Believers ache for a past that was more moral and more Christian, and grieve a covenant they believe the nation broke. But the remembered age never existed as remembered, no Gentile nation was ever in covenant with God, and Scripture rebukes the longing itself. A look at nostalgia, the Christian nation, and the post God actually gave you.

Opposition to once saved, always saved seldom turns on the verses it quotes. This article traces the objection to its root — a righteousness a man built himself, and the distance from other men that grace erases — then divides the passages. Israel's salvation is an inheritance received at the end; the Body's was handed over at the beginning.

You have probably heard that the word translated sorceries is where we get our word pharmacy, and that Revelation therefore condemns the drug industry. This examines the method behind that claim, why the passages themselves refuse it, and what your King James already tells you without help from a lexicon.

The most common complaint against the King James is that its archaic words make it hard to understand. But the thees and thous are not decoration — they are working parts, telling the reader whether God is speaking to one man or to a multitude. Modern English idiom has no second word to mark that, and this is what is lost when they go.

Believers are being told that artificial intelligence is the image of the beast. It is not, and the passage will not carry the weight. This article traces the fear to the films and to a world already alarmed, and shows from Paul why a machine can neither rise above you nor teach you the things of God.

One of the hardest sentences Paul wrote appears to say a man's bad works can get him destroyed by God. Read whole, it says very nearly the opposite, and the clause most often left off the end is the one that answers it. Here is what defiling means in Paul's own vocabulary, and why the temple was never the thing in danger.

Paul says God hath made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Being seated is not the believer's location, nor merely his posture, but his position — a finished, shared, heavenly, and permanent place in the risen Christ, a seat that is also a throne. Here is what the seat means, and what it does not.

The golden calf was never announced as a rival god. Aaron called it a feast to the LORD. The idols in the modern church do the same thing: they wear the name of Jesus while the congregation worships its own appetites. This companion to The Worldly Church names the idols the heart actually serves, and the one god standing behind them all.
