We need to understand that God’s mercy does not negate the consequences of our sin in this fallen world. A person who drove their car DUI and killed someone can repent and find God’s mercy but there will still be serious consequences. Hezekiah was one of the most godly, rightous…

“In every generation, there are truths that are quietly set aside—not because they are unimportant, but because they are uncomfortable. Among these, few doctrines have suffered more neglect in the modern church than the reality of hell . . . only when we understand what we are saved from can…

In 2016, Chris Gordon published an article entitled “What The Gay Pride Movement Should Know About God’s Rainbow.” It was reposted in 2023 here. “With the redefining of the marriage institution and the rainbow as the adopted sign of accepted homosexuality, what we have are humans now turning the rainbow…

On August 24 79 AD, the eruption of Vesuvius destroyed the Roman hedonistic playgrounds of Pomepii and Herculaneum. In the ruins of Pompeii the remains of 35 brothels have been found. In both Pompeii and Herculaneum, pornographic images adorn the villas of the rich. In the July/August 2010 edition of Biblical…

Black Holes are a terrifying reality in spacetime. A Black Hole is an astronomical object with a gravitational pull so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape it. The largest known Black Hole yet detected is “Phoenix A”, a Black Hole so large that it defies description – there…

The historic doctrine of Hell is “under fire” (no pun intended) by both unbelievers and unfortunately a disturbing and increasing number of believers. Brian Recker is a self-proclaimed former evangelical pastor who walked away from his faith, church and marriage and concluded that Hell is a myth. He still claims…

There is a powerful article here entitled “The Awful Grace of God: The Civil War as Theological Warfare.” The author (Naivion) wrestles with the theological nature of the American Civil War. “The irony was that both sides appealed to the same Bible . . . Abolitionists believed all humans bore…

I remember hearing a sermon by Ernie Gruen in the mid 1980s that judgment always begins with deception. He used Romans 1:18-32 to justify his argument. Now, some four decades later, he appears to have been frighteningly correct. 2 Thessalonians 2:11 declares that God sends a powerful delusion to those…

While God’s mercy and forgiveness is unfathomable, it is not perpetually unending. Does Scripture warn that we can pass a point-of-no-return after which God’s judgment becomes inevitable? It certainly seems so. In the account of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, the angels investigate and inform Lot that God sent…
