There are so many depictions of “Jesus” today, from books like Jesus Calling to films like The Passion of the Christ and The Chosen, and most of these depict a false Jesus. Some are downright blatant in their dangerous heresy, like The DaVinci Code. Anything, though, which isn’t 100% biblically accurate—taken straight from the pages […]

Spiritual Warfare
There is so much debate around spiritual warfare, demonic possession, deliverance ministry, and the like, causing me to evaluate my understanding and nail down exactly what is biblical truth about the matter. Looking to the New Testament church, there is no Scriptural support for demonic possession of Christians, per se, but there is Scriptural support […]
Influence
You know, struggling with eating healthy has brought some things to my attention. There’s so much contradictory “advice” out there, it’s utterly confusing and downright chaotic. Eat dairy. Stay away from dairy. Eat soy, it’s great for hormones. Stay away from soy, it’s inflammatory and damages the body. Paleo is the only way to go. […]
Native Tongue
Have you ever learned a foreign language? I chose French in junior high, but then I switched to Spanish during young adulthood in college. The key when learning a new language is practice, practice, practice! This is also true for public speaking. The first thing my public speaking professor urged us to do was practice. […]
Pandemic
Y’all, there’s a pandemic! No, I’m not referring to that physical virus spreading around. I’m talking about a spiritual plague in our local churches—that of false conversion and apostasy. We have people sitting on our pews every Sunday are who are in false conversion, and they don’t even know it! Likewise, we have people […]
“Reckless” Love?
You cannot turn on a radio today and not hear “Reckless Love” by Cory Asbury at some point. It’s a dramatic song that speaks to the emotions, making you feel good and loved. A couple years ago, I even had our youth singing it before crowds. But when we begin to rely too much on […]
Chameleon or Butterfly?
I taught this in my Sunday Bible school class some years ago. It’s good to reflect on, determining in which category you fit. We look at two creatures and how they correlate to our walk with Christ. The chameleon and the butterfly. The chameleon is the type of person who proclaims the name of Christ […]
Once Saved, Always Saved?
Greetings, dear family in Christ. As always, I come with His love, exhorting, teaching, correcting, and rebuking with mercy in the name of Jesus Christ, only passing along the lessons I’ve learned and feel the call to share. I pray over each of you that you will approach these entries with teachable hearts, eager to […]
Jude
It was laid on my heart to study the book of Jude. Yes, Jude—you know, that short book of the New Testament just before Revelation. Many may often overlook this book, because it may not be as “popular” as Genesis or Revelation or others in between, but it packs a spiritual punch we should not […]
Testing
Testing. No, I’m not trying out the new mic at the church’s building. I’m talking about testing the spirits. Have you ever been so dedicated to something, so moved by something, but then find out everything you thought you knew about that thing was a lie? It can utterly shatter you, especially when it concerns […]
