Why King David Could Not Build the Temple
Have you ever wondered why King David, who had such a heart for the Lord, was forbidden from building God’s temple? God told the Israelite king, “You have shed much blood and have fought many wars. You are not to build a house for my Name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight” (1 Chronicles 22:8 NIV84).

Learn to Discern: How to Determine What Is True
We are in a war – a war of ideas, a war of beliefs, a war of perspectives, a war of values, a war of cultures; we are in a war for your mind. Do you recognize it? Do you feel your mind being assaulted by warring factions?

Bible Prophecy: The Overarching Theme
The Bible is filled with prophecies, and thousands of books have been written about Bible prophecy – many of them contradicting each other. As we examine the question of Bible prophecy, we must ask: What is the primary purpose of prophecy? Some believe prophecy is given so that we can glimpse the future, predict events of tomorrow, perhaps drawing a timeline. But Jesus said:

Tapping into God’s Power
God is love, and God loves you. He is the infinite source of all life, with unlimited power, and He longs to provide you with all the resources of heaven to enable you to live victorious over sin. The power of God is free and available to each and every one of us.

Christian Beware the Trap of the Social Justice Movement!
Justice is doing that which is right; that’s why in the Bible, the same Greek word for “justice” is also translated “righteousness.” The just are the righteous ones – those who have right hearts and do what is right.

Dinah: A Lesson in Satan’s Tactics for Today
A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog about the insidiousness of sin that describes how when we are sinned against, a seed of bitterness, resentment, hurt, and anger is planted into our hearts. And how if this seed is not rooted out, then the wrong done to us, or someone we love, can grow in our hearts until we become filled with hate and, ultimately, become like the person who wronged us.

The Undermining of Religious Liberty in the USA
Did you notice that recent events in the United States took another step toward fulfillment of Bible prophecy? On Friday, May 29, 2020, the Supreme Court, in a 5-to-4 landmark ruling, set a new precedent that eroded our First Amendment freedom of religious practice.

The Insidiousness of Sin – and God’s Remedy
Sin is transgression of the law – a violation of the law of love – the protocols upon which the Creator built reality to operate. Breaking love also violates trust (faith) with God; thus, anything done without faith (trust) in God is also sin (Romans 14:23).

Evidence of a Spherical Earth
Given the number of heated protests we have received from flat-earthers in response to my previous blog, I wanted to take some time to list several, incontrovertible evidences that the earth is indeed a sphere.

Flat-Earthers: A Lesson in How We Deceive Ourselves
Today, here in 2020, there are people who believe that the earth is flat. When I first came across this modern movement, I thought it was a joke. Surely, in the modern age of science, technology, satellites, space flights, and telescopes, no one would believe the earth is flat. Sadly, some do.

Penal Substitution: Modern Baal Worship
More than 2,500 years ago, the pagan worship of Baal had infected Israel to become the dominant belief system and worship practice amongst the people whom God had called His own. In order to combat this distorted belief system, God raised up the prophet Elijah, who boldly confronted the false system of worship.

The Secret to Happiness and Joy
“The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart” (Psalm 19:8 NIV84). Have you ever struggled to find happiness and joy? Often my patients tell me how desperate they are to find happiness, but many seem to find only more pain and misery. What I have discovered is that most people don’t know the secret to happiness and joy.
