Revelation 4: The Realization of Who God Is

Sun, 28 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

John was caught up through an open door into the throne room of heaven. The scene he describes is not past or future — it is happening now. And it draws us to the same realization the elders had: God alone is worthy.

A Job of the Church Is to Warn This Generation

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Is warning people unloving? Many in the church now think so. But Scripture shows that warning a perishing world is not the opposite of love — it is one of love’s truest expressions.

You Must Be Born Again to Enter Heaven — Now Is the Time

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Religion, rituals, and church attendance cannot save. Jesus told Nicodemus you must be born again — a spiritual birth that is the difference between eternal heaven and eternal hell.

Are Christians Sinners?

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

“Christians are sinners” has become a popular cliché — but does it line up with the Word? A look at 1 John 3 and the difference between struggling with sin and practicing it as a lifestyle.

Does Saying "Christ Is King" Make Someone a Christian?

Sat, 20 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Bold slogans and Christian language aren’t proof of saving faith. A biblical look at why fruit, repentance, and submission to Christ — not rhetoric — reveal who truly belongs to Him.

The Deceitfulness of Riches

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Jesus called riches deceitful for a reason. Money has the appearance of value but cannot give eternal life. True riches — the abundant, overflowing life that never runs dry — are found only in being rich toward God.

Are You Saved?

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The single most important question you will ever answer in this life is not about money, marriage, or plans — it is this: are you saved? Scripture allows only two positions, and everyone is in one of them.

Walking in Goodness, Righteousness, and Truth

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Once we were darkness; now we are light in the Lord. The fruit of that light is goodness, righteousness, and truth — attributes that come not from ourselves but from the Spirit of God working through us.

Becoming Little Children in the Kingdom of God

Tue, 16 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Jesus said unless we are converted and become as little children, we will not enter the kingdom. Childlikeness means rest, trust, and humility — leaning on a great and mighty God rather than our own strength.

Misconception #7: God's Grace Never Runs Out on the Unbeliever

Tue, 16 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

We rightly celebrate the grace that saves — but there is a sobering truth alongside it. The grace at work in an unbeliever’s heart can be resisted, and it can run out. Do not sin away your grace.

Misconception #6: The Church Should Not Have a Voice in "Politics"

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The enemy has used the word ‘politics’ to silence the church on the very issues that matter most. But politics is simply the public realm of ideas — and the church is called to be the pillar and ground of the truth there too.

Self or God: Which One Shines Forth?

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Scripture sets two places side by side: Tyre, perfecting its own beauty, and Zion, where God shines forth. Only one can reign in us. Either the fallen nature shines from our life, or God does.

Misconception #5: Grace Is Carte Blanche to Sin

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Many treat God’s grace as total freedom to live however they please. But Scripture itself confronts this ‘false grace.’ Real grace teaches us to say no to ungodliness — it never licenses the sin it came to break.

No Great People — God Alone Is Great

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The world is full of people proclaiming their own greatness. But Scripture says men of high degree are a lie. There is no great person apart from God — He alone is truly great, and pride blinds us to it.

Living in the Now vs. Living in the Know

Sat, 13 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Are you living in the ’now’ — guided by what you see and feel — or in the ‘know,’ an intimate understanding of God given by His Spirit? One is passing away; the other lays hold of eternal realities.

Misconception #4: Love Is a Feeling

Sat, 13 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The world says love is a feeling — tolerance of everything, whatever makes us feel good. Scripture says love is a moral quality of God’s own character, always grounded in truth and never rejoicing in sin.

Eternal Judgment Happening Now

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

God’s eternal judgment is not only a future event — Scripture says His wrath is being revealed now. Understanding this sobering truth equips the church to be God’s prophetic voice, and to point people to the open door of grace.

Misconception #3: Repentance Toward God Is Not Necessary for Salvation

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Many in the church think the first step in evangelism is sharing Jesus. But Paul’s pattern began earlier — with repentance toward God. Before a person can receive the Savior, they must first acknowledge God as God.

Misconception #2: The Condition of the World Today Is God's Will

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Closely related to the first misconception, but aimed at God’s deep work in human hearts. The broken state of the world is not evidence that God has failed any soul — He has been faithful to every person He ever made.

Misconception #1: Everything That Happens Is God's Will

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The first in a series on common misconceptions of the faith. Is everything that happens really God’s will? Scripture distinguishes God’s sovereignty from God’s approval — and protects us from blaming Him for evil.

Is the Bishop's Position Biblical? Examining the Sermon at Donald Trump's Inauguration

Wed, 22 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Testing a widely-shared inauguration sermon against Scripture — and why a message that sounds compassionate can still be a half-truth that leads people astray.

Christian Voting 2024: Go Protect the Innocent

Mon, 28 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Everything is spiritual — including how we vote. A call to see the election through a spiritual lens, to refuse passivity in the face of evil, and to go and protect the innocent.
