Who is Christ?: Christology, The Study of Christ

Of the religions in the world, I would even say of all the persons that have ever existed throughout world history there has been no one more recognized or well-known than Jesus Christ. This is not just my opinion, I sought the input of AI, (artificial intelligence-Microsoft Copilot), and this is the response that I received; “The most widely recognized person in all of human history is Jesus Christ, based on global name recognition, historical influence, and frequency of references across centuries.”

Joshua and the Conquest of the Promised Land

If the Book of Joshua was ever made into a big budget movie, and if it remained faithful to the Bible, it would be a spectacular hit. It would be classified as an action adventure and military drama. Joshua would be greatly admired as the charismatic hero who is a courageous and fearless warrior but is also of noble and righteous character. His greatest attribute was that he was loyal to God and devoted to defending God's honor.

Deception, Division, and Disorder: (Truth Series Part III)

What happens when there is so much deception in the world that truth can no longer be distinguished from lies?

Seeking God in Times of Calamity

Tragedies such as both World Wars, the Great Plague of the 14th century, the great Irish Famine, the Indonesian tsunami of 2004, the 911 attack, and Covid 19 brought people to their knees in grief. Many of these calamities reminded people that mankind is not in control of natural disasters and therefore hope can only be found in a power greater than man's ingenuity and capabilities.

Understanding the Book of Psalms

The psalms are a book about God in relation to His people and it differs from the other books of the Bible because the verses in this book are not just God's words to man, they are also man's words to God. The message of Psalm 1 is that when God extends blessings on a believer, He is pronouncing His favor and His approval of that person. It is through faith and faithfulness that brings a person into God's favor.

Reading the Bible: The Visions of Heaven

Every person finds the concept of heaven fascinating, whether they are believers or not. The idea of an afterlife is found in most of the religious beliefs of the world. It is as if the concept of a blissful afterlife is hard wired in humans. I believe it is because the perception of heaven, or an afterlife of eternal bliss has been placed in the spirit of mankind as a means to offer hope in a harsh and chaotic world.

Introduction to the Doctrine of the Holy Spirit

These same words could be preached today, and they would be just as true as they were 180 years ago. What was needed then, is the same thing that is needed now--A robust teaching on the Doctrine of the Holy Spirit. As Rev. McCheyne proclaimed in his sermon, "if ever you are to be saved, you must know Him." He also informs us that the Holy Spirit comes into our hearts to make us love God and hate sin.
