If you haven’t heard of Dr. Michael Heiser, or his Naked Bible Podcast, then I’d urge you to correct that. đ Dr. Heiser is an expert in ancient languages. I’ve always heard that we need to read the Bible in context, he points out that we need to read it out in proper context which…
On that day…
Last updated on November 18th, 2020 at 11:01 am I’ve been a little hesitant to post this as I take scripture seriously and approach it with respect. However, this just came out of my mouth the other day while having a conversation, and it keeps coming back to me. I personally make a point of…
Getting Away for a Bit
Maintaining our health involves more than exercising or making the right food choices. While both of those contribute to our physical and mental well-being, they’re not enough. Sometimes we need a break. I personally think that’s more important currently than ever before. We took a little break, but not many photos. Even so, I thought…
The Sin of Achan
I’ve been reading through the book of Joshua recently. Normally when I read Old Testament events regarding Israel, I don’t necessarily feel like they have a direct application today. Am I wrong? Maybe. I do think they are insightful into God’s character and valuable to understanding our faith. Chapter 7 of Joshua hit me differently.…

I’m at a complete and total loss.

The Provost and Sr. VP of Southern Seminary, an institution of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), claims…

The more we dug in, the more we learned this one instance is only a part of a much larger movement with many tendrils reaching far beyond what we could…
and We Wonder Why We Lose Them
I have 2 teens. I was telling them about this https://bereanresearch.org/lifeways-blasphemous-new-gen-z-bible-devo/ After I said the phrase Gen Z Bible Devo, they looked puzzled and asked what is devo? I told them it is short for devotional. Then I read this line: Since Day Uno there was Cap G. Big J was chillin with Cap G. And…
Where is Our Delight?
Man, this is so true. For my believing family, who hasn’t experienced ups and downs in closeness to the LORD and who hasn’t experienced the unmatched joy of life when every aspect of your life is dedicated to his service. Psalms 37:4 Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of…
