Many believers—especially in our internet age—have encountered arguments online from Seventh-day Adventists or Jewish Roots groups claiming that true obedience requires worshiping only on the seventh day, from Friday night to Saturday night. And if those conversations ever made you pause and think, “Wait… are we doing this wrong?” Well, you’re not alone...  Read More

Is Anything Really Random If God Is in Charge? I’ve had people recently ask me questions along the lines of: “Science says some things are random — like particles, mutations, or even which car wreck I get into. So… does God really control everything?” That’s an honest question. But, at the end of the day, this isn’t just a science question. It’s a God questio...  Read More

But God’s Word gives a clear charge: do not hide it—declare it.   Read More

"The devil made me do it.” Maybe you’ve heard it. Maybe you’ve thought it. Maybe, in a moment of fear or darkness, you even asked: Can a Christian be possessed by a demon? It's a sobering question—and a common one in today’s world, where spiritual battles are often just beneath the surface.  Read More

One of the most well-known and influential stories in the Old Testament is the story of Gideon in Judges 6-7. Gideon was an unlikely, fearful man whom God called to lead Israel against the Midianites, a powerful enemy that had been oppressing Israel for years. At first, Gideon was paralyzed by fear—he doubted himself, he doubted God, and he constantly looked for signs and reassurance before taking action (and this was not a good thing; see my earlier blog on Not Putting Out Your Fleece). Yet, through God’s guidance, Gideon moved from fear to faith—not because of his own strength, but because he learned to trust in God’s power and obey despite his fears.  Read More

So, on more than one occasion, I've heard someone claim to be a “modern-day apostle…” But can that person be true a biblical apostle? No, They can’t be. Not by biblical standards, anyway. To answer this more fully, I want to briefly take a moment and explain some of the biblical criteria for an apostle and then give you an example of a problematic 'apostolic' movement that has gained popularity today.   Read More
