Today is the second anniversary of the most deadly and demonic attack against the Jewish people since the holocaust. My emotions are running high since the Trump administration announced its twenty-one-point plan. My emotions are high because of the amount of Jew hatred and Biblical denial that I have seen among professing Christians on social... Continue Reading →
This morning I shared the following on social media:Cain killed Abel because he didn't rule over the sin that was at his door (Gen. 4:1-8). Today is the anniversary of 9/11, it is the day after Charlie Kirk was assassinated. I saw a comment on a friend's post that said, while violence should never be... Continue Reading →
As I read Exodus today, a thought came to me: the commands of Scripture serve two purposes. They bring us close to God. 2. They keep us away from the idolatry of the world. Before we go to the portion of Exodus that brought that thought, let's look at what is hopefully a familiar passage... Continue Reading →
I realized today that there are many gimmicks used in the church and other ministries to encourage people to give. Many ministries even use levels of giving; the more you give, the greater the gift you get back. And if we can't be convinced to give for a gift, we will then be guilted in... Continue Reading →
"He (Jesus) saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is...

There is a path that man sets for you, and there is the path God has planned for you from your mother's womb. When God called Jeremiah, He said, "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee," and a conversation and a calling followed: Jeremiah 1:4-19 KJV "Then the word of the Lord... Continue Reading →
Today, we remember when the Nazis surrendered. Hitler may have surrendered, but the devil never did. Unfortunately, the same demonic ideology that drove the Nazis is still alive in the world today. In America, Jewish students are harassed on college campuses, and anti-Israel protests always include violence against Jewish students and vandalism of school property.... Continue Reading →
When Martin Luther stood before the council of the church, he expected to be heard, but instead, he was told there would be no discussion; he had to recant or be condemned. He asked for a day to think about it, came back the next day, and said unless Scripture convinced him, he couldn't recant.... Continue Reading →
October 7, 2023, was Simchat Torah, the day Jews were supposed to be rejoicing in the Torah, but instead, they were hiding in bomb shelters, ditches, and fields, being tortured, kidnapped, and killed by terrorists. That day changed every Jewish person in the world; that day did not begin a conflict; it was the continuation... Continue Reading →
Israel honors the memories of the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust beginning tonight at sunset, and Jews all over the world join them in that remembrance. I am not Jewish, but I choose to acknowledge this day as well as International Holocaust Remembrance Day because each day represents two events during this unspeakable... Continue Reading →
Hebrews 12:1-2 CSB "Therefore, since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every hindrance and the sin that so easily ensnares us. Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us, 2 keeping our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. For the... Continue Reading →
Abraham the Hebrew was one who crossed over, and Israel has continued to cross over. As believers in Yeshua, we have crossed over from death to life, from cursing to blessing, and from sadness to joy. Genesis 12:1-7 ESV "Now the Lord said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's... Continue Reading →
1938 wasn't all that long ago. World War II lasted from 1939-1945, but as you can see, there was a lead-up to the war. November 9, 1938, is known as the night of the broken glass. On this evil night, German Jews were targeted. The Nazis attacked the shops, synagogues, schools, and homes; glass was... Continue Reading →
Several days into my ninety-day Bible plan, I realized I was reading slowly and thinking about the text, so I decided to disregard the schedule and take my time. That said, if you would like to follow more of my day-to-day thoughts, you can do so on Instagram. It has been twenty-one days, and I... Continue Reading →
Social media can be a blessing and a distraction in life. We all know this to be true. So I won't be talking about our social media usage but how Bible teachers, pastors, and other ministers rightly use social media and how they can be snared by it. As a Bible teacher and blogger, I...
