  • Not Understanding Evil Leads to False Doctrine

    Understanding the origin and purpose of evil is essential in knowing the one true God. Not understanding that God created evil for a specific, good purpose allows for people to create false doctrines to justify their ignorance. God created evil (Isaiah 45:7) plain and simple. Evil, in the hands of God, works to complete and…

  • Was Sin and Evil God’s Intention or not?

    That evil exists in the world is fair to say, I think. So, when addressing the problem of evil, we have to ask one question: Was evil a creation intended by God or did evil enter the universe without God’s intention, created by someone or something else? First, it would be beneficial to define the…

  • ‘Ignorance of Evil’ is a Root of Christian Deception

    Evil Introduction We have been told a lie about evil. For so long, religion and society have taught us that evil was created by Satan and has invaded God’s creation against the Almighty’s will. From the very beginning, we have credited Satan with being a creator of something that changes God’s own creation for all…

  • The Worst Sin There is…

    What is the worst sin in scripture? While this may be up for debate, I believe any sin that keeps you from aionian life or the special salvation of believers would be right up there. One of these sins and the sin that the apostle Paul talks about most is SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS. Let’s look at a…

  • The Impossibility of Annihilation and Eternal Hell

    Picture it: The Almighty God creates and Satan says, “NO.” The false teaching of annihilationism teaches that God creates human beings and because of their supposed ‘free-will’ combined with Satan’s power, the human that God created to exist will be taken out of existence. God creates and that creation is rubbed out of existence by…

  • God is Responsible for Reconciling ALL that He Created

    I attended and spoke at a Concordant Conference this past weekend in Kansas City, Missouri. During the conference, two verses came up that really summarizes God’s creation and Christ’s work on the cross. These verses are Genesis 1:1 and Colossians 1:20. In a beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth. – Genesis 1:1 and…

  • Ephesians: Our Dreams vs. God’s Reality

    This is going to be an encouraging message because I want to get to a verse in Ephesians that shows just how great God is and the treasures that He has waiting for us… But first, I want to briefly set things up by going over Ephesians, chapter one. For anyone that still believes in…

  • Why does God subject us to SUFFERING, VANITY, and DISOBEDIENCE?

    Why is there so much suffering in the world? Why did Jesus have to suffer? Great questions that I think religion does a poor job of answering. 10 For it became Him, because of Whom all is, and through Whom all is, in leading many sons into glory, to perfect the Inaugurator of their salvation…

  • ‘New Creation’ or ‘Born Again?’

    How ‘trying to be like Christ’ can keep you from Truth- Why are people NOT ILLUMINATED by the evangel of the glory of Christ? Why does Christ, the Image of the invisible God, not irradiate them (2 Corinthians 4:4)? Could it be because too many Christians and religious people are focused on the flesh of…

  • God makes Lemons, Lemonade, and Every detail of the process

    The battle of good versus evil– Humanity loves a good versus evil battle. Every superhero story, movie, sports contest, and event in life has the age old battle of good and evil. The hero of the story must overcome the villain. The hero must choose good over evil. So it must be that the God…
