Therefore devotion, allegiance, and/or obedience to any other political entity is a provocation unto jealousy against Him.

I’m fascinated by what appears to be a renaissance in Biblical hermeneutics that has been semi-quitely underway for the last generation or so. Most of the activity has been limited to academic circles, but facets of it have begun emerging in more lay-level websites such as BibleProject, AlephBeta, and the Theopolis Institute. There are a…

A better title might have been, “The Never-To-Be Finished Work of Christ.” I glory in “the finished work of Christ” and the fact that “the cross was enough” as much as any Evangelical. Yet, like any truth, removed from their proper context those statements can become not only fallacious and harmful but indeed heretical. At…

As I taught my sons from the time they were young, “God’s greatest present is His Presence.” That is The Main Thing. Ezekiel closes his book by revealing the glorious name of the glorious city he just spent nine chapters describing: “Yahveh-is-There.” The last two chapters of the Christian canon likewise confirm that what makes…

It is hard for the rich and powerful to find true love. The question will always be: do they love me for me or just for my stuff? God is the Ultimate rich and powerful Being and so He faces this problem to a degree immeasurably beyond any human tycoon or royalty figure. Ezekiel 16…

the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. … and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?” Revelation 13:3-4 provides two descriptions of the actions of the earth-dwellers with respect to the beast: (1) they worship it, and (2) they say words that show their…
