no cherry picking
Biblical interpretation requires more than the ‘cherry picked’ quotation of isolated verses; it demands careful attention to context, literary purpose, and the unity of the canon.A text cannot be adequately understood by extracting a single statement from its surrounding argument or narrative and treating it as self-contained.Truth and proper responsible interpretation requires the reader to examine the whole passage, the…

True or False
“Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace to the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed to the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil-speaking, be put away from you,…

get off your complacency and do something
Listen closely.. this needs to be said no matter how many times you hear the stories…. listen again! Every day I walk among people who are carrying deep wounds of trauma that has not been seen, not been heard, not been given room to heal.

Sorcery and Fasting
“And he said to them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.” (Mark 9:29, Webster) First off, let me say this so everyone knows where I stand: There is no such thing other than foolishness about a ‘Daniel Fast’ or ‘miracle fasting’ or ‘fasting your way to healing’, or etc. These are damnable lies!Fasting falsely…

Red Dead Redemption, GTA, Wolves and Sheep

This is my response… well, at least a few words, as I had several hundred more. The pulpit is not for men who refuse to be corrected by Scripture and conscience in their private lives. A pastor’s…

Grace: Never for sale!
But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him. So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down…

I know somebody, who knows somebody
