From a political standpoint, Jesus' entrance into time could not be more opportune. God raised up the 12 sons of Jacob to be the nation of Israel; a vessel through which He would show His lovingkindness and mercy; a nation through which all the world would be blessed. Israel through many failures, arrived at the Davidic kingdom. This brought a time of defeat of their enemi...

"Look how far you have fallen! Turn back to Me and do the works you did at first. If you don't repent, I will come and remove your lampstand from its place among the churches" (Rev. 2:5, NLT New Living Translation used for this article). The city of Ephesus was an important seaport on the Aegean Sea. It was the location of the great temple of Artemis (or Diana). False re...

What comes into your mind when you think about God is the most important thing about you. (A.W.Tozer). What do you think when you think about God? It has been said we can have knowledge about God, that is we can know about God, but we can never have complete (exhaustive) knowledge about God. Why is that? It is because God is an infinite and incomprehensible mystery. Is God...

What comes into your mind when you think about God is the most important thing about you. (A.W.Tozer). What do you think when you think about God? What you think about God flows from what you believe about God. And what you believe about God flows from what you know about God. So, what do you believe about God? Where does your knowledge about God come from? The Bible is G...

1Cor.11:23 26. 23ForI received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, thatthe Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said,"This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me." 25In the same wayHe tookthe cup also after supper, saying,"This cup is thenew covenant in My blood; d...

"The fear of the LORD is the foundation of true knowledge" (Proverbs 1:7, NLT New Living Translation). Recent images transmitted from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to earth are contradicting the "Big Bang" cosmological model for the origin of the universe. The Big Bang became the universally accepted alternative to the Biblical doctrine of creation ex nihilo duri...

Scripture is central for doing theology as it roots us as creatures made in God's image. Our creaturely nature is a reminder that we are fully dependent on our Creator God and upon His self-disclosure. Therefore, when the question of 'multiple ways to heaven' or the claim that all religions lead to the same god arise, we are called upon to respond based on what God has spo...

2 Kings 22:8 "And Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the secretary, 'I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the LORD.'" This was a moment of great irony during the reign of young King Josiah of Judah. How could it be that the Word of God was lost and apparently lying unnoticed in the house of God?! Hilkiah the high priest was clearly carrying out his dutie...

If you are a Christian, God loves you. Christ loves you. In John 16:27 Jesus said, "the Father Himself loves you." The grand proof of the Father's love for you is Christ's death for you. Rom.5:8 says, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." If you personalize this, which you can rightfully do, it will read, "But...
