Prophecy Part 4: Triumphal Entry

Nate

To continue our study of prophecies in the Bible (begun here), I'd like to look at a very interesting prophecy fulfillment recorded in the synoptic gospels. By the way, if you're unfamiliar with the term, the synoptic gospels are Matthew, Mark, and Luke. They're called "synoptic" because they follow the same basic outline of events.… Continue reading Prophecy Part 4: Triumphal Entry

Prophecy Part 3: Egypt & Rachel

Nate

I've begun a series of posts that examine the prophecies in the Bible. You can find the first one here. Biblical prophecies have always been touted as providing proof that the Bible is actually the inspired word of God. But do they really stand up to scrutiny? In this post, I'd like to look at… Continue reading Prophecy Part 3: Egypt & Rachel

Prophecy Part 2: Throne Forever

Nate

In my last post, I talked about the importance of biblical prophecy in determining whether or not the Bible is truly inspired by God. I offered a list of criteria we could use to examine each prophecy, and that's the criteria we'll be considering as we move forward. The importance of the Bible in our… Continue reading Prophecy Part 2: Throne Forever

Why Gay Marriage Is Not a Civil Rights Issue

EDIT: I just wanted to say that I no longer agree with this article -- I've changed my mind about a number of things since then. However, I've so far decided to leave up my old posts as a record of the evolution in my thought processes over the years. _______________________________________________________________________ I've posted on the… Continue reading Why Gay Marriage Is Not a Civil Rights Issue

God and Global Warming

Nate

I’ve found it interesting in recent years that the Global Warming debate has been so controversial, especially among those who consider themselves to be Christians. I know their general point is that God will destroy the world, not man. Tangential to that is the argument that what we are witnessing is really just part of… Continue reading God and Global Warming

Persecution

Nate

Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. - 1 Tim 3:12 Recently, we were discussing this passage in a bible class, and it caused me to think more deeply about it than I really have before. I'm blessed to live in America, where people have been free to… Continue reading Persecution

A Man After God’s Own Heart

Nate

In Acts 13:22 we see that David is referred to as a man after God's own heart. What a statement! For God to say that about a man is truly amazing. Before David came on the scene, Saul served as the first king over Israel. But because of two instances in particular, God rejected Saul… Continue reading A Man After God’s Own Heart

Accidental Christians

Nate

That's a phrase I've been thinking about a lot lately. I've really started to realize that on the most basic level, serving God is all about attitude. I mean, I've known that that's important; Christ said that not only is murder wrong, but hatred is too. Not only is it wrong to commit adultery, but… Continue reading Accidental Christians
