The Difference Between Hades and Hell

There is a difference between hades and hell. Though knowing the difference may be of little significance in the grand scheme of things, still it’s in the scriptures and may be of interest to some. We’ll look at a few scriptures and find the difference. “If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck itContinue reading “The Difference Between Hades and Hell”

Magog, Russia and Assyrian Archaeology

Like most, I was taught that Russia was associated with Magog in Ezekiel 38/39. That never felt right deep inside, and I only gave cursory thought to the possibility of Russia being the leader of the invasion. I’m not saying that Russia isn’t involved, only that it’s the leader. I recently came across an articleContinue reading “Magog, Russia and Assyrian Archaeology”

Who Are The Nephilim?

They abandoned their faith. With the exception of Noah, those of his generation abandoned the faith handed down to them through Adam and the others mentioned in Genesis chapter five. Noah became the last of the Godly line. “Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that everyContinue reading “Who Are The Nephilim?”

Evolution Conundrums

In this lesson, I want to go over some scientific difficulties the evolutionist community would prefer the world not know. Evolution is one of the greatest hoaxes believed. True science continually shuts down any valid arguments. It’s vital that the Christian understand, when discussing evolution with someone, the difference between faith and science. Recognizing theContinue reading “Evolution Conundrums”

Taxes And Socialism

Lately I’ve been hearing, in the defense of socialism, that we pay taxes that go for the common good for such things as police, fire, and national defense. We’ll, the socialist may use taxes for their goals, but so do all governments. Taxes aren’t new with socialism. From the earliest dates known, taxes have beenContinue reading “Taxes And Socialism”

Greater On The Inside

How many times have we felt we need more resources, skill, wisdom, and power in our lives? Usually, we look to others for prayer, or comfort, or to fill a need. I’m all for helping one another. We need each other, especially as times become more dangerous for believers. But there is a limit toContinue reading “Greater On The Inside”

Guilt Has Been Weaponized In Our Culture

“Guilt has been weaponized in our culture,” Jordon Peterson. I heard Jordon say this in a sit down talk with Ben Shapiro. How true this statement is, and something to keep in the forefront of our minds. Everyday we will have to deal with someone trying to use guilt to manipulate us to accomplish theirContinue reading “Guilt Has Been Weaponized In Our Culture”

The First Christmas

(ESV) “Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said,‘Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body have you prepared for me; in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure.’Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God, as it is written of me in theContinue reading “The First Christmas”

Why Is There A Great Tribulation?

Most in the Christian community has heard of the “great tribulation” that Jesus spoke of in Matthew chapter twenty-four. But why should there be one anyway? Why not just “end it” and let it be? Why the pain and heartache of a tribulation? Let’s consider seedtime and harvest. Seedtime and Harvest “Do not be deceived,Continue reading “Why Is There A Great Tribulation?”
