Life's Inanities and Ironies

 Brethren, the more we gaze upon these Separatist saints, the more we see the Word of God leaping off the page into real history. Their story is not merely “inspiring”—it is a divine typology. God wrote their voyage into the margins of our Bibles as a fresh exhibition of ancient truths. Here are more unbreakable parallels that ought to make every Bible-believing Christian fall on his face in wonder. 6. They were Abrahams, obeying the call to leave kin and country for a land they had never seen.    “By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went” (Heb. 11:8).      These Pilgrims forsook houses, lands, fathers, mothers, and the graves of their ancestors because Christ was more precious to them than England itself. They did not wait for a comfortable retirement package. They stepped onto the Mayflower with nothing but the promises of God in ...

 Brethren, when we speak of the Pilgrims , let us strip away the schoolhouse myths , the cartoons with buckles on hats , and the secularized fairy tale of “ friendship with Indians .” Those things happened, but they are not WHY the Pilgrims matter to blood-bought, Bible-believing Christians in 2025. The Pilgrims mattered because they were unashamed, uncompromising, separatist, Bible-saturated saints who counted everything rubbish for the excellency of knowing Christ Jesus their Lord. They were closer to us than most modern evangelicals will ever be. Consider who they really were. 1. They were biblical separatists — not “ tolerant reformers .”       They saw the Church of England as a false church, steeped in Roman Catholic remnants , ruled by a king who called himself head of the church instead of Christ. They believed the Scripture taught that a true church was a gathered company of visible saints , baptized upon profession of faith, walking in covenant tog...

  “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it.” – Psalm 127:1 Today we walked through brand-new doors to us, sat in brand-new chairs, and lifted our voices under a roof and in an auditorium that still smells like fresh paint and answered prayer. After years of someone else's sound system, folding tables and chairs, baptizing folks in borrowed horse troughs and ponds, God has given us a permanent place to call home. But let’s be crystal-clear from day one: this building is not the church. You are. I am. The blood-bought, born-again believers gathered around the Word and the Table —that’s the church Jesus is building. The bricks are just a tool in His hand. 1. A Monument to God’s Faithfulness    Some of you sold hay bales, held yard sales, skipped vacations, and gave when the offering plate looked empty felt heavier than when it was full. Some of you prayed until your knees left permanent dents in the carpet. Some of you lost sleep over permits an...

Whoa, hold on—have you ever felt that spiritual spark fizzling out in this chaotic world? As a fellow Christian clinging to every jot and tittle of God's inerrant Word, I get it. The pressures are real: secular agendas shoving idols down our throats, churches going soft on sin. But let's crank up the heat with the epic tale of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from Daniel 3:1-30 ! These dudes stared down a blazing furnace rather than kneel to a fake god, and boom—their faith lit up the whole kingdom. Sound like something we need right now? With end-times warnings in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 about that " man of sin " demanding worship, it's time to ignite! We're talking real, fervent zeal, like Paul urges in Romans 12:11 : "Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord." Grab your Bible, lean in, and let's dive into four electrifying steps that'll set your soul ablaze—backed by Scripture every step of the way! Step 1: Refuse to Co...

In a world drowning in moral relativism, political upheaval, and spiritual apathy, the timeless words of Scripture call us back to the throne of the Almighty . As a Christian, I stand unapologetically on the inerrant Word of God—the Bible in its literal, historical, and grammatical sense. No compromises, no dilutions. Recently, I delivered a homily based on Psalm 98, a powerful anthem of praise that demands our wholehearted response to God's sovereign acts. Today, I'm expanding that message into this blog post, drawing not just from the Psalms but from the full counsel of God's Word. We'll explore how this psalm points to Christ's ultimate victory, the joy of true worship, and the certainty of divine judgment. Whether you're a seasoned believer or seeking truth, let's dive in and let the Scriptures speak. The Call to a New Song: Celebrating God's Marvelous Deeds Psalm 98 opens with an exhilarating command: " O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he h...
