Unmasking the Father of Lies: Exposing Satan's Deception in a World Drowning in Falsehood

Image
Beloved readers, feel the chill wind of spiritual warfare whipping through your soul as you read these words. We live in perilous times—times foretold in Scripture—when deception crashes like tidal waves against the church, and the air itself seems thick with the acrid smoke of hell's forge. Today, I invite you to plunge into the blazing furnace of truth found in John 8 , where our Lord Jesus Christ, eyes flashing like flames from heaven's throne, confronts the religious elite of His day and unmasks the true source of their rebellion: Satan , the father of lies. John 8:44 thunders with divine authority: "You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies." Picture the scene in the temple courts: dust swirling under sandaled feet, the cro...

The Journey from Commitment to Full Surrender: Let's Talk About Deeper Faith

Image
You know, in today's fast-paced world where everyone's juggling a million things, it's easy to treat our faith like just another item on the to-do list—go to church, read a Bible verse, say a quick prayer. But lately, I've been thinking a lot about what the Bible really calls us to, especially after sharing a homily with some dedicated fundamentalist Christians who are all about sticking to the pure, unchanging Word of God. We dove into the difference between being a committed Christian and a surrendered one , and man, it hit home. It's not about splitting hairs; it's about checking our hearts and seeing if we're truly all in with Jesus. So, grab a coffee, pull up a chair, and let's chat about this. I'll break it down with some Scripture, and maybe it'll spark something in you like it did for me.  So, What's a Committed Christian Really Look Like? . Alright, let's start here. A committed Christian? That's someone who's genuinely...

Lessons from an Ancient Graveyard: Eternal Truths from Genesis 5

Image
In a world shrouded in the fog of skepticism and secularism, where the unyielding authority of God's Word is ridiculed like echoes in a forsaken canyon, it's imperative for true believers to anchor their souls in the literal, rock-solid truths of Scripture. As we teeter on the brink of a new year, like wanderers at the edge of a vast, uncharted wilderness, let's linger in the shadows of an often-ignored passage: Genesis 5:1-5 . This isn't a dusty, forgotten scroll of names—it's a divine tapestry , woven with threads of eternity, portraying a spiritual graveyard where crumbling tombstones, etched by the winds of time and the finger of God, murmur haunting lessons about our divine origins, our tragic fall , and our radiant hope in Christ. Drawing from the inerrant, blazing light of God's Word, we'll unravel these verses, infusing them with the vivid colors of supporting Scriptures to erect a towering fortress of faith amid these turbulent end times.

Planning for the New Year: Aligning Your Steps with God's Eternal Purpose

Image
As we stand on the threshold of a new year, the world around us buzzes with resolutions, goals, and self-improvement plans. Gym memberships surge, diets are declared, and planners are filled with ambitious to-do lists. But as fundamentalist Christians , rooted in the unchanging truth of God's Word, we must approach this season differently. The Bible warns us against leaning on our own understanding ( Proverbs 3:5-6 ) and reminds us that "many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails" ( Proverbs 19:21 ). So, how should we, as faithful followers of Jesus Christ, plan for the year ahead? Let us turn to Scripture for guidance, seeking first the Kingdom of God ( Matthew 6:33 ) and committing our ways to Him. In this post, I'll outline a biblically grounded approach to new year planning—one that prioritizes spiritual growth, submission to God's sovereignty, and practical obedience. This isn't about chasing worldly success...

Biblical Preparation: Readying Your Heart for a New Year

Image
As Christians, we approach each new year not as a secular reset marked by fleeting resolutions, but as an opportunity to align our lives more closely with God's unchanging Word. The Bible doesn't speak directly of "New Year's Eve parties" or gym memberships, but it overflows with timeless truths about preparation, vigilance, and embracing God's renewals. In a world drifting further from biblical absolutes, let's turn to Scripture to equip ourselves for what lies ahead—whether personal trials, societal upheaval, or the imminent return of Christ. The Call to Diligent Preparation Proverbs urges us to learn from creation itself. "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest" (Proverbs 6:6-8, KJV). Just as the ant stores up for lean times without being told, we must prepare our households and hearts. This isn't about...
