I couldn’t think of a clever title for this article, and maybe it’s because I don’t really care. I don’t even care about devising an interesting hook to bring the reader in. I’m going to be blunt here in this article about guns, in regard to the recent tragedy that happened literally seventy miles west […]
Movies these days are generally pretty bad, or at best, forgettable. Even the great blockbuster achievement of the MCU, for me, is a one-time see. It was an epic ten years of watching the characters and their journey’s bring them to the end. Yet in the end, I watched Endgame once in the theater, and […]
I just got home from my mission. It was a great experience, one I wouldn’t trade for anything. God has been so gracious to me in giving me the opportunity to go on this mission to share the gospel; I shared the message of the forgiveness of sins, and of salvation leading to eternal life […]
What is Christmas all about? We often say “It’s about Jesus” and “it’s about family, joy, and happiness” and “It’s celebrating Immanuel (God with us)”. This is all very true, but one thing I always try to make us privy to is the danger of traditions becoming nothing but empty traditions. Here is a test […]
Here I am going to do a brief, partial exegesis of John 1:1 in this article. Afterwards, my intention is to go farther past John 1:1 to exegete the rest of the prologue of John to get the clearest idea of what John is communicating to us. Originally, I set out here to do all […]
I’ll likely be poking a bear of some kind with this series of blogs. For that reason, I want to make sure in the open here that what I do is set the tone for this. This is not meant to cause division among the body, it is not meant to slander, nor to attack […]
Who is Israel? As if chapter 8 wasn’t controversial enough, we’re about to get even more controversial. Now we may not only be stepping on the toes of non-reformed people, but we may be stepping on the toes of premillennial believers. I hope you understand that neither of these are my intention; my desire is […]
If you read this blog site enough, it should come as no surprise that history is a subject that I am greatly fond of, and the older I get, the more I appreciate how important it is; not simply to know things happened, but to have the maturity of mind to know how to keep […]
Chapter 7: Under Grace, not Law Don’t misunderstand the subtitle here, as it is not saying that we have a cheap-grace scenario. I intend those words as they were originally intended. How were they intended? Let’s answer that by looking at the analogy Paul gives at the beginning of chapter seven, which again, flows directly […]
Death in Adam, Life in Christ Paul begins chapter six with a rhetorical question, and you need to pay attention to these, because they are key to understanding Paul’s train of thought; he’s anticipating objections to his argument. If you’re asking questions that Paul isn’t asking, you’re not tracking with him. If you aren’t even […]
