Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
I wish I could say that I was one of those smart kids who always loved history. Yet, in one sense, I guess that I did—although perhaps without realizing it. I was always enthralled with old black-and-white television shows that whisked me to an earlier time that seemed both simpler and, yet, exhilarating. I found […]

A couple of years before the onset of the COVID carnage, two people I knew from my school days were met with untimely demises. If I had been pitted against them in terms of physical fitness, they would have been way ahead of me; in the eyes of many casual observers, I was the least […]

In my previous article, Tribulation Saints: Unborn-Again Sheep, we allowed our hearts to consider those who would call upon the name of Jesus during the tribulation as our someday family. In doing so, they become real, living, breathing people to us rather than a group we safely call from a distance “the left behind.” Once […]

(There is a special message at the end of this article for those who might happen to read this and do not have Jesus in their life and are looking for peace and a way to better understand the present-day insanity and confusion.) Let me begin by making it clear that this commentary is written […]

I’m reading VanGemeren’s commentary about Psalms. He says that Psalm 37 is an alphabetic acrostic organized in 22 strophes, which seems not to follow a logical progression of thought. I wonder what verses compose each strophe.
Bullseye! Just a few days ago, while driving home from the grocery store, out of nowhere, a rock came flying out the back of a work truck that was in front of me, and the impact left a small knick ‘smack dab in the middle’ of my car’s windshield! Even though I was flustered, I […]

In 539 BC, Daniel the prophet was still in Babylon and was reading the prophecy of Jeremiah regarding the 70-year captivity. Realizing the 70 years were nearing completion, Daniel began to pray, asking God’s forgiveness for the sins of his people and pleading for the restoration of Jerusalem and Israel’s imminent return to their land. […]

Can someone either post themselves or give me a link to a somewhat detailed comparison between Psalms and Proverbs where fairly word for word parallels are found?
I am looking for all the instances where the author of a Proverb cites a Psa…
Florida Republican governor Ron DeSantis declared an emergency over Hurricane Ian. Amidst evacuation and contingency plans, DeSantis had to deal with another distraction by Joe Biden and the federal government—COVID vaccinations. Biden said that “A vital part for preparing for hurricane season is to get vaccinated now. Everything is more complicated if you’re not vaccinated […]

Introduction As we go through the Olivet Discourse, as found in the synoptic gospels, we want to – as best we can – dissect the information given, offer Biblical and practical observations concerning each presentation, present some corroborating Scripture, and seek to better understand how our Lord structured His discourse and what each gospel writer […]

Matthew 4:19 says: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men!
And, indeed Peter becomes a good fisher of people once that, in Acts 2:41, it is written: "and about three thousand were added to their number that day."
I was…
