On July 1, I posted my thoughts about the state of things as we were about to go into this year’s Fourth of July weekend. Now, a week after the Fourth, I thought I would take time reflect back on our Independence Day. In a sense, there really isn’t much to reflect back on. Afterall, […]

It’s something we’ve all done at least once––get into credit card trouble. We rack up our limit either on odds or ends, perhaps necessities, and then we wonder how in the world we’re going to pay it off. The time comes, and we finally do pay it off––perhaps we’re able to pay it off with […]

Of course no one would have expected our Fourth of July to have been so disrupted this year. Not in my wildest dreams would I, six months ago––heck two months ago when we were still in lockdown––expect our Fourth of July celebrations to be cancelled. And our nation to be in such turmoil.

The second post […]

On yesterday’s post, I had talked about recent apostasy (turning away from the faith) among two well-known public figures–one a former megachurch pastor; and the other a singer/songwriter and worship leader. Today, I’d like to talk about two particular heresies going around that are quite prevalent. One is Progressive Christianity (PC), and the other is […]

It seems that within a short amount of time–say, within the past six months–I have been seeing quite a lot of heresy floating around. And some of it is from some quite well-known and (formerly) well-respected people. That’s not to say that the heresy has been new among them, but that I’ve just been learning […]

It is interesting to see how God, in the Old Testament, at times seems remorseful that He did something. In Genesis, God was remorseful that He made man (Gen. 6:5-7). In 1 Samuel 15, God said to Samuel that He regretted having made Saul king. It is in the following chapter that God reveals He […]

In Ephesians 6, Paul says to pray in the Spirit. What does that mean? In a Pentecostal environment, many would say that this means speaking in tongues. But if you are not in a Pentecostal environment, then praying in the Spirit probably means something entirely different. The point is this, it doesn’t matter whether you pray […]
