• What Does “GO THE EXTRA MILE” Mean?

  Christ instructed believers: “If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.” Matthew 5:41 What did the Lord mean by this? At that time, the Holy Land was under Roman control and Roman soldiers, who walked everywhere, were permitted by law to enlist non-citizens to carry their packs or equipment, but […]

• Was Jesus HOMELESS?

  Christ was a carpenter up until the age of 30; his erstwhile neighbors in Nazareth recognized him by his prior occupation (Mark 6:3 & Matthew 13:55). The Greek word for ‘carpenter’ is tektón (TEK-tohn), which refers to a craftsman, carpenter or artisan. Tektón is where we get the words tectonic and architect. In 1st Century Israel […]

• The Left’s Unbalanced View of Christ & Christianity

  In this article we’re going to look at the view of Jesus Christ that Leftwingers tend to embrace, which they use to oppose & mock believers who don’t share their perspective, meaning those who are Independents or Conservatives and, especially, those they consider Rightwing, which – to the Far Left – basically means anyone who’s […]

• Understanding “the Right” and “the Left” from a Biblical Perspective

    Solomon was the wisest man on earth in his time (1 Kings 4:29-34) and this explains why God utilized his great knowledge and wisdom in three books of the God-breathed Scriptures. Notice what it says about Solomon when the Queen of Sheba came to visit him: Now when the queen of Sheba heard about […]

• Is it Ever Okay to Call Someone a “Fool”?

    Christ said “anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell” (Matthew 5:22). Does this mean a believer can never, ever call someone a fool under any circumstances? Obviously not since the Holy Scriptures written through designated people by the Holy Spirit openly describe certain people as fools (2 […]

• How to CONFRONT & CORRECT (and How NOT to)

  Genuine believers are to be submitted to one another (Ephesians 5:21), which means we’re accountable to each other based on the morality of New Covenant Christianity and the corresponding God-breathed Scriptures (2 Timothy 3:16-17 & 1 Corinthians 4:6). The biblical book of wisdom puts it like this: “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another” (Proverbs […]

• What Are “MANDRAKES” Mentioned in the Bible?

    “Mandrakes” are cited in the Bible five times and refer to the roots of mandrake plants, which sometimes resemble naked humans, particularly the lower areas. They were used as an aphrodisiac and to induce pregnancy, as observed in this passage: 1When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she became jealous […]

• Provision, Money and “Prosperity”

  This article is a balanced biblical look at money & provision. The Bible distinguishes that poverty is a curse and prosperity is a blessing (Deuteronomy 28). Poverty is not having enough to make it while prosperity is the opposite. It’s God’s will to provide for you so that you can effectively fulfill your assignment & […]

• ACCOUNTABILITY — the Good, the Bad and the Eye-Rolling

  Accountability refers to the fact or condition of being accountable. All believers are ultimately accountable to God and will thus stand before Christ at the Judgment Seat to give an account of what we did in the body, whether good or bad (2 Corinthians 5:10-11). Even unbelievers are accountable to their Creator and will thus […]

• Understanding the Fear of the LORD

  The “fear of the LORD” isn’t talked about much in Christian circles today, including sermons. Why? Likely because the Mighty LORD has been essentially reduced to a cuddly teddy bear in the sky or perhaps a genial genie. The idea that the Almighty Sovereign God — the Creator of all things in Heaven, Earth & […]
