Armageddon: The Iranian Conflict and End Times

    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.…

  • Preparing the Way

    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

    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

    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…

    Season 2; Beginning February 5, 2026

    I took a huge step back from content development so I could settle into a new pastorate at Alex Southern Baptist Chapel. Thinking about my content ministry for the next year, 2026, I checked the numbers. To my surprise, listener and reader engagement has increased, not decreased, as I’ve taken it easy. I’m not sure…

    Church is About True Family, Not Performances

    Hebrews 10 24 and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. Stimulate one another The author of Hebrews gives us a…

    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…

    Church is Worship, Not Ritual

    Hebrews 10 14 For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.15 And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying,16 “THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THEMAFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD:I WILL PUT MY LAWS UPON THEIR HEART,AND ON THEIR MIND I WILL…

  • Text Driven Tuesday: Ephesians 1

    Text Driven Tuesday: Ephesians 1

    The Apostle, Paul, wrote Ephesians from prison in AD 60-62 to the saints. While the letter certainly made it to Ephesus, it may have simply been written “to the saints,” because “at Ephesus” is missing from three important early manuscripts. The tone of Ephesians is more generic than Paul’s other letters. The letter is about…
