What medals do unbelievers hope place their hope in (1)

I recently heard a story that I’m pretty confident is true. Most of us have seen pictures of the warehouses at Auschwitz. The Nazis collected all the personal effects—shoes, clothes, jewelry, toys, etc.—of those who died in the gas chambers. There were […]

Did you know

I don’t remember hearing the expression eschatological salvation when I was studying at Dallas Theological Seminary. But over the past thirty years or so I’ve noticed that expression occurring increasingly in the commentary literature. Some pastors are using it as well.   So, […]

How important is

Israel was at war. The Midianites and their allies had severely afflicted the nation for seven years (Judg 6:1). However, God raised up Gideon to defeat those enemies and bring relief.  When Israel went to […]

Do open Theists (1)

Ricky asks, “Can you write an answer to Open Theology? I’m looking to answer a friend who hold to this heresy.”   I prefer the term Open Theism. We are all to be like the Bereans of Acts 17:11 […]

Winter

Most readers of this blog are familiar with Heb 11:6. It says that God rewards those who diligently seek Him. I was reading an OT passage recently that demonstrates the Lord’s grace in determining who it is that diligently seeks Him.  It’s likely […]

Why is it wrong to take the meaning of perish in John 316 and impose that on every other NT use of the word (3)

One of my many faults is that I’m sarcastic. I don’t think sarcasm is always wrong, but there have been many times when I’ve taken it too far. Even so, I love a good sarcastic remark.  We […]

What are five things you are thankful to God for today

In everything [en panti] give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus (1 Thess 5:18).   Some commentators suggest that the Greek words en panti in 1 Thess 5:18 should be always translated “always.” However, that […]

Did OT believers understand the Bema

In Judges 5, there is a song of victory. God had called out His people to fight against their enemies. He promised that He would give them victory if they […]

Why is it wrong to take the meaning of perish in John 316 and impose that on every other NT use of the word (2)

In my book The Ten Most Misunderstood Words in the Bible, I discuss the word lost, from the Greek word apollumi. The NKJV translates it as lost thirteen times. However, it is translated as perish more than twice as often (twenty-nine […]

What kind of people make the best leaders in a church

Many say that the first parable in the Bible is found in Judges 9:7-15. Some say it is a fable, but I’m not smart enough to know the difference, so […]
