What is the so-called “Blood Moon Prophecy” all about? Is it in the Bible? Does it relate to us today? Blood Moons There are a lot of false teachers out there and some who actually claim to be prophets of God predicting all sorts of doom and gloom, but the so-called “blood moon prophecy” is a recent invention by some who claim to have special revelation from God. One such man is John Hagee, founder and president of Cornerstone Church,... Read more
What does it mean when people say, there’s power in the blood of Jesus Christ? There’s Power in the Blood There is an old Christian hymn that has the line, “There’s power in the blood,” because “Sin-stains are lost in its life-giving flow; There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.” That is truly biblical because the Bible teaches that nothing but the blood of Jesus can wash away our sins, and is reminiscent of another classic hymn, “Nothing but the Blood...

What is the life of a Christian missionary like? What do they do on missions? Missionaries Every Christian should be on mission for Christ. Just as Jesus gave the disciples, and I believe He gives all of us, an imperative command, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am... Read more
How can believers overcome the pulls of the love of money? A Root of Evil When the Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy, he was concerned about the sins that were associated with pursing money, because he knew that many were making shipwrecks of their faith. For this reason, Paul wrote, “the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many... Read more
Why can’t a Christian date or marry an atheist? What’s the problem? Few Things in Common The Apostle Paul commands the church to not be yoked with unbelievers because he knows that this is not God’s will, and so he wrote, “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness” (2nd Cor 6:14), for “What accord has Christ with Belial? What portion does a believer share with an... Read more
Here are five things we should pray for every day. Pray to Avoid Sin Jesus was asked by His disciples to teach them to pray as John the Baptist taught His disciples to pray (Luke 11:2) so Jesus tells them, not to pray this prayer, but to pray like this: “Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.... Read more
Here are seven Bible verses relating to the ocean or the sea. Psalm 146:6 “Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps faith forever.” The first verse about the ocean or sea is naturally about the Creator of it. God not only made the heavens and the earth, but also the sea and all that lives in them. The psalmist is obviously writing about the creation of all things and that He “keeps... Read more
What does the world “foreknew” or “foreknow” mean when used in the Bible? What does it have to do with Christians? The Sovereignty of God Rather than read some theologians definition of the sovereignty of God or look it up in one of my Bible dictionaries, I thought, let the Word of God define what that looks like and there are dozens of Scriptures I could turn to but can only manage to use a few. One of the best... Read more
How hard it can be to trust in God’s timing. We are a people who want what we want and would prefer it right now. Sometimes it seems as if we are not even on God’s clock. Read more
What is a sin offering according to Scriptures? Offerings In the Old Testament there were several offerings but these offerings almost always dealt with the covering of sin and trespasses. For example, in Leviticus 4:3 it is written that “if it is the anointed priest who sins, thus bringing guilt on the people, then he shall offer for the sin that he has committed a bull from the herd without blemish to the Lord for a sin offering” but “If...
