Biblical Christian Worldview

Our verse for today comes from Jeremiah 42:19, " The Lord has said concerning you, O remnant of Judah, 'Do not go to Egypt!' Know certainly that I have admonished you this day. " As we seek Him today, sincerely desire His will, especially in the areas that seem the hardest for you to surrender. Take God's direction as pleasing instructions from your Father. "Let us kn...

I read an article from a Christian writing on the inability to reconcile science with his theology. He used a number of examples, such as the effort of those who try to scientifically justify the parting of the Red Sea. His basic premise was that they were incompatible, and he was ok with that. My response is below.  Finally, there are many things we clearly don't know or understand, both the...

For a number of years, the Jehovah’s Witnesses would infrequently come up our long driveway to visit my wife (while I was at work). She was very kind and accommodating, talking at their car and eventually having them into the house for extended discussions (typically one would remain in the car and two would come in). My wife is very well-founded in her Biblical Christian faith. She is just a warm...

Our verse for today comes from John 20:30, “And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book.” As we seek Him today, leave out of your today all that you wish you had left out when you would get to the end of the day. Let the Holy Spirit make of you His desired version. "Let us know what you think."

Our verse for today comes from John 12:26, " Whoever serves Me must follow Me. My servants must be with Me everywhere I am. My Father will give honor to anyone who serves Me. " As we seek Him today, is Jesus the One that you are following? Are you His servant, or would He call you something else? "Let us know what you think."

I have had a running dialogue on Medium with a liberal atheist European (J...) for sometime. It has spread over multiple posts with back-and-forth comments on a number of topics. We have been respectful and curious toward each other's beliefs.  Is America the strongest nation in the world because we are the most entrenched in Capitalism vs. Socialism? Can we, or even should we, retain our pos...

Our verse for today comes from Ephesians 5:1, " Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. " As we seek Him today, look to God for how to act and react. Imitate Him, whether in patience, faithfulness, grace, or any other good thing. Let Him set the standard for you today. "Let us know what you think."

Our verse for today comes from John 20:27, “Then He said to Thomas, ‘Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.’” As we seek Him today, believe that Jesus is there for you, and look for Him. Fellowship with believers, read His Word, talk to Him. Experience His hands and His side. "Let us know what you...

I wrote an article , “Robert Jeffress had Trump speak at 1st Baptist Dallas”, in early January. As is often the case, discussions on Medium continue long after a post gets published. Yesterday I received a comment from a reader who used to attend a large church that openly supported former President Trump. The pastor stated that “true believers will vote for Trump”.  That is where Sunday morning s...

Our verse for today comes from Numbers 21:8, " Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole, and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.' " As we seek Him today, confess to God if your eyes have been somewhere other than on Him. Commit to thankfulness and humility rather than complaining and judging. Commit to buildi...

The Satanic Temple (TST) made a name for itself In 2021 by putting a display of Baphomet , a twisted creature with a goat head on a sub-human body , in the Illinois capitol building. As a Christmas decoration, it sat in swaddling clothes next to a creche of Jesus in the manger. This is not the first time TST has risen above the din of anti-Christian rhetoric in America.  I believe The Satanic Temp...

Our verse for today is from Matthew 6:28-30, " So why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little f...

Our verse for today comes from Genesis 32:7, " So Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two companies. " As we seek Him today, let the hurt or distress that you're going through turn you to the One who knows the beginning from the end. Commit your love to Him, and walk by faith and not by sigh...

Our verse for today comes from John 21:4, “But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.” s we seek Him today, look for Jesus when the morning comes, when the storms blow, and every time in between. Experience the peace of walking by faith. "Let us know what you think."

I have responded to about 8 readers a day who have commented on our articles posted on Medium . These conversations have impacted my views on many issues. My Biblical Christian theology has been strengthened while my view of the lostness of our country has sadly been confirmed. Medium is a very large (over 60 million monthly readers) and predominately anti-Christian blog site which does not repres...

Our verse for today comes from 2 Kings 20:6, “And I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for My own sake, and for the sake of My servant David.” As we seek Him today, dwell on the blessings God has given you. Don’t rush past them, but dwell on them in your hearts and let His Spirit overtake you. &quo...

My wife and I conducted GriefShare classes through our church for a number of years. GriefShare is a wonderful Biblical Christian counseling ministry, focused primarily on helping people deal with the loss of loved ones.  Further, I am sure many Pastors who spend more time counseling members that preparing for their Sunday sermon would strongly disagree with me (at least I hope they would). But th...

On February 25, 2022, China's Supreme "Peoples" Court established the use of cryptocurrency for fundraising as illegal , punishable by up to 10 years in prison . This is not the first ruling by the court restricting crypto. Back in 2013, the government banned their banks from dealing in bitcoin. Further, in 2017, digital tokens of all kinds were banned in the raising of capital and,...

Our verse for today comes from John 21:10, “Jesus said to them, ‘Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.’” As we seek Him today, number your blessings, and see how impossible it is to out-give God. "Let us know what you think."

Our verse for today comes from Mark 1:17, " Then Jesus said to them, 'Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.' " As we seek Him today, let today's verse transform your plans and intentions. Think about following Him, and where fishing for men is on your priority list. "Let us know what you think."

Our verse for today comes from John 21:15, “So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?’ He said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.’ He said to him, ‘Feed My lambs.’” As we seek Him today, provide the loving environment for another to share their burden with you. And if you’re burdened, trust the work of the Spirit t...

Our verse for today comes from Ephesians 4:22-24, " Put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. " As we seek Him today, look forward to a wonderful day of enjoying your new self. Remind...

In 1 Cor. 9:22 Paul, speaking to the church in Corinth makes the point that there are many ways to fulfill the Great Commission (Matt. 28:19). My testimony includes a long road of apologetics, or a logical defense of God's truths, finally leading to an intellectual acceptance (head knowledge) which was followed by my true salvation (heart knowledge). From that perspective, I think some (perha...

enter the world. Of course there are Biblical Christian responses to this argument related to the need for mankind to understand love by its juxtaposition against evil. However that brings up the questions on the level of satisfaction God had with Adam and Even prior to the fall, the reason for the Flood, and actually the creation of evil from non-evil when Lucifer fell.  Regardless of your approa...

Where should we draw the line in sharing God's truth? God calls us to tell others about Him and what His Son did on the cross by paying for our sins so that those who see Jesus as Lord and Savior would be saved for eternity. As teachers or proclaimers of that truth, we need to be careful that we help seekers find God, rather than drive a deeper wedge into their resistance toward Him.  "L...
