Train Like You Fight, Fight Like You Train: Are You Ready for War?
WARFARE. It’s an ugly thing with very real consequences. Far too many soldiers have been brought home under the cover of the flag. Some never made it home at all. Having spent 20 years in the military, and four deployments to the Persian Gulf, I understand what goes into preparing for war. A service member... Continue Reading →
How Shall We Live? Reminders for Life!
In last week's article, we went over Jude 1-13. While we learned that Jude was the brother of Jesus, we also learned this was not a point that Jude felt he should brag about. In fact, he doesn’t even mention it in his letter. Jude felt his calling was to be a bondservant of Christ.... Continue Reading →
Doubly Dead: Danger Ahead!
DANGER. It's a term not to be used lightly. While we, as Christians, look forward to eternal peace with the Father, in the Son, our present environment comes with no shortage of danger. In particular, I'd like to focus on the spiritual danger imposed by false teachers and apostates. To set the stage, we'll primarily... Continue Reading →
Glory to God Alone!
“Not to us, O Lord, not to us,But to Your name give gloryBecause of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth.”Psalm 115:1, NASB NOT TO US. We live in a world that screams, "US!" Whether it be our job success, latest toys, or life experiences, the world says to always look out for #1. The sheer... Continue Reading →
I Am the True Vine
Let’s be real: Jesus was no stranger when it came to speaking in parables and confusing language. In fact, we’re even told the purpose of much of it was to prevent some from hearing and believing the truth (Mark 4:10-12). But what was Jesus getting at when He said He was the true vine? Was...

Who Can Stay His Hand?
The book of Daniel is a fascinating book. We see Daniel and his friends in the midst of exile serving a pagan king and being seeped in pagan culture. They rose to power as they served the Lord faithfully where they were, by working hard at the tasks they were given. In this, we see... Continue Reading →
Can Rome Even Identify the Word of God?
A frequent claim by Roman Catholics is that Protestants need Rome to know what the Bible is. After all, how could we infallibly know the contents of the Bible? We need an infallible authority, and Rome is just that authority they claim. However, I'd like to pose a question: Can Rome actually identify what the... Continue Reading →
EPIC CHARGE: Duties of the Church Body
SUNDAY. It is a day nearly everyone has grown fond of. Whether it be the unbeliever who gets to enjoy a day off work, or the Christian who is looking forward to fellowshipping with other believers, it truly is a day to be recognized. Unfortunately, for too many believers, it tends to be the only... Continue Reading →
In the Face of Judgment
JUDGMENT. It is a word we see thrown around quite a bit. Whether it be from casual sinners telling other Christians to “Judge not,” or the hardened heart declaring, “Only God can judge me,” it has become all too common of a word. My fear, however, is that the commonality of the word may be... Continue Reading →
