    Good Friday is Coming

    As Good Friday approaches, please consider examining the claims Jesus made about Himself. Friends, if His resurrection didn’t happen, Christianity isn’t a viable worldview…it would be futile and misleading. Christianity’s existence hinges entirely on Jesus’s resurrection (1 Corinthians 15). “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I…

  • Jesus and Luke 24

    Jesus and Luke 24

    Per the ESV Study Bible: Written by Luke around A.D. 62 (30 years after Jesus’s Resurrection), an Antiochian physician (Col 4:14) and traveling companion of Paul, the third Gospel was intended for both “Jews and Gentiles alike.” In the twenty-fourth chapter we are told that Jesus’s body was not found…

  • Philippians 2: What Does “Emptied Himself” Refer To?

    Philippians 2: What Does “Emptied Himself” Refer To?

    Per GotQuestions: “Christ’s ‘emptying’ of Himself was the laying aside of the privileges of divinity, not divinity itself. In heaven, the Son of God possessed infinite honor and glory and adoration. But He chose to leave that position of honor, and He ‘made himself nothing’ (Philippians 2:7). When He came…

  • The “One Another” of Philippians Two

    To preface, friends, please always check what I say and write by Scripture…It’s so important that we test what is taught by anyone alongside the straightedge of God’s Word. Prior to “being made alive together with Christ” (Eph 2:5), we were spiritually dead (separated from God)…disobedient to God, carrying out…

  • From Where Does our Hope Come?

As Francis Schaeffer said, ‘Christianity is not a series of truths in the plural, but rather…

  • Jesus’s View of Scripture (Luke 24)

    “Jesus himself did not make a distinction between his authority and the authority of the written Scriptures. He acted upon the unity of his authority in the content of the Scriptures.” Francis Schaeffer’s Escape from Reason 📕 *Jesus quoted the Old Testament often, proclaiming it to be the Word of…

  • Is It Unkind to “Call-Out” False Teachers?

    Friends, a great deal of what Paul had written to churches (New Testament letters) was pertaining to false teachers. He was alerting these believers because he loved God, and wanted these fledgling churches to know the truth. And while this topic is certainly not uplifting, it is both kind and…

  • John 14

    I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life 14 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God;[a] believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?[b] 3 And if I go and prepare a…
