Designer Jesus

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. (John 1:1-3) The Apostle John penned the opening lines of his Gospel in response to […]

The Real History of Israel and Palestine – Pt. 2

This is Part 2 of a two-part series on the Palestinian problem. In Part 1, we began examining the lies (or, if you prefer, the more politically correct disinformation) being told about Israel’s history and its right to the land now called Palestine. While this article does not discuss mysticism, it provides a historical foundation […]

The Real History of Israel and Palestine – Pt. 1

I am writing a book titled Becoming God Through Social Justice: How Mysticism is Dividing the Church. For clarification, by mysticism, I mean panentheism (God in all and all in God). How is this shift in worldview impacting culture and dividing the church? Perhaps a prepublication preview through a short series of articles will provide […]

Warnings to the Church

The biblical job description of pastors and elders is twofold. First, they are to guard the flock from false teachers trying to invade the church from the outside and from false teachers rising up from within. (Acts 20:28-30) Second, church leaders are also to: equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up […]

“Dear Alan…” Letter to a Deconstructor (Part 2)

In my previous article, “‘Dear Alan…’ Letter to a Deconstructor (Part 1),” I explained how my friend, Alan Bondar, issued a challenge to Christians to read a pre-publication copy of his book titled, How to Kill God the Easy Way. Alan, who was once in Christian ministry, now refers to himself as an “agnostic atheist.” […]

“Dear Alan…” Letter to a Deconstructor (Part 1)

In mid-July of this year, my pastor sent me a screenshot of a Facebook post made by a mutual acquaintance. I’ve known Alan Bondar for about 20 years now, going back to when he was a youth minister. My pastor has known him for a bit more than half that time, initially through Alan’s ex-wife […]

Life’s Questions in Rock and Roll

As weird as it may seem, life’s ultimate questions are often posed in rock-and-roll lyrics. Consider, for example, the 1969 hit, “And When I Die,” by the band, Blood, Sweat and Tears. Like so many other poets, story-tellers, and just average human beings have questioned, “And When I Die” is all about the question of […]

Liberation Theology – Deeper Insight or Distorted Delusion?

Liberation theology left out the Gospel and substituted class warfare as the central doctrine.

They Progressed From Us…

If the Apostle John were to write his epistles today, perhaps 1 John 2:19 might read more like this: They progressed from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. Seems like a lot of people are progressing away from us today. By […]
