If you are a Christian in America, online, and haven’t heard about The Chosen: Last Supper yet, I congratulate you. I have been seeing advertisements constantly for the past couple of months. It hits theaters on April 28, and I have been told I should get my entire church to go see it and also…

Jesus, Help Us to Love Wisely
Though I was not completely surprised, I was still slightly bewildered as almost the entire Democrat wing of representatives refused to rejoice in the beautiful gifts and accolades given to several individuals and families during President Trump’s address to Congress on March 4, 2025. The entire side of the room seemed petty, sulky, and inhumane…
Doing the Weightier Matters of the Law
Jesus confronted the Pharisees: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others” (Matt. 23.23). The other aspects of the law are not necessarily less…
Defying Gravity, Truth, and Reality
Wicked star Cynthia Erivo has been cast to play the leading role of Jesus in the already irreverent play Jesus Christ Superstar in 2025. The fact that I am not surprised says a lot about today’s attention-demanding, morally bankrupt, and frankly uncreative Hollywood. The farther they get from the one true God the more fake,…
No Creed but the Bible?
“We have no creed but the Bible,” said the preachers of my youth. Indeed, this is the mantra of many fundamentalists groups and, often, groups which spin off into heresy and cultism. That does not prove it to be an incorrect statement, but that is a fact. What are you saying when you claim, “I…
“People Are Fundamentally Good” – Pope Francis
In a rare American interview with 60 Minutes’ Norah O’Donnell on CBS, Pope Francis said many controversial things. At about the 38:44 mark of the video, after being asked by O’Donnell about what gives him hope as he looks at this world, he answered, “People are fundamentally good. We are all fundamentally good. Yes, there…
Did Moses Change God’s Mind?
Christians often get heartburn trying to figure out passages such as Deuteronomy 9.13–10.11. It records the golden calf incident in which the Israelites at the foot of Mt. Horeb (Sinai) decided to make a golden graven image just weeks after God had audibly spoken from that same mountain, “You shall worship no other gods before…
Who Makes the Rules around Here?
They say we must keep the Christian God out of the public schools because it’s not fair to families of other faiths to teach just one God. After all, Christians would hate for Allah to be taught in school, right? They tell us to keep all gods out of the public school system and we…
The Bible Never Says “Old Law”
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…
What Part of “All Authority” Have We Not Understood?
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…
