  • Future History

    Then I will take My hand away and you shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen. Exodus 33:23 NASB My back – By now you realize that this translation must be incorrect. God is spirit. He is not corporeal. He does not have a “back.” This is a case where the…

  • Role Model

    After He had removed him, He raised up David to be their king, concerning whom He also testified and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My heart, who will do all My will. Acts 13:22 NASB After my heart – Let’s consider David. What was his life really like?…

  • Stop crying!

    “Stop crying. It doesn’t hurt that bad.” Were you told something like this when you were a child? Unfortunately, parents might mean well, but this sort of reprimand actually underscores an important mistake about our emotional reactions.

Philippians 4:8 NASB Let’s try a summary of the less controversial discoveries we made over these years. Each of these has…

  • The Discovery of Logos

    In the beginning was the word . . . John 1:1 NASB Word – We are not going to go another round on the Trinitarian debate over this verse. What we are going to do is examine how much of the Hellenized world was influenced by the Greek concept of logos. To do that, we…

  • The REAL News about South Africa

    Political correctness masks the truth.  As you know, I have many friends in South Africa and have been there many times to teach and enjoy their fellowship.  Western media systematically removes the fact that South Africa is experiencing a wave of racially motivated violence that exceeds the previous apartheid.  Why don’t they report this?  Because…

  • Paul, the Gnostic

    But this I say, brethren, the time has been shortened, so that from now on those who have wives should be as though they had none; and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not…
