A Response to John Piper on the 2020 Election

A Response to John Piper on the 2020 Election

Let me begin by stating that I do not actually believe John Piper will ever read this post. My aim is to simply respond to his recent article on the implications of the 2020 presidential election given that we are living in unprecedented times.

A Conscience Issue

From beginning to end, Piper did well to indicate that this is purely a conscience issue. That is commendable because he…

The Feasts of Israel

The Feasts of Israel

Introduction

Every nation in the world has its own holidays. For example: in the United States we celebrate Easter, Father’s Day, the 4th of July, and Christmas. However, there is only one nation in the world that celebrates specific holidays that point towards a future fulfillment – Israel. You see, though we have some which are celebrated simply as mere present realities [Mother’s Day,…

Living Under A Corrupt Government

Living Under A Corrupt Government

Introduction

The book of Esther is an account of when God’s people lived under a corrupt government with hidden motives and evil agendas. Haman, who was second only to the king, had plotted against the Jews and was determined to annihilate God’s people.

Christian Tools In Microsoft Word

Christian Tools In Microsoft Word

Apart from the save button [though it would be more Biblical for it to be on the right instead of the left (Matt. 25:33)], the next biggest Christian tool in Microsoft Word has to do with the text alignment. Yes, I am referring to the “Justify” tab – which, within the alignment tabs, is the furthest one on the right.

Why is this such a big deal? Because it is the only button in the entire…

The Christian Use of Cryptocurrency

How can digital assets be used to help advance the Gospel in 2020? #BiblicalPerspicacity #Bitcoin #Cryptocurrency #DigitalAssets #TheFutureOfMoney #Finance #RaisingSupport #MissionaryFunding #ReligiousPersecution

Cryptocurrency. What is it? Where did it come from? Why is it here? Where is it going? It is my belief that Bitcoin still has a very bright future and this post is intended to present the two biggest reasons why Christians would specifically profit from taking advantage of this asset class.

What is Cryptocurrency?

A cryptocurrency, such as bitcoin, is a decentralized digital currency found…

A Future Tribulational Viewpoint on The Global Meltdown of 2020 #BiblicalPerspicacity #EndTimes #Rapture #Perspective

Little effort is needed to see that things are growing worse around the globe. World economies are falling apart, riots are spreading across the U.S. like a plague during a pandemic, earthquakes are increasing, wildfires are expanding, and it seems like everybody is worried what trial the next month will bring. What in the world is going on?

Conviction or Compromise

A conviction is something you would die defending. Everything else is a possible compromise. #BiblicalPerspicacity #Esther #ReligiousConviction #Preferences

Definitions

A conviction is a firmly held belief. It is something that a person is fully convinced of within their own conscience and they would risk everything to stand by them.

A compromise is the act of submitting your preferences to something even if you disagree.

A Man of Conviction

In the book of Esther, we read about a man who was firm in his convictions. Mordecai, Esther’s…

The Inexcusable Revelations of God

The Inexcusable Revelations of God

All of us know about the inexcusable revelations of God through nature and the written Word, but how many of us have ever sat down to think about what this actually means? The Bible says that there are two forms of revelation through which God has chosen to reveal Himself to humanity: General & Special Revelation.

General Revelation (Rom. 1:20)

This is the testimony of God to mankind…

The Prayers of a Man Pardoned a Nation

The Prayers of a Man Pardoned a Nation

Numbers 14:11-20 details the account of when the people of Israel rebelled against God and the LORD threatened to remove them from the face of the earth. God presented the possibility of killing the whole nation and starting over with Moses because of the evil report from the spies who had returned from surveying the promised land of Canaan. Their pessimistic attitude and outright disbelief in the

What is Unfortunate About Genesis 1?

What is Unfortunate About Genesis 1?

How can such a wonderful description of God’s act in the creation of the entire universe end on such an unfortunate note? I am not referring to the Fall of Man, but something that occurs much sooner — the chapter break.

With the end of the sixth day, chapter one is brought to a close. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the men and women involved in the translation and organization of…

Who Wrote 1st & 2nd Samuel?

Who Wrote 1st & 2nd Samuel?

It seems like it would be safe to assume that Samuel, the prophet who anointed both Saul and David to be the first two kings of Israel, would be the writer of these two books. However, upon closer examination of the text, you will find that Samuel actually died at the beginning of 1 Samuel 25. This means that he died thirty-one chapters too soon to be the penman of both books.

The two books of…
