Reformation Day: Semper Reformanda
October 31st, 1517, a day that changed the world. Though, on that specific day, there was nothing truly extraordinary that took place. Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door at the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. Again, nothing out of the ordinary. Announcements, invitations, and the like were often nailed to the door.
The Real Focus of the Great Commission
The following article was first published in the Brigade Leader E-Magazine for Christian Service Brigade in February, 2021. One of the most famous passages in all of Scripture is the Great Commission found in Matthew 28. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the
Ask Jesus
I was reading Luke 18 in my devotional reading this morning. This is a familiar section of Scripture for many Christians. We see the Pharisee and the Tax collector, the rich ruler, the persistent woman, the children coming to Christ. Finally, we see Jesus healing the blind man in Luke 18:35-43. We all know the
A Response to Tony Hinchcliffe’s Trump Rally Performance
Last night, Donald Trump held a massive rally in NYC at Madison Square Gardens. Thousands were in attendance, national media coverage was everywhere. It was a chance for him to make another appeal to the American people 9 days before the General Election on November 5th. Democrats and Liberals were already attacking the event as
A Man Who Fears God
Job was a man who was blameless and upright who feared God and turned away from evil (Job 1:1). This is how the book of Job opens up. The book repeats this several times as the story goes deeper and we see Job continually seek the Lord even through trials. But what I find interesting
Two Bad Choices
With the 2024 election just a couple of weeks away, a lot of focus has been put on the Evangelical Vote. Let’s face it, Christians are in a tough spot this election. We have two bad choices on the ticket. Neither candidate seems to be a Christian by their fruit, or lack thereof, and neither
Did God Really Say?
Satan started out by casting doubt on what God had said to Adam and Eve. “Did God really say?” “Are you sure this is what God told you?” (Gen. 3:1) He did not start out with the big lie. He made the woman think about it, he cast doubt on the command. What is interesting
Book Review: Losing Our Religion by Russell Moore
A couple of months ago I was challenged by a friend to read “Losing Our Religion” by Russell Moore. This challenge came after several months of reading my very politically partisan posts on Facebook. It wasn’t a rebuke. It wasn’t condemnation. It was a challenge. It was to gain some perspective. So, since I have
Start Your Mornings With God
I was watching some videos on YouTube the other day and came across one that was about a verse that changed the speaker’s life. The verse was Psalm 90:14 Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Psalm 90:14 ESV I could see immediately
Faith Without Christ Is Not Faith
I see a lot on Twitter or “X” about the election. This is not surprising, we are just a few weeks away from an important Presidential Election here in the United States. Now, I am not going to get into the fray in this post about who to vote for between Kamala Harris and Donald
