Life's Inanities and Ironies

  Brothers and sisters, few lives in Scripture display more violent and rapid change than the life of Joseph. One day he is the favored son wearing a coat of many colours. The next he is stripped, thrown into a pit, and sold to Ishmaelite traders. One day he is steward of Potiphar’s entire house. The next he is falsely accused and cast into prison. One day he is forgotten by the butler. The next he stands before Pharaoh and is made ruler over all the land of Egypt. Genesis 50:20 is the theological key that unlocks every reversal: “But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.” The fundamentalist Christian must learn to read every sudden downturn through this lens. Men may mean it for evil. Circumstances may appear chaotic. But the sovereign God is never absent, never surprised, and never defeated. Joseph’s adaptation was not passive resignation. In Potiphar’s house he served with excellence. I...

Have you ever felt like what you have to offer God is simply not enough?   Too little time. Too little money. Too little talent. Too little faith.   In those moments, it’s easy to feel discouraged and tempted to say, “Lord, send the problem away.” But the Gospel of Mark shows us a powerful truth: Jesus is ** the Lord of the Little **.   This beloved story of the feeding of the five thousand is more than a miracle — it’s a life-changing lesson for every believer who feels inadequate.   The Scripture ( Mark 6:35-44, KJV ) “And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed: Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat. He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat? He saith unt...

 Hey folks, in this time that's spinning with all sorts of chaos—uncertainty, moral mix-ups, and those quick-hit pleasures that never really satisfy—I've always found the Bible to be that solid anchor for my soul. As a conservative Christian , I love digging into the prophets like Isaiah for those reminders of God 's big-picture plan. Today, let's chat about Isaiah 12:1-3 . It's this awesome little hymn of praise that really nails what salvation is all about. It's not just some old poem; it's like a personal GPS showing where God's rescue mission takes us—from the dark side of His wrath right into the bright warmth of eternal joy. I pulled this from a sermon I put together recently, and we'll walk through it verse by verse, like we're sitting down for coffee.   A Bit of Background: A Song That Comes from Being Set Free So, Isaiah 12 pops up right after a bunch of heavy prophecies about judgment on Israel and other nations, but then it shifts to ...

 In a world increasingly enamored with the occult , spiritual darkness, and moral ambiguity, fundamentalist Christians must stand firm on the unchanging truth of God's Word. The Bible warns us repeatedly about the reality of evil spirits and demons—not as mere myths or psychological phenomena, but as active forces under Satan's command, seeking to deceive, tempt, and destroy. Yet, Scripture doesn't leave us in fear; it provides clear guidance on avoiding these entities while empowering us to confront them only when necessary, all under the authority of Christ. Central to this spiritual battle is our dependence on the Holy Spirit , our divine Protector and Guide. In this post, we'll explore these truths, drawing from key Bible verses and teachings, to equip believers in their daily walk. The Reality and Dangers of Evil Spirits: Why We Must Avoid Them Evil spirits are no fairy tale; they are fallen angels who rebelled against God and now operate in opposition to His kingd...
