The first king of the northern kingdom of Israel once the nation divided was named Jeroboam, and he was instrumental in causing the nation to split. That Jeroboam, sometimes referred to as Jeroboam I, had a legacy of being very evil through idolatry and disobedience...

This post will wrap up my series on what is going on with our culture for the time being, but there is far more to be said about these issues. We need to face some facts. The fact remains that our culture here in the U.S. is not Christian and is in fact quite hostile...

This week is the last in a series of posts focusing on Scriptures that a theistic evolutionist gave me, telling me they were 1) supportive of deep time and universal common descent and 2) that they were difficult for “young-earthers” to explain. We’ve looked at several...

Jehoahaz is the next king of Israel that we’ll take a look at. He was the son of King Jehu, and he took over the kingdom after his father died. Jehoahaz became king when King Joash was ruling in Judah, the same year that Joash began fixing up the temple.

Last week, I wrote about how man was given dominion over the earth, but there is a second part of the first commands given to man: to be fruitful and multiply. Most of the teachings I have heard on this issue is basically to procreate – to have lots of kids and fill...

I’ve been walking us through some Scripture references that a theistic evolutionist told me supported his beliefs in evolution and deep time and were difficult if not impossible for creationists to rectify with their position. We looked at Genesis 1:11-12 and 24 (here)...

After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:
“Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life:...
