Heb.11:6 says, "And without faith it is impossible to pleaseHim, for he whocomes to God must believe that He is andthatHe is a rewarder of those who seek Him." God is. God exists. The writer to the Hebrews is not speaking about just any god. He is speaking about the God who revealed Himself to the fathers (Israel's ancestors) through the prophets. He is speaking about the ...

It is almost three weeks since the USA presidential elections as I write this post. In the run up to the elections, Christians in and out of America were far from unanimous in their choice of candidate for President. Now that the results appear to be more or less settled, Evangelical Christians are trying to make Biblical sense of the outcome. What are the implications for...

From time to time, when talking with people about the claims of the gospel, they would reject the gospel and say, "When I stand in the final judgment, all I want, from whatever God there is, is justice." The basis of this statement is generally based on the following : (1) all men are basically good and capable of good works; (2) the final judgment, if there is one, will b...

There is the thought today that truth is a power play constructed by the cultural and financial elites to control the masses. Truth is also thought to be subjective in nature consisting of an individual's preference, opinion and experience. Others say that truth is a collective judgement and is therefore the consequence of consensus. Then there are those who blatantly deny...

Before we get into the meat of the matter, I must make a few things clear. The term "rights" is used in the title to refer to the concept of human rights. Human rights refer to the consensus of arbitrarily derived morals and standards of human behaviour that are protected by law. What is wrong with these rights is that men have created them. Men are reaching for privileges...

Col.1:13-14 says, "For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." A corresponding passage is Acts 26:18 where Paul said the Lord Jesus sent him to the Gentiles "to open their eyes so that they may turn fromdarkness to light and from the dominion ofSatan to God, that ...

History, a topic usually associated with yawns, thick books and big brained boring teachers. But bear with me for a few moments as I attempt to shed some light on a subject that has been shelved at the back of a dark room. Firstly, definitions. History should not be defined simply as past events in some given time. The past refers to an earlier time period that is fixed a...

Choices. We face them every day. We make them every day. Some choices are easy to make. Some choices are more difficult and we need to gather information and think carefully before making the choice. And then there are those choices we wish we did not have to deal with. Some people tend to ignore them with the hope that they will go away. In the Bible we have the record...

For those who are pondering on the title, I urge you not to be dissuaded by its simplicity. Simple questions are usually the most profound and this one is the most important question in the world. I sincerely believe this simple question needs to be revisited and answered by Churches today in Trinidad and Tobago and the wider Caribbean. How do most believers think about t...

Psalm 123. To You I lift up my eyes, O You who are enthroned in the heavens! 2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the LORD our God, Until He is gracious to us. 3 Be gracious to us, O LORD, be gracious to us, For we are greatly filled with contempt. 4 Our soul is g...

Psalm 65:1, "To You praise is due, O God, in Zion; To You a vow is performed." (NICOT Psalms). The opening lines in this psalm begins with "To You". The LXX (Septuagint or Greek OT) translated "praise is due" as "praise is fitting or proper." Why is it fitting to praise God? Firstly, praise is fitting because God is the hearing-prayer-One. Vs.2 says, "O You who hear pr...

Phil.1:6 says, "For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus." The context of this verse is Paul's thanksgiving. Paul thanked God for the Philippians. Paul thanked God for their fellowship with him in the work of the gospel. Paul's third point of thanksgiving is found in vs.6. Let us examine this ...

"I do not not believe in evolution." Your first reaction to this sentence will be to correct it by removing one "not". You will assert that this is not correct English. And you will be right. However, if this statement was written in Greek, it would be correct because it would be regarded as an emphatic declaration. The Greek New Testament has many examples of this "not no...

The apostle Paul described the Christians in Rome as "beloved of God" (Rom.1:7). He described the Thessalonian Christians as "beloved by God" (1Thess.1:4) and as "beloved by the Lord" (2Thess.2:13). In all three instances it is proper to say that Christians are God's beloved people. In Rom.1:7 "beloved" is a verbal adjective with a passive sense. Firstly, the adjective sa...
