Christmas is still a time of hope and joy

When the son of a friend of mine was quite young, he thought he had been told that Christmas was about the Baby Cheeses.  Only when he was older did he finally understand that it was about the Baby Jesus. Even knowing that, one cannot but suspect most people in the world, while enjoying the… Continue reading Christmas is still a time of hope and joy

The Day the British Press Lost its Mind

On the front page of nearly every paper in the UK were headlines like this one: ‘Suicide bomber was a Christian convert.’  The impression every paper wanted to give the public was obvious: it’s not only the Muslims who blow up people.  The Christians are at it too.

When does being free necessarily mean rejecting governmental authority?

At face value, the plain teaching of Scripture is that we should obey those in authority over us.  For example, the Apostle Paul wrote this to the Christians who lived in Rome, the most powerful empire the world had ever known: “Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except… Continue reading When does being free necessarily mean rejecting governmental authority?

The lives of holy ones were found in her

As I have written before, the United States of America and other Western nations are behaving more and more like the description of the prophetic Babylon the Great in the Book of Revelation, chapters 17 and 18.

What the three principal enemies of the Gospel really want

The Good News of Jesus Christ is not received warmly, for it implies that believers limit their power of action by self-regulation in order to do what is right and avoid what is wrong, or unjust.  This moral self-regulation is purposeful, in order that love between human beings may not be just a dream but… Continue reading What the three principal enemies of the Gospel really want

The Veiled Reality

Out of a world population of 7.9 billion people on Earth, around 31% or 2.5 billion are Christians.  Christians are found in every continent in great numbers, in some cases the majority. Although the Muslim world has less people, around 1.9 billion people, their rate of natural increase is faster, although this does not take… Continue reading The Veiled Reality
