On all the barren heights in the desert destroyers will come. Indeed, a sword of the LORD will devour from one end of the land to the other. There will be no peace for any person (Jeremiah 12:12, ISV). Whenever the sword of Lord is mentioned in the Old Testament, it is a literal sword. … Continue reading The Sword of the Lord
A commodity has several definitions. The most useful is an interchangeable item that satisfies a want or need in the marketplace. For example, a pound of pure (99.9%) metal has a value. It does not matter where it came from or who made it. The same types of coffee beans, grains, or even computer chips, … Continue reading Why Do Americans Believe That Jesus Is A Commodity?
24 November 2011 Source http://www.billygraham.org Wikimedia Commons Public Domain I read a book by this title about forty years ago and it is still the best description of Billy Graham. The problem is that Christians know so little of the Word of God that name Jehoshaphat does not mean anything to them. Jehoshaphat became King … Continue reading Billy Graham: “The Jehoshaphat of our Generation”
Type “population explosion” into google. It returns over 27,000,000 hits and almost every one refers to future human population. The current world population is over 7 billion people. It was 1 billion just after 1800. But as we look back the census data becomes less certain. It is difficult to find an agreement about the … Continue reading The Population Bomb

The confusion caused by mistranslating His Word is only one. This blog is about only one heresy; Deliberately mistranslating the word of God. Poor translations are … Continue reading When Is a Bible Translation Not the Word of God?
According to Wikipedia “Eyewitness testimony is the account a bystander gives in the courtroom, describing what they perceived happened during the specific incident under investigation. Ideally this recollection of events is detailed, however this is not always the case. This recollection is used as evidence to show what happened from a witness' point of view. … Continue reading Eyewitness Testimony: The Foundation and Basis of Reality
I agree with Secular Humanists about one thing – the Bible stands or falls on its truth as a whole. They, however think it doesn’t hold together. In defending his book, Killing Jesus, Bill O’Reilly took exception to this position. He believes that the Bible is accurate in its depiction of the crucifixion but wrong … Continue reading Who are you—mere man that you are—to talk back to God? Rom 9:20 ISV
Over twenty years ago we heard a sermon that God does not want lone ranger Christians. God established His Church and each and every believer is responsible to be part of His Church. It was based on a very principle of God’s Word. And let us continue to consider how to motivate one another to … Continue reading No Lone Rangers
Secular Humanism boldly proclaims that the events recorded in the Bible are not historic. But using those same standards, neither were Plato, Socrates, Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, Sun Tzu or most historic people or events. The oldest surviving manuscript of Plato’s documents dates to 895 AD. The Codex Oxoniensis Clarkianus 39 was copied more … Continue reading The Death of Science Part 5 — The Double Standard

Though we all have the ability to make choices, we also have the responsibility to live with the results of the decisions we make. No matter how well we think through our beliefs or how happy, sad, angry, … Continue reading In The Image of God

These principles were detailed in … Continue reading The Death of Science Part 4 Science Abandons Reality Karl Popper and Falsification
Almost every American colony had some form of establishment of religion. This was because their religion consisted of proven and necessary facts of existence. Religion was reliable, logical and rational to them. The modern established religion of Secular Humanism teaches that it is the only scientifically-based belief system in existence. It claims that all other … Continue reading The Death of Science Part 3: Reality Requires Religion
Every few months the same story hits the national or world news. A family or a parent does everything right, but a child dies anyway. The child might be sitting properly fastened into a car seat and the car is hit while stopped at a light or stop sign. A home is completely childproof, the … Continue reading The God of Love Created the World. Why Do Tragedies Happen?

Within a lengthy facebook post was the following direct quote. “I've recently become more interest with atheism and it is way different from the cults.” (sic) While there are many reasons for people's interest in this subject, there are three important, foundational points to keep in mind. First, the term Secular Humanism is a better … Continue reading The Power of Secular Humanism
My memory isn’t what it should be, but I do not remember anyone saying that he/she did not have a belief system until about 2 years ago. Almost daily now I seem to hear someone say that.Anyone who claims that they do not have a belief system is either uneducated or dishonest. There is nothing … Continue reading But I Don’t Have a Belief System!
Like everyone, I fail to completely live up to my principles. One of my principles which I have done much better at keeping is to not discuss evolution. Believers in evolution have chosen to believe and nothing I can do will change that belief. However, I constantly display the evidence for a young earth. Without … Continue reading The Age of the Earth: The Burden of Proof
The Love of God By Frederick M. Lehman 1917 The love of God is greater far Than tongue or pen can ever tell; It goes beyond the highest star, And reaches to the lowest hell; The guilty pair, bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win; His erring child He reconciled, And pardoned … Continue reading The Love of God
