It's impossible for me to comprehend what it is like for those in Jamaica right now with a Category 5 hurricane approaching. I'm praying for those in its path.

Each generation tends to be experts in pointing out the flaws of the previous generation by amateurs at seeing their own. The ability to step outside of the trends of your time and see beyond the moment is rare. Often because it's not desired. That takes true leadership.

It's a little known fact that Polycarp and other 1st century Christians were led astray by charts by Clarence Larkin.

Recently I advocated for having a robust filing system. Today I wrote a brief blog demonstrating my approach - https://t.co/b0UxZYhJii You don't have to do what I do, but it's necessary to have an approach that works for you.

“But I & others, who are right-minded Christians on all points, are assured that there will be a resurrection of the dead, & a 1000 years in Jerusalem, which will then be built, adorned, & enlarged, as the prophets Ezekiel & Isaiah & others declare.” Justin Martyr

Young men in ministry. Research & settle upon a filing system that works for you. Then stick to it. Before you know it you'll have 20 years of sermons, graphics, & more. If you don't have a good system, you'll waste time constantly repeating work or searching for files.

“The purpose of Bible study is not to know the Bible but to know God through the Bible.” – R.A. Torrey I could clarify that statement more, but the central truth of it I believe stands.

Once source states that Over 75% of OT thanksgiving is corporate worship or public acknowledgment of God. Gathering with other believers to praise and worship God and give thanks should not be seen as optional. Gathering with the saints is vital.

I don't remember many people have serious allergies when I was young. Then there was an increase. So, people were told not to give peanuts to young children. The number of allergies exploded. Now it turns out that giving peanuts to young children helps prevent the allergy.

In 2 Timothy 3:3 and Titus 2:3, the word translated “false accuser” is diabolos, the same word for devil. To slander, gossip, or spread lies is to imitate the Accuser himself. Before you speak, post, or share online, make sure it's true. Be Christlike, not devilish.

“It was a glorious Savior who died; - it was glorious love that led him to die; - it was a glorious object to redeem a world; - and it is unspeakable glory to which he will raise lost and ruined sinners by his death. O who would not glory in such a Savior!” – Barnes

One of the reasons I hold to dispensational hermeneutics is that it gives a consistent interpretation and application of the whole Bible. Between the Old and New Testaments there are continuations and completions without compromises or contradictions.

I've lived in a country with socialized medicine and a king. The USA is better off without socialized medicine and it does not have anything close to a king.

Having been through the immigration process of getting a Green Card and then the naturalization process to become a US citizen. I cannot understand the high profile cases lately of non-citizens who had no legal status gaining jobs in education and law enforcement.

"Orthodoxy" as a denomination does not have a Biblical position on salvation. They have a man-made tradition. The Bible is very clear about assurance of salvation. It speaks very clearly of passing from death to life & becoming a new creation. It says nothing of going back.
If you’re in Orthodoxy, are you saved? An Orthodox Christian Priest’s answer might surprise you… Is Orthodoxy having the only coherent soteriology in all of Christendom the reason thousands are converting today?
