An Urgent Message About Division
Last Sunday morning in our message about Abraham riding in to save Lot, like an old William Wallace on a camel, I mentioned how Abraham brought rescue and redemption by setting the captives free. I then showed how it all relates to our Great God coming to rescue...
Child Salvation
I would like to know if you believe that young children (like age 4) can be brought to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ? What are your thoughts on it? My family and I are currently attending a church that believes that it is very rare and that it is too hard to...
Justifiable Propitiation
Yesterday was our Mom's Day Off event and I was helping out at it; it was at my house so I didn't really have a choice. One of the guys in the Gospel Community who put on the event asked me a question about a recent message I gave. In the message I had a long...
How does loving somebody actually make them beautiful?
The wording of the question is out of order because it is not simply loving someone that makes them beautiful, it is HOW you love them. In our culture we have turned love into an emotion, it is about how we feel. This is why people use terms like "fall in love" or...

THE 99%, A CHRISTMAS TALE
I am part of the 99%...but what do I mean by that? I mean I have a Christmas Tree: it is plastic, came in a box, had lights already hung on it, and doesn't smell like anything except dog slobber (after years of use). I also have some presents under my tree,...
PECCAWHATWHOZIT – Part II
Last week we looked at the question: Could Jesus have sinned? (give in to temptations). The long winded discussions that actually wrestle with this question of "was Jesus able to sin?" is called, "peccability" (or impeccability), from the Latin meaning "sin."...
PECCAWHATWHOZIT – Part I
I was recently asked a question by a friend of mine that I thought would be good for all of you budding scholars of theology. It is one that people have asked for ages… Could Jesus have sinned? (give in to temptations) Most people just say "no" and leave it at that...
