Life's Inanities and Ironies

In a world where doubt lurks around every corner—fueled by secular skepticism, cultural decay, and even the whispers of our own sinful nature—it's easy for even the most devout believer to feel the ground shift beneath their feet. As fundamentalist Christians committed to the literal, inerrant Word of God, we know that Scripture is our ultimate authority, not fleeting emotions or human wisdom. Today, let's dive deep into Hebrews 6:18-20 , a passage that doesn't just address doubt but equips us to slay it outright. Here, the inspired writer unveils three divine realities that serve as an unbreakable anchor for our souls. These aren't abstract ideas; they're biblical truths rooted in God's character, designed to fortify our faith and propel us toward holy living until Christ's return. Reality #1: The Unchangeable Promise and Oath of God – A Fortress Against Uncertainty At the heart of doubt is the fear that God's promises might falter. "What if I'...

 In our fast-paced world, where life's highway seems endless with its twists, turns, and traffic jams, it's easy to overlook the rest areas God places along the way. These are the moments of peace, reflection, and renewal that refresh our souls for the journey ahead. Drawing from the timeless truth of Scripture, let's explore Genesis 21:33-34 , where Abraham , the patriarch of faith, teaches us profound lessons on savoring these divine pauses. The passage reads: "And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba , and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God. And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days" (KJV). Here, after securing a covenant over a vital well in the arid wilderness, Abraham doesn't rush onward. Instead, he stops at Beersheba—"well of the oath"—to plant a tamarisk tree , worship the Eternal God ( El Olam ), and dwell there contentedly for an extended time. As sojourners in this world, much like Abraham in for...

Hey there, fellow seeker of truth, Have you ever felt that deep, aching void in your soul—the kind that no amount of encouragement from loved ones can fill? I know I have. In those moments, I turn to the Bible, and stories like Hannah's in 1 Samuel 1:1-28 speak straight to my heart. As someone who's wrestled with unfulfilled dreams, this passage isn't just words on a page; it's a lifeline. Let's walk through it together, as if we're chatting over coffee, and see how Hannah's faith can ignite ours today. When Life Feels Unfair: Hannah's Heartache Picture this: Elkanah, a good man from the hills of Ephraim, has two wives. Peninnah is popping out kids left and right, but Hannah? Her womb is closed—by God Himself, the Scripture says (1 Samuel 1:5-6). Every year at the family pilgrimage to Shiloh for worship, Peninnah rubs it in, mocking Hannah until she's in tears. Ouch, right? Elkanah tries to console her with extra portions at the feast, whispering, ...

Hey there, brothers and sisters in Christ! In these last days, with the world growing darker and farther from God's truth, it's crucial we cling to the inerrant Word of God. I recently preached a homily on Psalm 105:1-5 , straight from the inspired Scriptures, calling us to praise, remember, and seek the Lord without compromise. As fundamental believers, we know the Bible is our ultimate authority—no additions, no subtractions. I wanted to adapt that message into this blog post, sharing real testimonies of God's unchanging power. If you're standing firm on the fundamentals of the faith, these verses will stir your soul to bolder obedience and evangelism. Let's dig in, verse by verse, as the Holy Spirit leads. Let's Start with Praise and Sharing (Verse 1) "Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done." This is a divine command from God's Word—not optional, but essential for true believers. We're calle...

 In a world obsessed with instant success, mega-events, and viral sensations, it's easy to overlook the power of humble beginnings. Yet, the Bible reminds us through the prophet Zechariah : "For who hath despised the day of small things?" ( Zechariah 4:10, KJV ). This verse, spoken to a weary remnant rebuilding Jerusalem's temple , speaks volumes to us today as fundamentalist Christians navigating an increasingly hostile culture. In this blog post, we'll unpack this timeless truth, drawing from Scripture, real-life testimonies, and divine principles to encourage you to embrace the small acts of faith that God uses to build His kingdom. The Biblical Foundation: Zechariah's Vision of Hope Zechariah prophesied during a time of restoration after Israel's Babylonian exile . Under Governor Zerubbabel , the people faced daunting odds: limited resources, mocking enemies like Sanballat and Tobiah (Nehemiah 4:2-3), and a temple that paled in comparison to Solomon...
