In Revelation, we're introduced to 'mother of prostitutes,' often referred to as the 'whore of Babylon.' Let's focus on the big picture of John's description, and what we must know, allowing that to g...
On the surface, the Tower of Babel story seems like a power struggle between God and humanity. But when you look at the literary and cultural context, another picture emerges....

Happy New Year!This probably seems like an odd thing to write, given we have barely cracked the opening of December. Wouldn’t such a proclamation be more appropriate next month? Why declare the beginn...

It’s not easy to imagine Jesus as the “Lamb of God.” But the name gives an important clue to what Jesus would do....

In times of darkness and utter moral decay, the greatest hope and encouragement God’s people can have is knowing that the second Adam has faithfully kept the covenant that we never could, and cl...

One of the things mentioned in the book of Revelation is the seven trumpets. What we want to look at today is what are the seven trumpets in Revelation? It is probably not possible to give you a full,...

My aim here is to outline what the Scripture tells us about the different types of angels and to go no further into speculation. It is an important topic. And I believe angels still act in our world t...

Jesus, to defeat death, laid down His life, willingly, not for “good” people, but for all who could never measure up to the bar of “righteousness” that would grant us access to God the Father. Jesus i...
The spotlight is not on Joshua’s moral example or on timeless principles of conduct but on Yahweh’s fulfillment of a historical promise. Even Joshua’s name (“Yahweh Saves!”) points away from himself t...
When we come to the end of the Old Testament, we have no answer to the question of how all these things will be resolved. The resolution is brought about by means of the greatest plot twist in the his...

Light is one of the many symbols of Christmas. Whether we light candles or place lights on a Christmas tree, glowing lights have a special place in our hearts during the holiday season. For Christ-fol...

How did otherwise faithful Christians who read and revered the Bible attempt to reconcile the gospel with owning enslaved people? And how was I to think of Lottie Moon now that I know she wasn’t a per...

The term preterism is used to describe the understanding of certain eschatological passages in the Bible. It is derived from the Latin word preter which means “past.” The study of preterism is centere...

What does God look like? Perhaps, following the psalmist, we turn to poetry and hymnody to answer. When you know your sins are forgiven, and the God of all Creation is your own Father, God looks like ...
The best way to "keep watch" as Jesus commanded is to know what God has revealed and to attempt a biblical understanding of events. Just bear in mind that not all end-times opinions are facts....

The gospel is present in Joshua in that it is part of God’s story of redemption. He puts His people into the land in which He promised to give them. God is faithful to His promises. But this is only a...

Gideon’s defeat of Midian is instructive for our lives of faith. While we may never have to face a rival army, the story reveals how God uses us to fulfill God’s purposes in the world. Despite obstacl...

Does lack of excitement mean that we lack passion for God? Or does lack of enthusiasm mean our passion for Christ is gone? Not at all. Many would define passion today as a barely controllable emotio...

The thought of God entering the world as an infant is staggering. But that was only the beginning. Jesus’s mission always included the cross (1 Peter 1:18-20). The baby in the manger was the lamb of G...

Are they only to remain at a distance – maybe even invisible to us – until an appointed time set by God? Or can we talk with angels any time we want, able to call them down from heaven to speak with a...
