  • The Second Coming - The Ten Virgins2024-03-18T08:43:34

    The parable of the 10 Virgins in Matthew 25 is often made to seem more difficult than it has to be. When considered in the context of Matthew 24, it represents the second possible attitude toward Messiah's seeming delay in coming.

    On the surface God's laws might appear simply to be organizing principles for a decent society. They certainly are that, but they are also His means for changing His children into the image of Christ. The principle here is, 'As you behave, so you become.' If one simply reads Scripture out of fear of punishment, he misses a great wealth of character changing information.

  • The Church as Beachhead2024-03-15T09:07:18

    Media File

    In the Gospels, Y'shua twice sent His disciples out ahead of himself to, "Heal the sick, cast our demons and announce that His Kingdom was at hand." In other words, they were to establish a beachhead in enemy territory. That was also the mission of the church after His resurrection. The church today has largely lost sight of that mission. It has been expelled from politics and has ceased to be an authority on cultural issues. As the church has faded, Satan has advanced. How should we act to regain the ground we have lost?


  • 1 Peter 4, The Fiery Trial2024-03-14T09:04:03

    The world is a difficult place in which there are trials and suffering. When the trials are for the sake of your faith, you share in Christ's suffering. This is far better than suffering because you deserve it.

  • Mussar 05 - Generosity2024-03-13T08:22:53

    Biblical generosity is giving from the heart. It is not the commanded giving of tithes. Being in the image of God, we should have open, giving hearts.

  • Esther 3 - Where Did Haman Come from?2024-03-12T09:20:59

    The coup attempt prompted Aẖashverosh to completely revamp his court and severely restrict access to himself. Haman, who became the gatekeeper, was not mentioned in the great feast of chapter 1. The fact that he was an Amelikite, the eternal enemy of the Hebrews, is significant. Once can view his decision to destroy all Jews as payback for what Saul did to Amelik.

  • The Second Coming - No One Knows the Day or the Hour2024-03-11T10:07:14

    The idea that no one knows the day or the hour of Messiah's return may not mean what most people think it means.

  • Law and Love - The Importance of Emphasis2024-03-10T14:27:39

    Media File

    The United States was founded and built by Christians. While the scaffolding of our society (consent of the governed, freedom of conscience, etc.) is Biblical, secularists increasingly reject Biblical morals. This stems from a Christian emphasis on rules and doctrine at the expense of love. In a sense that was Christ's criticism of the Ephesian church.

  • Missing God's Love2024-03-08T07:58:56

    Media File

    Much Christian teaching is in terms of salvation, grace and law. While each of those subjects is important, they cause us to miss or neglect understanding that God, first of all, loves people. Grace, law and salvation all deal with punishment - or more accurately the avoidance of punishment. Such a focus misses the warmth of the relationship that is possible when we focus on love.


  • 1 Peter 3 The Eyes of the Lord2024-03-07T08:22:47

    Media File

    The Eyes of the Lord are watching to answer the prayers of the righteous, but ignore those of the wicked. The world is a difficult place and there will be abundant opportunities for others to mistreat you. Here Peter reminds his readers of Christ's example; having been reviled and unjustly killed, He acted to forgive and did not curse. Peter also exhorts that we should always be ready to gently explain the reason for our hope.
