“Fear not.” “Be not afraid.” “You shall not be afraid.” “You shall not fear.” We see those encouraging phrases expressed by the LORD God Almighty many times over in the Bible. Whilst some say there’s one for every day of the year, I didn’t find that to be the reality in correct context from the Authorized …

God Doesn’t Bless Confusion or “Cleverness”
“Deeper knowledge of the truth of God requires knowledge of earlier simpler truths without which the deeper truths will never be revealed.” – John Walvoord. He made that statement in the context of biblical end-times prophecy and the reluctance for some people to accept what the Bible declares God will bring to pass in the end-times. At this …

So What’s the Idolatry?
Satan the devil must be very pleased indeed with the church leaders and many Christians presently. What with so much talk, protest, criticism and abuse among us regarding, abortion, same-sex marriage, climate change, Israel, the Democrats, the Republicans, the USA Presidential election, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, how could he not be pleased? How he loves to see us …
Jesus Will See To It
A man once told me he found friends outside the church to be, “better than those inside the church. They’re more loyal, more trustworthy and more reliable by far.” Sadly, most of them in his church did turn out to be disloyal, untrustworthy and unreliable, nevertheless, I asked, “How many of the outsiders would remain your friend if …
These Make-believe Outraged Hypocrites
He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first John 8:7. These words of Jesus were the first to come to mind when hearing and reading comments from the many self-righteous wolves ripping and tearing into Donald Trump for his sexual remarks about women that he made to someone as a private …
Righteousness-conscious Christians
The Anglican Bishop of a major rural city here is the latest to date, publicly declaring support for same-sex marriage. There’s nothing surprising about that of course, but for any Bible Christians wondering how such a decision can be made based on what the Bible says about marriage, this is how it’s done. The Bishop’s quote: “The …
We Who Have the Mind of Christ
All glory to God! Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus Philippians 2:5. How gracious of God Almighty that He should grant His redeemed ones the mind of the Lord. Whenever I’m asked to give the difference between what it is Bible Christians believe verses those of other religious people, my response …
Stop Getting Run Over by People who don’t Know God
“God doesn’t expect us to get run over by people who don’t know Him.” – Lester Sumrall. This post is dedicated to my fellow Christians who are getting run over by people who don’t know God. Certainly, we are called to turn the other cheek Matthew 5:39, when insulted and persecuted for righteousness’ sake, but it is wise too …

God-sent Strong Delusion
A 30’s something 5′ 9″ white male interviewed individually some US University students about how they view identity in America. His questions to each: “If I told you I was a woman ….. a Chinese woman….. a 7 year old…. 6′ 5″ tall, what would your response be?” For someone brought up in an era when mental …
Hypocrites in the Church
“And now, my dear friends, let me counsel you. The grand thing the church needs at this time is God’s Holy Spirit.” – Charles H. Spurgeon. I wonder how many “amen”s he received from his people the morning he made that statement nearly 160 years ago. Not many, I suspect, for he was referring to the need …
