Embracing or Denying the Power of God
In the old Christian hymn “There Is Power in the Blood,” is the power in the literal blood, or is the power in the One who shed His blood? And if the power is not in the literal blood, then what does the blood represent? How does one access the power?

Spiritual Warfare, Angels, Demons, and How to Find Truth
In the aftermath of my program Spiritual Warfare: Angels, Demons, Quantum Physics, and Your Brain, I have received a lot of feedback—some positive, some confused, and some negative. Why?
-
Overcoming Evil
How would you describe evil? I have heard a variety of ideas about evil. One states that essentially every culture of the world recognizes evil as the exploitation of others. I think we would all agree that exploiting people is evil. But is there more to evil than purposeful exploitation?

The Purpose of Confessing Our Sins to Others
The Bible advises us to confess our sins to one another—but why? What does this mean? Is this talking about making one’s personal sins public? Is it talking about ritual confession with a church-authorized priest in a confessional booth?

How Jesus Treated the Samaritans and Lessons for Today
Most Jewish religious leaders through history, including in Christ’s day, believed that the Samaritan religion was a false one, a counterfeit of what God gave through Moses and His prophets. While I agree with this conclusion, the question I want to ask today is: How did Jesus treat the Samaritans?
-
The Conversion and Salvation of Peter
Despite Peter’s belief, what he knew to be true, and his choice to follow Jesus, he was still not fully converted. Have you considered why Peter needed the experience of Christ admonishing him to “feed My sheep”?

Who Are the Remnant of God?
The word translated as “remnant” in Scripture refers to those who remain, the last portion of a group. But who are these end-time remnant?

Pastors Faithful to Jesus Think for Themselves
Pastors fall into two general camps: those faithful to Jesus and those faithful to something else. I am focusing on them in this blog because they are in a place of spiritual leadership, where their influence cascades down.

The First Death: A Manifestation of God’s Grace
The imposed-law view understands death as being inflicted by God as punishment for sin. Those who want to present God in the best possible light rightly reject the idea that God is the source of death or would act in a manner as His enemy. The problem is a misunderstanding of imposed law, design law, and differentiate between first death and second death.
