The White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt tells CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network) that Paula White, White House Faith Advisor, has been doing an excellent Job gathering faith leaders to "spread the word of this administration as well as the word of God...". This claim jumps out at me as a summation of what Leavitt believes... Continue Reading →
Who is the Antichrist?
This morning I am thinking about the book of Revelation and how many people I encounter have interpreted its prophecies. From the outset let me be clear, I disagree with this interpretation of the Bible, my thought is simply to express beliefs of others and then ask one simple question about how this interpretation should...

Being Honest
Scripture: Ephesians 4:25-32 25 So then, putting away falsehood, let each of you speak the truth with your neighbor, for we are members of one another. 26 Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and do not make room for the devil. 28 Those who steal must give up...

David a Myth? Does it Matter?

Did God Really Say?
“Did God really say" is the snake's opening remark to the woman in Genesis 3:1; what a way to open a conversation. I think because of its connection with the snake, many Christians shy away from asking this question, and in certain corners of social media I see individuals using memes and comments quoting "Did...
