Two Throne Room Scenes Matthew shares in his gospel two unorthodox “throne room” scenes. Both involving an identity question, Jews, Gentiles, bowing, and three “gifts”.

God’s Promises, Presence, and Shoes? There is very little more down to earth, than shoes. Literally, because shoes are literally down on the earth!

Hell Is Not Our Home Hell can never be home for lost people because it was created for Satan and his angels (Matthew 25:41), not for us. When a person is saved, they get to go home to be with God since God created us to be together with Him – we dwell with God […]

The Beatitudes Backwards and Forwards Being persecuted for the sake of righteousness (Matthew5:10-12) will make you pursue peace ‐ but which kind? 1. Peace from the persecutors? Becoming weary can do this. 2. Peace from Jesus who likewise was persecuted? Becoming more like Jesus ends our emotional weariness and gives us strength. But only when […]

A totem pole here in Alaska had a surprising depiction – a bearded man with a cross on his cloak carrying a rifle. It was explained to me that totems were historical records. The rifle-wielding man was Russian Orthodox, here in Alaska to convert the Natives. The irony is, I too am here to evangelize. […]

I heard an argument that because of the “curse” in Genesis 3, it is possible that post-creation there are more than two genders or sexes. Here’s the number one argument against that – Jesus, when answering a question thousands of years after sin entered the world, applied a pre-curse statement from scripture to cover […]

The Golden Rule Doesn’t Mean What We Think “Therefore, whatever you want others to do for you, do also the same for them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” (CSB’17 Matthew 7:12) I am horrible at buying gifts. Part of that inadequacy is me not paying enough attention to get to know others. […]
