From time to time I read articles written by Christians that really confuse me. I get these American Family Association (AFA) reports via email pretty regularly. I look at the latest headlines in BP News and other news organizations run by Christians. There are always articles and write-ups asking the body of Christ to write [...]
The Parable of the Marriage Feast is the next KoH parable that Matthew records. It can be found in Matthew chapter 22 verses 1-14. This parable seems similar to the previous parable because it reflects the Jew/Gentile relationship to salvation.
Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to [...]
The other day I witnessed a Church gathering. It was one of those normal, Sunday morning gatherings where believers (and some non-believers) gather together in a common building to hear one guy speak. This is often referred to a “Sunday Morning Worship.” The guy speaking is usually referred to as the “Pastor” or “Preacher.” Before [...]

Thanks for the comment. I assume the “unpardonable sin” you are referring to comes from
“Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin” - Mark 3:28-29

To me this question has major implications for our free-will. I am one of those people who have a hard time believing that we have free-will. Based on how I [...]
Hey everyone! I was a little busy this weekend, so I did not really have the time to write up any new posts. However I recently read a post that I thought was really thought provoking.
Gary Harris wrote a very thought provoking post called “How High is Evangelism on your Priority List?” Here he poses [...]
Every Wednesday night we are discussing Christology (the Study of Christ). This past Wednesday night we were discussing his ascension to Heaven. During this discussion someone brought up Hebrews 8:1 and the fact that Jesus is seated at the right hand of God. I have heard (on more than one occasion) that the fact that [...]
“Objective consideration of contemporary phenomena compels the conclusion that success or failure in competitive activities exhibits no tendency to be commensurate with innate capacity, but that a considerable element of the unpredictable must invariably be taken into account.” - Ecclesiastes 9:11
The other night I was listening to the radio and I happened upon a talk [...]
The next parable in this series is the Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16). I have linked to the parable for those of you who are not familiar with it. For those of you who are, I will summarize it for you. The parable is about a landowner who hires some laborers [...]
Alan Knox over at The Assembling of the Church tagged me. There is an unwritten rule that say that if you have been tagged you must follow through. As a good Christian I am going to submit to the authority of that unwritten rule.
