    The Dark Ages

    Call it the Dark Ages if you like and yes it's getting dark here in the US. But what is amazing is that nothing stops God and the gospel message from getting out to everyone in every generation. As you probably know, persecution of the faith always results in the spread of Biblical...

    Translation issue(s)?

    I am not an expert in Greek, but I have seen many times how a translation is derived by a Greek expert. The same word can have many different meanings so the challenge to the translator is to choose the most appropriate meaning. Grammar and syntax are vital, but the context of the passage...

    Googles AI sentient being…thinks it’s human and has a soul

    I don't believe AI is or should be called a living soul or sentient no matter how it might appear. Only God can create that, as He did with the human race, creating us in the "image and likeness of God." AI is a machine that is just extremely fast, and this is where it gets scary. It can...

    I hate going to church

    The secret to enjoying church is to find one where the pastor knows that his job is to study and teach. If he is doing his job and teaching the Word of God in depth you will not be bored. It is fascinating. The deeper you go in understanding the Word, the deeper your love for God becomes...

    I led him to Christ, what should he do next?

    Encourage him to "grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." For that he will need a good Pastor-Teacher. Perhaps you know of one.

    Differences between Christians and Jehovah's witness.

    JWs do not believe in the deity of Christ, Christians do. JWs do not believe in the trinity, Christians do. JWs think they might be a part of the 144,000 witnesses spoken of in Revelation, but they are not Jewish, for the most part, so this is not possible. In short JWs reject the person and...

    electric cars

    One of the appeals of the electric car is its simplicity. (I would never buy a hybrid car because of its complexity: gas power + electric power + transitional devices. Its like driving around in the space shuttle.) If you are a do it yourselfer, there are kits you can buy to convert certain...

    Feeling God Has Rejected Me

    Bad decisions lead to bad consequences and limit options. Confess your sins to the Lord. (1 John 1:9) Start making good decisions that line up with what you know to be the will of God. Study the scriptures (find a good pastor). Believe the scriptures. Apply what you know to your life. You...

    One taken,one left. The rapture.

    This has nothing to do with the rapture of the church. One taken, one left refers to the baptism of fire at the second advent of Christ. Christ returns and (amongst other things) removes all unbelievers from the earth so that the millennium starts with believers only. This is also the time...

    ukraine

    The situation with the missionaries I referred to has changed. They decided to leave Ukraine and by the grace of God managed to get across the border to Romania and are now back in the USA. Yesterday they gave a talk at a pastor's conference which is well worth listening to. It is about 1:33...

    ukraine

    During times of stress and hardship people will turn to God. There is a lot of positive volition (interest in God and Christ) in Ukraine. I know of a missionary there that evangelizes and trains believers to become pastors. They are not leaving regardless of the circumstances; it is a part of...

    What do we make of these verses?

    A couple of ideas come to mind: 1. Peter James and John saw the glory of Christ at the transfiguration. 2. John again saw the glory of Christ as he was given the contents of the book of Revelation. 3. Paul, though not yet a believer or an apostle, saw the glory of Christ on the Damascus...

    Can you please share verses about motivation?

    Lam 3:21 This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. Lam 3:22 The LORD'S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. Lam 3:23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. Lam 3:24 "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I have hope in...

    Can you please share verses about motivation?

    Psa 27:13 I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. Psa 34:15 The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous And His ears are open to their cry. Psa 34:16 The face of the LORD is against evildoers, To cut off the memory...

    Just a few thoughts regarding the Last Days

    When a person rejects Christ he has no good alternatives. He has to fill the vacuum of his soul with something. He goes for things, pleasure, drugs, humanistic philosophy, religion, arrogant self centeredness, or even the direct worship of Satan and the demonic realm. Most of the world rejects...

    Are Christians to speak up when they see evil?

    If you want to speak up against evil that is OK as long as you can do it without getting into self righteous arrogance and legalism. But the solution to sin and evil begins with the gospel message and the acceptance of God's salvation by believing in Christ. Salvation is where a turn around...
