A Tale of Two Books

Consider the following hypothetical:

On Day1 of Creation, God created light, separated it from night, called one ‘Day’ and the other ‘Night’. All in a day’s work.

Suppose an angel came along at that time and said “Lord – You know all things. Please – write for me a book of […]

Solomon’s Bride

Glory is deceitful and beauty is vain. But a woman who looks like Solomon’s wife – now you’re talkin’!

Back in Bible College, our OT prof gave out this picture. No clue where he got it from. I’ve long lost my copy, but it turns out that some people have posted the same thing […]

The Fall and The Curse

It’s worth considering the fact that there is a distinction between The Fall (Gen 3:1-13) and The Curse (Gen 3:14-24).

Here’s what I mean:

The Fall (The instant Adam & Eve eat the fruit):

Man is cut off from God Man’s eyes are opened Man and woman feel shame due to their nakedness Adam and […]

Mark’s Miracles Mystery

Have you ever experienced something good from God that answered your every prayer .. and then was told to keep it a secret? I think that’d drive me crazy. But often times, that’s exactly what Jesus did.

In the Gospel of Mark, we see quite a few times that Jesus told people to not mention […]

Death Sins

So, Jeremiah, do not pray for these people. Do not cry out to Me or petition me on their behalf. Do not plead with Me to save them. For I will not listen to them when they call out to Me for help when disaster strikes them. – Jeremiah 11:14

I’m working my […]

God & Evil

Every once in a while, people will say that I make God the creator of evil and therefore I make God evil. I think that’s a weird accusation. To me, it’s silly to think that God created this world with no thought or intention of evil being present. Clearly He knew it would be present […]

King’s Dates

Here are the dates I used to calculate the reigns of kings for my Bible Timeline. I bet there are more precise dates out there (Dr. Floyd Nolen Jones comes to mind), but these are the ones I used.

Title Person Status Birth Year Death Year Year Start Year End Duration Age Start Age End […]

KJVONLY: The One and Only?

Let me start by saying that I’m fully convinced that the KJV is an excellent translation. Especially if you live in the 17th century. But I have yet to meet a human being that lives in the 17th century, and I don’t know anyone who speaks the Goode King’s English in daily conversation. So if […]

On Women and Head Coverings

I find it interesting that 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 is pretty clear that women should wear head coverings when praying or prophesying, yet in Western culture, the overwhelming majority of women today do not obey this. Compared to African cultures, and the churches I’ve been to over there, the overwhelming majority of women do obey this. […]

What Would Rahab Do?

I think I might get a TShirt that says “What Would Rahab Do?”

Suppose you felt God calling you to be a missionary in a country hostile to Christianity. After saving up your hard earned money for a plane fare, you head out for the hinterlands. When you get off the plane, the immigration officer […]
