The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying, “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” (Psalm 2:2-3) I followed David Horowitz on Chris Arnzen’s “Iron Sharpening Iron Show” on August 14, 2019. Horowitz was interviewed about […]
Early Documents in the Debate over Preterism: James the Just and 1 Clement
In his “History of Preterism” in the book The End-Time Controversy, Thomas Ice fails to deal with a number of historical sources that refute his claim that preterism was unknown among the early Church Fathers. In the final analysis, it’s the Bible that counts not the works of non-biblical writers. Even someone like Peter was […]
Early Documents in the Debate Over Preterism: The Didache
While I was visiting my friend Mike Britton (who’s been in a coma for more than a year), I spoke with a man who had been discipled by Mike. He’s been teaching a Bible study on prophecy. We spoke on the phone. He told me about a back-and-forth debate he was having with a friend. […]
Fighting the Political Monster as Savior
Every time there is a crisis or tragedy, there is the usual call for our government to do something. Consider this Facebook post: Guns in our country are a little too sacred. There needs to be something done, hope our leaders can figure it out. By “our leaders,” he meant “The White House, The Senate, […]
Trying to Please Liberals is Futile
Like a trampled spring and a polluted well Is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked. (Prov. 25:26). One of the things I like about Pres. Trump is that he doesn’t back down in a political fight. For decades I’ve watched Republicans back down over policy issues, and Democrats have taken advantage of […]
Keeping the State From Becoming God
There’s no escaping a belief in God. The individual can be a god unto him or herself. “Every person doing what is right in his or her eyes” (Judges 17:6). The problem is, someone with a rock, club, sword, spear, knife, gun, or a nuclear weapon can change all of that. Separating the God of […]
When This One Thing is Gone, It’s All Over
London buses were outfitted with the following banner ads: “There’s Probably No God. Now Stop Worrying and Enjoy Life.”1 The sponsors hoped the postings would get people to question the existence of God: “This campaign to put alternative slogans on London buses will make people think — and thinking is anathema to religion,” the promoters […]
What’s the Best Approach to Interpreting the Bible?
If you had to instruct someone on how to interpret the Bible, how would you go about doing it? There are many books on how to interpret the Bible. These books in and of themselves aren’t bad, but the ordinary Christian is not going to spend time taking a hermeneutics course and studying these texts. […]
What Does the Bible Say About Citizenship?
In the modern world, then, each Christian is a citizen of two nations: An earthly nation like France, England, or the U.S.A., and the heavenly nation (Eph 2:6; not of this world, John 18:36), the church. Though we belong entirely to Christ, we do not on that account renounce our citizenship in the earthly nations, […]
Never Apologize to the ‘Rage Mob’
Never apologize to anyone if you didn’t do anything wrong, especially if you think it will gain you favor in a political dispute. Consider Mario Lopez’s comments about “transgenderism” in a recent interview with conservative pundit Candace Owens: “My God, if you’re three years old and you’re saying you’re feeling a certain way and think […]
Homosexual Presidential Candidate Quotes the Old Testament to Support the Minimum Wage
Here we go again. A hypocritical Leftist quotes the Bible to support governmental theft. Forcing companies to pay a minimum wage is theft. In addition, noting is said in the Constitution that gives authority to the Federal Government to pass minimum wage legislation. The President and every member of Congress takes an oath to uphold […]
Rat Political Policies Make Rat Cities
You’ve heard the news. Cities like Baltimore, New York, Detroit, and Chicago have a rat problem. Pres. Trump isn’t the first politician to make note of the problem. It’s not racist to point out that there’s a problem unless rat problems are associated with a particular race. Race doesn’t have anything to do with it. […]
