Key PassageJesus did this to make happen what the prophet Isaiah said: “{Look at} the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the lands by the road that goes to the sea, the area past the Jordan River— Galilee, the land where non-Jewish people live. Those people live in darkness, but they have seen a great light; the light has come for those people that live in the land that is dark like a grave.”

Whenever I get into a discussion on homosexuality I almost always encounter the line, “Jesus never spoke about homosexuality.” The pro-homosexuality party uses it as a trump card, as if it utterly shows the Christian view to be inconsistent and wrong. In this article I wish to show two things: first, how even if it were true, the “Jesus never spoke about homosexuality” line utterly fails as an argument; and second, how it is completely false.
First, as an argument, “Jesus never spoke about homos..

The Parable of the Good Deplorable, by Jason Micheli
In front of a crowd of 70 (Or 140, who’s to say how big the crowd really was?) this lawyer tries to trap Jesus by turning the scriptures against him:
“Who is my neighbor?” he presses.
It’s the kind of bible question they could’ve debated for weeks.
Read one part of Leviticus and God’s policy is Israel First; your neighbor is just your fellow Jew.
Read another part of Leviticus and your neighbor includes the illegal immigrants and refugees in y..

Hindsight And Lessons Learned After 25 Years In Ministry

0 Comment

I accepted a 20-hour position in Children’s Ministry in our church. I wanted to help little people grow up to love Jesus. Twenty-five years later, I’m the one who has grown up. The church has largely been the instrument of God for my sanctification. There is always room for growth and improvement, but I am honored to have spent most of my adult life serving among kingdom-minded people who have helped to accomplish the purpose of God for my life.

When I first joined our staff, my son was in pre..

The Origin and Function of Government Under God

If you don’t like the president of the United States, remember that the One who cast the deciding ballot in his election was almighty God. Of course, God doesn’t sanction or endorse everything that the president does; neither is it the case that God turns the authority over to the president and says, “Go ahead and rule these people however you want.” Every king is subject to the laws of God and will be judged accordingly. It may be that the president is completely ungodly, but for reasons known ..

Bush Judge: Abortion Facilities May Throw Babies in Trash as It Is ‘Undue Burden’ to Require Burial

0 Comment

AUSTIN, Texas — A federal judge nominated to the bench by then-President George W. Bush issued a preliminary injunction this week against a new Texas regulation requiring that abortion facilities arrange for deceased babies to be either buried or cremated instead of being treated as medical waste, stating that the requirement places an “undue burdens on a woman’s right to seek a previability abortion.”

“It seems unlikely DSHS’S professed purpose is a valid state interest and not a pretext for r..

Putting the Brilliant, Tormented, Flawed Martin Luther on Trial – One More Time

0 Comment

Certainly, a “big idea” of this play – one of many cultural events worldwide marking the Reformation’s 500th anniversary – is that “not all heroes are infallible. Not only that, they are not heroic all the time,” said Cragin-Day (who is one of my faculty colleagues at The King’s College in New York).

The drama unfolds in a Gothic sanctuary in a limbo zone between heaven and hell.

In this new Off-Broadway play – “Martin Luther On Trial” – Lucifer requests new proceedings against the Catholic mo..

Key PassageThen the devil led Jesus to the top of a very high mountain. The devil showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world, and all the great things that are in those kingdoms. The devil said, “If you will bow down and worship me, I will give you all these things.” Jesus said to the devil, “Go away from me, Satan! It is written {in the Scriptures}, 'You must worship the Lord your God. Serve only him!'”
