If you've wondered or struggled with what it means to have a relationship with the Holy Spirit, I encourage your to prayerfully consider reading through John chapters 14 - 17. These chapters give Jesus' final instructions to His disciples before his arrest, crucifiction, and then resurection. Beyond […]

I've struggled with this over the years. And it's still a struggle. The question of which church to attend, if any at all, can be a difficult question to answer for many people. Dr. Michael Heiser offers some guiding principles.

Here's a worthwhile segment from Dr. Michael Heiser on the subject of keeping things in context. The points raised mitigate against taking extreme positions. And because Michael Heiser illustrates the importance of context citing the example of Paul's instruction regarding women in pastoral […]

"When discernment goes wrong, it leads to a hyper-fundamentalism that smears people right and left while slowly but surely drawing the circle of fellowship more and more narrowly until only a tiny portion of Christian people are represented. In the end, even that group turns on each other and […]

"Something I’ve gleaned from Asbury is a deeper appreciation that when God moves, the opposition moves too." - Mandy (via Twitter) “For a great and effective door has opened to me, AND there are many adversaries.” 1 Corinthians 16:9 […]

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity. In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy […]

Some of us forget what it was like when we were first saved. The humility, gratitude, peace, and joy. How totally "wrecked" we were on the inside. Some very strange accusations have been directed at what clearly looks like revival (by many accounts) at Asbury University in Kentucky. Why is […]

An encouraging message about spiritual revival from Jeff Henderson. This is so cool! And that it's happening with such a young demographic is especially cool! Sometimes we traditionalist, well churched, and often rigid old guard have a tendency to throw cold water on events like this. "Do not […]

There is no substitute for focused time with the Lord. This is why Jesus was so deliberate about protecting it. Any mature Christian who desires to walk in the Spirit will tell you this. As sure as this principle is, it is easy to fall out of this practice. The pattern is this: When you start your […]

In this video, Joel Richardson uses the example of Alexander Hislop to demonstrate how unsubstantiated theories can become entrenched. These ideas, once entrenched, can distort how we see the world around us. There are lessons for us today - especially because it seems like disinformation and […]

This needs to be said because you don't often hear it today. The destiny of the righteous is not to live on a cloud in some immaterial heaven forever. For the dead (in Christ), heaven is a temporary stop along the way. Remember Him before the silver cord is snapped and the golden bowl is […]

The word "church" is used several times in the first few chapters of the Book of Revelation. But then doesn't appear again until chapter 22. Why is that? The absence of this word is another primary arguement often used to support a pre-tribulation rapture. Joel Richardson explores this […]

One of the more glaring aspects of Jesus' ministry was His regular confrontation with the religious authorities of His day. It was their rigid, religious orthodoxy and penchant for strict obedience to a set of rules that was at issue. Their's was an outward expression that lacked any inward […]

I've noticed this. Congregations that have adopted supersessionism as part of their beliefs have a tradition of either: avoiding the testimony of the prophets. or allegorizing the very plain statements of the prophets into implying something completely different. Supersessionism is the belief that […]

Rev 3:10 is often used as a proof text supporting a pre-tribulation rapture. Joel Richardson explores that in this 25 min video:
