We are living in an age that is not merely confused about truth—it is openly hostile to it. Another incident involving federal law enforcement (ICE) recently occurred, where a protester showed up armed, attempted to draw that handgun while resisting arrest, and was shot. Of course, before facts could be carefully examined, the internet erupted … Continue reading Loving Darkness, Hating Light: Truth in an Age of Outrage
“What is a pastor?” That question deserves far more thought than it is often given. For some—depending on church structure—a pastor is viewed primarily as an appointed leader, something akin to a CEO of a local religious organization, installed by a denomination or governing body to manage the operation of the church. For others, especially … Continue reading What Is A Pastor?
We live in a time when the word injustice gets thrown around constantly. Scroll social media for five minutes, and you’ll find someone chanting, “No justice, no peace!” or insisting that their inconvenience, mistreatment, or disagreement proves the world is unfair. And to be sure, true injustice does exist. People suffer. Systems fail. Hearts break. … Continue reading THE INJUSTICE OF THE CROSS: What Most Never Consider

Loss of salvation or scribes guilty of the offense addressed? In my morning musings and reading, I came upon Revelation 22, and verse 19 in particular. Every time I read this passage, I think back to many arguments over theology, with the key doctrine of “Eternal Security of the Believer”. Over the years, I have … Continue reading The Irony of Revelation 22:19
We’ve all known someone like this: the person who seems to take special joy in pointing out everyone else’s flaws. Maybe you remember them from the schoolyard—the one who mocked the overweight kid, the short kid, the one wearing discount-store sneakers, or the one whose parents drove a rusty old beater because that’s all they … Continue reading Fault-Finders and the Fracturing of Grace
This is a post I never intended to write. However, it grieves me to see this issue being used to divide our nation—and, more importantly, to create division among sincere, Christ-following believers. While I struggle to be brief and concise (as I dislike leaving too many loose ends), I will attempt to keep this as … Continue reading Judaism, Zionism, Israel, & “Antisemitism”
With the rapid growth and dramatic advancements in AI technology—now embedded in social media platforms (X has Grok, Facebook/Meta has Llama, etc.), word processing apps (Apple Pages has Apple Intelligence, Microsoft's Mule, and so on), and a flood of AI-driven image manipulation, editing, and raw generation—we must take a serious and critical look at what … Continue reading Some Thoughts on AI and Its Implications in Culture and Ministry
A few months ago, I received an email advertising a new film "by the producers of The Case For Christ and God's Not Dead movies. This didn't immediately inspire me to watch the movie, but when I received a follow-up with an invitation to pre-screen the movie, I decided to give it a go. I … Continue reading The Last Supper 2025: Another Victim of Creative Liberty
“But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.” (1 Corinthians 6:6 KJV) "On the contrary, brother is tried with brother, and that before unbelievers!" (LSB) This verse is often misunderstood (or twisted) by churches and Christians. Paul's complaint is that believers in Corinth were essentially filing what we would think of … Continue reading The Courts and The Church
