Preamble
A preamble is referred to as the introduction to a subject or event. The broader thought is that the preamble encompasses the spectrum or future of what shall be told. There is purpose found in its hand; a forecast echoing from its voice, all of which declaring things to come. Scholars have long considered the […]

… meaningless …
Ecclesiastes 1:3 “What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?” Within the text, Solomon repeatedly uses this appellation to refer to himself. He has gained all that the world has to offer. He sits in the most unique seat ever offered to the mortal man. The nations bend […]

The Truth
In the few hours after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, a sudden realization struck the house of the High Priest. In a council meeting, maybe akin to a debriefing, the assessment was that the murder of Jesus was a mistake. They called it an error. They did not want to make a second one. Matthew […]

FIXED
Luke 16:26 “And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.” The obvious distinction between Heaven and Hell was on full display in the teaching of Jesus. He […]

The Jordan
The Bible bears proof that there are critical points, decisions and crossings, which attain to every life. It is apparent that the Jordan River is a showcase of a main crossing.

Plumb Line
The modern Christian thought was expressed recently when two religious leaders denounced the idea of a strict adherence to biblical doctrine. Instead they proposed an emotional response to salvation and what they called “God’s love factor.” This presents God’s love greater than any biblical narrative or interpretation of the scripture. While this philosophy is counterintuitive […]

“Garbage in, garbage out”
Within the script of Paul’s letter to Titus, whom he called “mine own son after the common faith” there is a notable nugget of understanding. Paul wrote: Titus 1:15 “Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.” […]

“through Christ”
If we put ourselves in the proper perspective, then let it be known: We can, but not without God. We are a force against the darkness of this world! But not without God. We are an army, marching toward victory – equipped with power and authority. However, it all comes from the Omnipotent King of […]

“Salvation By Emotion”
In a recent interview, a Christian commentator described salvation by quoting the words of noted historians and church fathers. His attending panel added their own anecdotal offerings supporting a version of how to be saved. Multiple stories and examples were presented to make the case for Heaven, but no one quoted the words of Jesus. […]

Stagnate Waters
Just off the coast of Dubai, engineers have built small manmade islands. They were meant to expand the water’s edge and then be sold for unseemly amounts. They did just that. However, over the years the waters in-between the islands have grown stagnate and undesirable. The reason is simple: there is no water flow. The […]
