A quick Biblical Point

“We are only guaranteed our last heartbeat.”

No one is promised tomorrow. This piece explores why the certainty of death should push us toward the certainty of Christ, not fear.

The power of the pulpit should come from the Lord and not from the charisma of the pastor.

Pulpit power isn't pastoral charisma - it's the Holy Spirit working through preached truth to convict, convert, and sanctify hearts.

Life is short and death is eternal.

Life passes quickly, but death opens onto eternity forever fixed. This piece considers what that means for how we live now.

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

Voltaire's warning still stands: false belief always precedes cruelty, and only truth in Christ can guard the heart from both.

Swimming Against the Current: The Mark of Spiritual Life

A dead fish floats downstream with no resistance - a living faith swims against the culture's current, straining toward Christ every day.

“If you think one political party is right and the other party is evil, the problem with our politics is you.“

Tribal politics reveals a heart problem Scripture names as pride and idolatry-not which party you back, but who you worship.

“It is not wrong to have such an intimate relationship with God that you even pray for a parking spot.”

God welcomes the small requests, not just the big ones. Intimacy with Him means bringing every detail, even a parking spot.

There is nothing “beyond Religion.” Creation is the beginning, and eternity waits at the end.

No one steps outside God's story. From creation to eternity, every worldview answers to the same Author.

If Unbelievers are right, oh well. If Biblical Christians are right, OH NO! Today is the day of Salvation (2 Cor. 6:2).  

Unbelief risks everything on a coin flip; Biblical faith rests on Christ's finished work. Today is still the day of grace.

Science asks more questions over time than it answers. God answers it all.

Science keeps generating fresh mysteries with each new discovery, but only God offers complete, certain, and eternal answers to every question.

Prayer is the greatest expression of faith because it takes our efforts offline. 

Prayer proves we've stopped relying on our own strength and started trusting God with what we cannot control ourselves at all.

Many who go down the road of “deconstruction” never make the turn toward ”reconstruction”, and sadly fall off the edge.

Deconstructing faith without rebuilding on Christ leaves people spiritually homeless, exposed to doubt, despair, and unbelief.

Tears wiped away in Heaven (Rev. 21:4) will be partly due to how we squandered the power of prayer on earth.

Heaven's tears may trace to prayers we left unprayed. This quote confronts how lightly we treat intercession's real power.

Sometimes God answers our prayers by not answering our requests.

God sometimes answers prayer by saying no. His silence is not absence; it is often His deeper mercy at work in our lives.

Leaving a Bible believing church full of sinners just because of sin, is a sin.

Every congregation is full of sinners. Walking away from one over that fact can itself be a sin against grace.
