If a pastor says, “I don’t talk about politics,” what he’s essentially saying is, “I won’t teach you how to love your neighbor.” How so? When a church says, “We don’t get political,” what they actually mean is, “We won’t apply God’s Word to public life.” But politics is public

The nation of Israel is mentioned by name over 2,300 times in the Bible. If we want to have a biblically-balanced understanding of God’s view of the nation of Israel, ancient and modern, we ought to study all of those biblical instances. From just a cursory reading, however, one

In the debate among Christians about “Christian Zionism,” the term is often being used inconsistently, creating confusion among those in the debate. Some are defining it as “The belief that God specially chose the descendants of Israel, primarily as agents for bringing the

Note to Readers: This is remainder of my previous post that was too long (according to X) to fit into one post. ____________________ That will also be the time of Israel’s national repentance. We read, for example, in Ezekiel: "Thus says the Lord God, 'Though I had removed them

You have perhaps heard that well known Christian actor Kirk Cameron has recently questioned the idea of the eternal conscious torment (ECT) of the damned, a view of hell that is held by the majority of Christians. Cameron has embraced a minority view of hell called

With all eyes of the world on Iran, and as we pray for its people, I thought some of my X friends might be interested in Iran's biblical history, that goes back thousands of years (that I have posted previously and you have may seen). Iran was known as Persia until 1935, and in

Misogyny is a word it seems we’re hearing more often these days. It is derived from two Greek words, miso, meaning “hatred,” and gunē, meaning “women.” But you don’t have to hate women to be a misogynist, as the modern definition has been expanded to include “the dislike of,
