How many times have I said something (and heard preaching) about the “old law” referring to the Old Testament? The Bible certainly does use the terms “old covenant” and “new covenant.” See Matthew 26.28, 1 Corinthians 11.25, 2 Corinthians 3.4–18, Hebrews 8.7–9.1, Hebrews 9.15, and Hebrews 12.24 for references to the “new covenant.” The only…
Sometimes we seem to have a split personality as Christians, and we often do not think critically or logically about our faith. What do we really believe about our Lord Jesus Christ? When He says, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth,” how do we understand that? Do we think…

Early in my life’s journey, I came to a fork in the road. One path seemed lonely and steep, while the other seemed wide and easy. I chose the easier path which was purported to be filled with fun, frolicking, and frivolity. It sloped gently downward, at least to begin with, so I thought my…
I recently wrote an article about DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), focusing on our modern-day workplaces, but this seductive and destructive philosophy is gaining footholds among some modern-day churches who seek to identify with this world’s culture. They seem to think God commanded them to ride the cultural waves, but they are reading from a…
I’ve written before about DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). If you work for a company of any size these days, they probably have a DEI team, or at least a guy or gal who pushes DEI initiatives in your company. They will have a written DEI plan (usually easily accessible on their website) with a…
If you have been following the news, you’ve likely heard the Satanic Temple of Iowa erected a “religious display” in the Iowa state capitol next to the Christmas nativity scene. Why Jon Dunwell Didn’t Fight It Republican State Senator Jon Dunwell gave his reasons why he thought the display should be allowed, but he also,…
It has become fashionable for Christians to tell their neighbors and friends to “make Jesus Lord.” They say a person must accept Jesus as their personal savior and make Him Lord of their life. I am not opposed to using phrases and words which are not directly found in the Bible if they capture a…
