Jehovah Shammah: The God Who is There

This name begins the list of names that exchange El (God) for the covenant name given to Moses: YHWH. It is also where God’s name is personalized for us. Each of the names that start with Jehovah, demonstrates a general application and a personal one. The word Jehovah is derived from YHWH. In order to…

El Shaddai: God Almighty, The God of More Than Enough

The single most important thing for any student of biblical studies [or anyone who believes in the bible] to teach, is to teach others who God is. But for one to teach, they must first learn and understand this truth themselves. Christians and non-Christians alike need to know who the God of the bible is.…

The Mystery of the Trinity: 3 in Person, 1 in Essence

Preface: This came by special request and required considerable study. This topic is crucial to Christian doctrine as a whole. In 2015, Dr. R.C. Sproul stated that, if he had to guess, one of the biggest issues the church will face in the next 25–50 years would be the issue of the deity of Christ.…

Galatians: The Liberty of a Believer in Christ

A common desire for countless individuals across this planet is freedom — liberty. So much so that wars have been waged over this and nations have had revolutions in order to secure this desire. The United States of America was founded to pursue and establish this freedom for all people who reside within. As many…

The Great I AM

There is a verse that keeps running in my mind. I’ve been going back to it for the last few years. I suppose that makes it my favorite verse, or definitely one of them; and it comes from my favorite book of the Old Testament, Exodus. This subject is something no one can fully understand…

God’s Chosen Army of Rejects

People are able to come to God because he chose us and ordained us to come to him. God chose which people would come to him from before the foundation of the world. We love him because he first loved us. Not all Christians fall under the category I’m about to describe, but a large…

The Sacrifice of a Christian

Following Christ means doing what he wants, not what you want. It’s a huge sacrifice; you give yourself, your desires, and your will for him, his desires, and his will. It’s the ultimate discipline. It’s a constant struggle and training and conditioning of yourself. As it is, be in this world, but not of it.…

Apologetics

In the effort of making the thinkers believe and the believers think, I write this as a tribute to Ravi Zacharias, who passed away earlier this year. To give a brief explanation of the title, Christian Apologetics means to gently and respectfully defend and promote the living God, his only begotten son, and his holy…

The Pandemic of Fear

Today, with the current state of affairs, we are in a pandemic. Not just of Covid-19, or any other disease; but of fear. The most enslaving and compelling of emotions is fear. Especially in this current society, fear is the leading driver of most of our choices and decisions. The definition of fear is an…

Red Skelton’s Pledge of Allegiance

I was thinking about Red Skelton’s pledge of allegience and how his teacher broke it down for the basic understanding. He did this because it became monotonous for the children reciting it over and over which began to lose its meaning. I thought I might try this with the two most recited passeges of the…
