You're Entitled to Our Opinion

Ever get messed up in your "thinker, feeler, chooser?"

We all do. But the Word says "there's a better way!"

People think we're made up of body, soul, and spirit when Paul, one of the most brilliant people ever to walk the earth told us we are spirit, soul, and body.

Our "earth suit," as Jay eloquently puts it, isn't the primary part of our being. In fact, it's the only part of us that is temporary. The spirit and the soul are eternal,...

Unity.

When Jesus was praying in the Garden just hours before He was crucified, He prayed for His disciples - and for those who would believe because of their testimony - that we would be one.

It hasn't worked out that way, has it?

There are approximately 46 distinct demonimations - oops, denominations - in America with thousands of off-shoots within the different demonimations, oops again, denominations.

John 10:10 states specificall...

The Bible. Just a book?

One of the characteristics of Progressive Christianity is they keep the language of Christianity but trade the authority God's Word for the approval of the current culture.

If you struggle with whether you can rely on the Word of God, then it's not the Bible you need more of but first a true revelation of the God of time, space, and matter. He is very adamant that His Word is truth and is inspired, inerrant, i...

There's a huge difference between being alone and being lonely but what is it? Gilbert O'Sullivan's song, "Alone Again (Naturally)" might well be titled "Lonely Again (Naturally) as he sings about the emotional pain he goes through as life deals him more and more loss.

Some people are turning to AI to the detriment of meaningful connections, like the lady who reportedly said, "I spend five hours a day with my new companion...and I l...

If someone would have thought of operating a cart with rocks to sell in Jerusalem around Jesus' time, they would have made a killing! Between apostates like Stephen and prostitutes, they would have had a big business.

But check out the account of the prostitute they brought to Jesus. It didn't end well for the Pharisees.

So many churches are in decline because of the perversion of the gift of discernment, a.k.a. Criticism. Like they...

Nearly a generation has gone by since the horrific events of September 11, 2001.

Even most who have been born since then are aware of what happened as thousands of Americans lost their lives as a result of evil in the world. When the towers fell and the jets fell from the sky, many had a wakeup call.

And it would have been nice if that wakeup call lasted, but something happened just this past week that reveals we have a serious pro...

God's kingdom isn't a competition.

There are many who call themselves "believers" that have quite a skewed perception of the role of men and women when it comes to kingdom ministry. When the Apostle Paul wrote to his son in the faith, Timothy, he made some statements that some denominations have used to subjugate women to subservient positions

So, how do we deal with Paul's "women should learn quietly" and 'I do not permit a woman to...

We all have an "expiration date"

It's not printed on us like a jug of milk, but God has it written in His Book of Life. He knows that date but doesn't let us in on it.

When we think of mortality, it brings up two very important concepts:

1. What happens after we do pass over into eternity?

2. How should we live now in preparation for that day?

Too many people cling to this life with a death grip. What does this life hold that our prom...

The birth rate of South Korea is presently at about 0.73 births per woman.

The birth rate of the U.S. is presently at about 1.6 births per woman.

Population replace rate worldwide, considering birth/death ratios, is 2.1 births per woman. This means that both countries are experiencing negative population growth. The effects of this is catastrophic in many ways, not the least of which there will be a depleting work force to support t...

When King David sinned against God via adultery and murder, he had a friend in Nathan to whom he was accountable.

It took courage for Nathan to approach the king, who could end his life right there, and help him account for his actions and repent. David and Nathan had a relationship of trust too many people lack in their life.

Sin percolates in darkness. Each one of us has areas of weakness that must be confronted and dealt with. Bl...

Can we lose our salvation or are we guaranteed a seat at Heaven's feast if we walk an aisle, repeat a prayer, and get "dunked" but then live any way we like?

If we sin and immediately die, are we bound for hell or is it that it doesn't matter what we do as long as we can tell Saint Peter at the pearly gates that we did more good than bad in our lifetime?

There's opinion and there's the Biblical truth. And the key word in this whole p...

Proclaiming themselves wise, they become fools. Ouch!

When we reject God, eventually He gives us over to our sin. In Romans, chapter 1, Paul tells us three areas where we are given over; lust of the heart to impurity, dishonorable passions, and, finally, a reprobate or depraved mind.

Sound like anything that is happening today?

What does the Word say about the path to the reprobate mind? Is there hope for someone who has been given ov...

Termites. Those little buggers can wreak havoc on the foundation of a house, to the point of collapse, if let alone to do their thing.

Syncretism has, for centuries, but especially of late, undermined the foundation of faith to the point where sometimes it's hard to tell the Church from the world.

So, what is syncretism? It's the blending together of opposite belief systems. It's the amalgamation of different cultures, religions or s...

Hey, just repent. God will forgive you.

Woah, wait a minute!

Is Grace just "sloppy agape?" Can we live like the devil and just tell God, "Sorry, my bad"?

When it comes to understanding what and why of the Law as well as what and why of Grace, we find out that there's one thing too many forget as they make choices in life...consequences.

Take Jephthah's story in the book of Judges, chapter eleven. He vowed a vow to God if only He would ...

Sloppy agape?

- Follow the rules or free "get out of hell" card?

- Is it "Old Testament out, New Testament in?"

- In this day of Grace, is the Law something we even need to concern ourselves with?

It's vital in today's culture, especially in the modern-day church to fully understand how true followers of Jesus Christ relate to both the Law and Grace.

Jesus said that He didn't come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it. What does that m...

Tube steaks, baseball, apple, pie, and the odor of burned sulfur wafting in the air.

Yup, it's July 4th!

As we celebrate the 249th birthday of our great nation, we step back and take a wide view of this country and our involvement in the events happening around the world.

Just a few weeks ago, "bunker breaker bombs," in Operation Midnight Hammer, were dropped on nuclear energy labs in the distant country of Iran. A few short days lat...

Ever play the game, "Telephone?" It's where someone whispers something to another person and then they pass it to another person and on and on until everyone has had the phrase whispered to them. Then the last person tells the group what the message was. The results can be hilarious...and more often than not, quite different from the original.

Well, unfortunately in the Church world, some of God's Word has been passed around and mis...

There's a whole lot more to "everything" than what we can encounter with our five senses. And more than what is just in what we call the physical world.

We know the spiritual world exists because of the evidence presented to us in the Bible. "God is spirit" says a whole lot in three little words.

Understanding the spiritual world is important for us as believers. Besides the triune God, the Bible tells us of angels and demons. Thou...

The dullest pencil is sharper than the sharpest mind, the old saying goes.

That's why we're so glad God gave us The Word, a.k.a. the Bible. Oral traditions can morph over time. God's Word doesn't change. And that's why we have to be people who constantly immerse ourselves in the study the Logos - the written Word.

So, what is the Rhema? There are some people who disregard the Logos and are always seeking a new revelation, which they ...
