Questions are powerful. In fact, a good way to tell how free you are is your ability to ask questions without being penalized in some way. It is also very Hebraic to ask questions.

For some time, the word "tradition" has become a dirty word in Protestant pulpits. Usually, this word is used in connection to Pharisees and then spread across the entire base of Jewish teaching in general. But is this fair? Is it right? And, is it BIBLICAL.

We live at Ground Zero of the attack. The hardest part of Spiritual Warfare is the fact that Satan wages a hit-and-run strategy. If our problems came at us from a direction we could see, they would be easier to deal with sometimes. However, that's just not what happens most of the time. Here are some thoughts...

This is Park 3 of the series, Spiritual Warfare. Believers and the occult don't mix. It's like oil and water. There are many who claim to be believers in Jesus that dabble in occult and will openly tell someone that they are believers. However, the proof is in the actions. Here are some thoughts...

Spiritual Warfare Part 2 takes a look at demons and how they get a foothold in our lives. Sometimes it's easier than you think for them to gain access to us. Most of the time, it's because the believer allows them to harass them due to a choice the believer has made. Here are some thoughts... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Language, culture and history are three topics that most seminary students dread studying for than all others. They are deemed the most difficult and boring of all the topics. But are they?

Going deeper into the Word of God is not always easy. Like most digging, it takes time, effort and commitment. However, there is nothing that will pay off like digging deeper into the Word. Also, there are many believers who want to go to the next level in their walk with God, but find that can't seem to make it there for some reason. Could it be their foundation in the Word isn't deep enough? To build a skyscraper you have to go deep, down to rock so the building structure can support going up that high. Here are some thoughts...

The end game for any "professional" is to retire in style. Funny thing is...the word 'retirement' isn't in the Bible. Unfortunately, many pastor's get entrenched in their church and then resist change. The problem with this idea is that change is usually how God gets things done. Here are some thoughts...

Sometimes, Protestant preachers spend quite a lot of time during a sermon trying to push a "guilt trip" conviction on the listeners. In short, we tend to major on the bad news and short-sell the good. Why is it that the best part of the gospel message is short-sold. That is THE RESURRECTION.

Acts chapter 3 has an amazing story of Peter and John healing a lame man. The man thought he might get money, but he got something so much more.
