From Genesis To Revelation

The Bible, the inspired, inerrant, and infallible word of God, is not a book about principles to live by. The Bible is a love story about a person to live for; Jesus, the red thread throughout the love story. I read God’s word not because I need to in order to stay in His favor, […]

On Being Identified With Christ

This week’s posts begin a series on Being Identified With Christ and on His charge to go unto all the world. This command to influence and occupy is inseparable from Truth, so expect a little of that as well. Let’s begin here: “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the […]

Things Are Heating Up

In this final week before Passover, Jesus went to the temple every day to teach and heal. He knew that the time available for His earthly mission was running short. And His human patience was also running short. We witness an example of righteous anger. On Monday “Jesus went straight to the Temple and threw […]

Anointed

Saturday. Jerusalem. Circa 33 AD. Passover was near and the Jewish people were on their annual pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Jesus, too, neared the city. But His Jerusalem was to be unlike any other.

Questions God Won’t Ask

God won’t ask “Were you a Calvinist? Arminian? Pentecostal? Catholic? Orthodox? Evangelical? He’ll ask “What did you do with Jesus?”

Jesus Speaks

The Great Creation“In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth.” Genesis 1:1 The Rational Bible The Great CommandmentOne of them, an expert in religious law, tried to trap him with this question: “Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?” Jesus replied, “‘Love the Lord your God with all […]

Genesis To Revelation

The Bible is much more than a book about principles to live by. It is a love story about a person to live for; Jesus the Christ, the red thread throughout God’s providential love story.

Jesus, And His Church, At The Center Of It All

All this energy issues from Christ: God raised him from death and set him on a throne in deep Heaven, in charge of running the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from his rule. And not just for the time being, but forever. He is in charge of it […]
