In our spiritual journeys, we often find ourselves at crossroads, faced with choices that can profoundly impact our faith. One of the most dangerous paths we can take is turning back from the freedom and grace we've found in Christ, exchanging it for old bondages or new forms of spiritual enslavement. This regression isn't just a step backward; it's a perilous descent that can lead to what we migh...

Have you ever longed for the day when you'd finally be considered an adult? As children, we often dream of the freedoms that come with growing up - driving a car, moving out on our own, or getting married. But with adulthood also comes responsibilities we hadn't anticipated.This journey from childhood to adulthood serves as a powerful metaphor for our spiritual lives. Just as cultures throughout h...

Our question this week concerns the Nephilim.  What are they?  What, if any, relevance do they have in scripture and in our lives today?  Did they die in the flood?  There is a lot there, more than meets the eye.  So, we will address these over the next couple weeks.  By my account, cultural fascination with the subject has peaked recently.  I admit mine has.  Podcasters and theologians have waded...

Our question as it reads is, what are all the names of God?  Why are there so many different names for God?  Why do most of our new translations not keep the different names?  A worthy question, and one that will take more than one post to answer.  Before we dive into the vast array of names and the perceived absence of them from modern translations, it will be helpful to establish the biblical im...

Through Abraham we see that we have generational blessings, but we are also given examples of generational curses throughout the Bible.  As men, what do we do with this information?  How do we break the curses and create the blessings?    We don’t think much about generational anything as moderns, let alone blessings and curses.  But in antiquity, and particularly in Biblical history, blessings an...
