Introduction In my private time with the Lord this week I felt the question pressed upon me “Did we forget Hebrews chapter 11?”. Some of you who are diligent students of God’s Word know what Hebrews 11 is about. Hebrews is one of my favorite post-Gospel books of the Bible to study. This blog post…

Today’s Christian Culture vs. The Early Church
In this blog post, I would like to talk about Acts chapter 23. Paul is right now before the Sanhedrin council and states that he has lived all his life in good conscience with God. However, we see that the high priest, Ananias, does not believe that and asks for people to stone Paul. Paul…
Tough Words – Our Heavenly Father
Today is Father’s Day, a day that we recognize our earthly fathers for all that they do for us. For some, this is a day to remember fathers who are no longer with us. I am thankful for a great God-fearing earthly father. Today I want to talk about who our Heavenly Father is. I…
Acts 21:37-22:30 — A Reflection on Real Christianity
I have been working on making some changes that you will soon see on this blog, which is why I have not posted as much as usual. I wanted to pick back up in the Book of Acts. In my last post, I left off on Acts 21:36 which is where Paul was attacked in…
The Fear of God
The fear of the Lord is something that is not just missing in American leaders, it is something that the church has lost. There is no true fear of God in many churches. Most of the churches in America have little to zero reverence for the Lord. The average church in America has become more…
Do You Actually Understand the Word of God?
I find it troubling how many people do not know Jesus; I also find it more troubling how many people do not properly know Jesus. There are many people who are not saved, and there are also many people who think they are saved, but truly are not. Many people might go to church once…
Acts 21:1-36: What Do You Represent?
Introduction In this blog post, I am going to discuss the majority of chapter 21 in the Book of Acts. As always, I encourage you to take the time to read this chapter in its entirety. In the first six verses of chapter 21, we see that Paul and his travel companions go to the…
Encouragement
“It is better to trust in the LordThan to put confidence in man.” – Psalm 118:8 (NKJV) Many people today are concerned about the future of our nation. Will we reopen the first week of May or not? How bad are the economic impacts going to be both short term and long term? How many more new cases…
Acts Chapter 20: Foundational Truths
Introduction As we have seen through the Book of Acts, there are many important lessons and principles found in this book of the Bible. We must note while the church may never exactly function the way it did in the Book of Acts, we still have many principles to apply from this book. Acts 20:1-3:…
A Plague in the Church
My Thoughts Much of the American church today wants to focus on how to grow its congregation. Many seminaries teach strategies on how to grow a church. The sad thing is the vast majority of these programs only look at what the people want rather than what God wants. One of the largest plagues to…
