Last week, I was finishing a message on Matthew 19 regarding marriage, divorce, and remarriage. It’s a subject I dislike preaching on because the biblical data on divorce and remarriage seems unclear to me, and many Bible scholars disagree on the topic. To illustrate my point, I wanted to reference an article in the Fundamentalist…

Christians are converting to paganism in the UK in record numbers. This is according to a Times article.  They are not going to Islam, Buddhism, or Judaism, but rather to atheism, agnosticism, and Wicca. It’s not true and let me explain why. When I was in high school, I kept bees as a hobby. One…

Our culture has a despotic ruler that is unwilling to submit to any of the firm laws of faith or reason. He has been allowed free run by virtually everyone, and not only has not been tamed, but has been deemed untamable by almost everyone. We have submitted to his whims without critique or question,…

The question of whether Christians should celebrate Christmas has been debated for centuries. Some believers embrace the holiday as a time to honor the birth of Christ, while others reject it due to its historical associations with paganism and Roman Catholic traditions.

And yes, there continue to remain HUGE problems with Roman Catholic theology. Just recently I heard of a conservative Baptist pastor leaving his church and turning to Catholicism. This type of move is not isolated. Many in the conservative political world are doing so with the rise of prominent cultural figures like Candace Owens, Michael…

At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, 3 and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter…

There is a lot of talk about revival lately. Even secular media types referred to the events surrounding Charlie Kirk’s memorial service as a “Christian revival.”  However, the discussion is not new, it is just amplified in the wake of Kirk’s assassination.  Young people are returning to religion in record numbers. Videos of mass baptisms…

Peter Thiel and New York Times editor, Ross Douthat, differ about the nature of the Antichrist. Yep. It’s true. People in the business and media mainstream are now talking about the Antichrist—and they are talking about it seriously, not just in some derogatory manner. Peter Thiel is giving lectures about the rise of the Anti-Christ…

If it did, is Donald Trump the Anti-Christ? At first, this title just looks like click bait, but it’s a question that has flashed across the minds of many dispensationalist Christians in the last week. There are a few things we believe about biblical prophecy that do give us pause. The Daniel 9 Prophecy. According…

I sat across the table from a young man with whom I have been having Bible studies for about two months— I will call him Dave. He was not a believer but clearly interested in the gospel message. I did not need to cajole him to meet with me. We had been working through The…
