Before Jesus teaches the Lord’s Prayer, He warns us how not to pray. This look at His words reveals why sincerity matters – not just for us, but for the people we love.
What began as a simple question about free will turned into a rich AI conversation about God’s character, human choice, and the stories we tell about salvation. This post sets the stage for a deeper series exploring these themes.
Before Jesus died on Good Friday, many tried to kill Him — and every attempt failed. This piece walks through the passages in order, letting Scripture reveal how the timing of His death was never in human hands but held by God’s long‑promised plan. Read slowly, let the story build, and notice what becomes clear only when you see it all together.
I’ve published a new piece on Which God Can Save? about the tension between America’s constitutional commitments on religion and the recent reports of military leaders framing the conflict with Iran as part of “God’s plan.” It’s the starting point for a series that will look more closely at how government power and religious belief get tangled—and why that matters for faith itself.
What is the book of Revelation in the Bible? Sounds like a weird question. Everyone knows what it is, don’t they? But how many of you have read and really figured out the opening sections: the Prologue and the Greeting? For that matter, how many realize there’s no “s” on the end of Revelation? It’s one revelation, not a whole bunch of them.
The Book of Revelation, often misunderstood, is an unveiling of divine truths rather than a mere foretelling of apocalyptic events. It opens with a prologue and greeting that emphasize the importance of truly reading and understanding its contents, as well as clarifying common misconceptions.
This article explores how early‑church apostles carried unique authority—and why that role no longer exists today. Yet every believer still carries real spiritual influence. Through the Great Commission, the warnings in James, and Jesus’ call to be salt and light, we discover how modern Christians function as teachers in everyday life, even without the title “apostle.”
We often feel like God’s justice and love pull in opposite directions. But the ancient stories — from Eden to David to the Flood — reveal something far more integrated. This piece explores how justice and love have always worked together, and why that still matters for us today.
We hear the word “apostle” often, but the early church didn’t use it casually. They understood it, tested it, and guarded it. This article looks at what the word meant in their world — and why recovering that meaning brings clarity to ours.
Revelation 2:2 is only half of a sentence, but it’s packed with thoughts that require spiritual discernment. Jesus praises the Ephesian church for doing four things modern believers don’t often think about: testing apostles.
Eden wasn’t just the first sin — it was the moment everything changed. In this opening chapter of On This Rock, you’re invited into the Commander’s story, where a single deception sets the stage for a revolution of justice, love, and restoration. Step inside the narrative and see the Eden Incident in a way you may never have considered before.
