Faithful Writers

Connected to this point is the huge misunderstanding that God made a separate covenant for the salvation of the Gentiles. I’m sorry to say this, but NO SUCH covenant exists

These genealogies stand as an objective and enduring testimony to God’s faithfulness to preserve His chosen nation, Israel. And the great news is that you too, can become one with Israel through faith in the Messiah.

I am adamant in my insistence that God for His own good reasons and purposes has chosen to save ONLY ONE group of people on this planet, and that group is the Jews and those Gentiles who join themselves to the Jews by accepting His new covenant through the shed blood of Messiah Yeshua.

But, as time passed, men from the line of Seth began to lust after the beautiful women from the line of Cain, resulting in a polluted race that the Lord could not and would not tolerate. This resulted in God sending the great flood to destroy this unholy offspring.

We all have friends who operate between the hours of 8 and 5. But will they be there on moving weekend? Or drive to pick you up if your car breaks down? Are they available 24/7? This is why so many people feel lonely at church. Like-minded people surround them. But none of them are friends.

I couldn’t skirt around it, I couldn’t “back burner” it any longer. Once faced with it, it wasn’t going anywhere. The Holy Spirit made sure of that, I was being convicted to make a choice.

Notice something interesting in this scathing indictment the Lord has just pronounced. He holds man responsible. He never blames Satan for this sorry state of affairs.

The Bible isn’t dead ink. Not because the pages themselves are like a magic potion. But because they have the ability to inspire the reader to living a wise life. There are lines in Scripture I’ve read a hundred times. But then one day, in the middle of a mess, or a moment of quiet, or a hard conversation with God, I’ll read that same line again — and it lands different. It breathes.

How I went from begging for answers to noticing the grace that was there all along

However, the four dimensions are only characteristics that govern OUR universe. The sphere of heaven, where God resides, operates under a totally different set of physical laws and principles…

Maybe I’m a super weirdo, but in my late teens and early twenties, I was obsessed with why modernity developed ONLY in the West — in Europe and North America and nowhere else. Nowhere else did science and democracy arise…

Thinking that just walking down an aisle and mouthing some canned salvation prayer is the be all and end all of your faith walk is I believe a gross error. It is just the beginning. God has great plans for your life but YOU HAVE TO TAKE ACTION in order to translate those plans into reality.

When the Psalmist wrote, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,” he didn’t say that they’re hard to find, specific steps.” There’s wiggle room. There’s grace. There’s space to learn as you go. God doesn’t yank the rug out every time you hesitate.

Notice that in both cases, the ark is the divine means of escape God has prepared for His chosen people. In Genesis, mankind was to be destroyed by a flood of water.

Turns out, the most unexpected place to grow your faith is on a classroom floor with a glue stick in one hand and someone’s lost tooth in the other.

In Biblical numerology, the number 8 stands for redemption and will remain so throughout the entirety of Scripture. Another point is that both humans and animals are represented by one male and one female.

However, at this stage in human history, God had not yet permitted man to eat meat. Per God’s command, food at this stage was only green plants. Notice also that only the unclean animals are to be brought in single pairs.

The kitchen that held so many Jesus jam sessions and dance parties with her roommate. So many conversations and tears where the two had talked about their dreams, futures, and curiosities about where God would take them.

The simple truth of the matter is that the ancient Hebrews did NOT believe they could work their way into heaven. They completely understood that righteousness and salvation had to be a free gift from God.

I keep seeing this argument pop up, and I find it both obnoxious and very ignorant. The argument is that Mary wasn’t actually a virgin, and

It is important to not confuse God’s judgment of the world with the tribulation. The tribulation is evil men hurting innocent believers. God’s judgement comes afterwards.

The Church calls Christ its bridegroom… but what happens when the bride starts walking away? Behind closed doors, division is growing, pride is taking root, and God’s Word is being ignored. We’re watching a spiritual divorce unfold — and it’s happening in plain sight.

Notice also that God did not just remember Noah but his remembrance also extended to the creatures in the ark. Never forget that although man has been created above the animals, God still loves all of His creation.

They slapped religion on their thrones, not because they loved God, but because it kept the people in line. Faith became their favorite leash. And sadly, America is still repeating it.
