I recently made a post which introduced this thought, called: Entropy – Why God, the Universe, and Pain Exist I mentioned, just briefly, the book of Job, and this prophet Elihu. The book of Job is, perhaps, one of the most difficult books of the bible for most Christians to read. To the casual observer,…
Preceding thoughts: How to Hear God; Prophecy is Natural (pt. 2) “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” -Jesus Christ (John 10:27) I will not, here, make a theological apology for the applicability of prophecy today, as I have done that elsewhere (The Year of the Lord’s Favor (or…
Been on the topic of the latter-days for a little while, I think before moving forward it would be prudent to discuss the general biblical concept of ‘antichrist.’ In giving greater enlightenment to what ‘antichrist’ is, we can have a better discernment of the coming antichrist kingdom, and the coming antichrist person. A prequel to…
Where there is no vision, the people perish… – Prov 29:18 1 Sam 3:1-3 And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision. 2 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his…
We often believe that our humility before God is in decrying anything we think that we know; we accept a sense of God’s sovereignty, and resolve ourselves to God’s will. Is this the right response in sitjations out of our control? It certainly is more noble than refraining to acknowledge God in our lives! But…
Keep trying to figure out how to start this one off, and I think I need to start in an odd place in order to get where I’m going: the basis theological premise for Roman Catholic church. There is a deep root of Western thought which comes from the Roman Catholic premise of the institutional…
Have you seen the golden chalice of God? It is filled with mixture. Have you seen the cloak of His presence? It is crimson wool. The presence of God is full and sweet like honey after a locust – the bitterness ends and sweetness begins in the anointed place of God. There is a table…
Been meaning to write a post (or some posts – we’ll see how this evolves) on political government, and Christianity for a while now. Receiving inspiration from a terrific article , I believe I will start here: ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…’ [We] American…
In the 1920s, Chicago’s first African American congregations were at a crossroads. After decades of investment, the churches and their musicians were proud of their accomplishments as they had “lifted the Negro race” to a position of separate but equal status with their white peers in worship. Worship in these churches largely mirrored worship in […]…
Amos 3:7 – ‘Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets’ Wow! That is an interesting statement! There are some passages in the bible that shake the fundamentals of our thinking to its core… in fact, the whole of scripture has this power. This verse is…
Heb 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. Is the Old Covenant coming back in the last days? This is an extremely prevalent belief right now, and I am setting out to prove to you –…
