What’s up with the name “Disciple Dojo”??Great question! One of my lifelong passions has been studying the martial arts. And the place where you study and train in martial arts is a Dojo. Christian Discipleship is similar to martial arts training (if you don’t believe me, just ask Paul–he says so himself in his letter to Christians in ancient Corinth [1Cor. 9:26-27]!). We have a Sensei (teacher): Jesus. We have a katana (sword): Scripture.

Part 3 - Should the Rapture be 'Left Behind'? 20.06.2015

Are we living in the “End Times”? When is the “Millennium”? What about the “Great Tribulation”? Who or what is the “Antichrist”?

Who are the 144,000 in Revelation? 16.06.2015

The book of Revelation is filed with numbers and symbolic imagery...which has led to much speculation over the centuries by interested (and imaginiative!) readers. One number that has generated a good bit of speculation is the "144,000" from the tribes of Israel John sees in his vision. Who are these people? End times believers? Jews who come to faith during the Tribulation? Or something else enti...

Love doesn't mean what we think it means 07.06.2015

The term "Love" has become of the most bland and meaningless words in the English language: "I love my family"/"I love Oatmeal Cream Pies"/"I love God"/"I love the Simpsons" All of the above are true for me...but do I have any idea what the Bible is describing when it speaks of "love"? Most people don't...do you?

Wrestle, dig, or get tossed around! 06.06.2015

Prayer Uncensored 06.06.2015

What was Jesus thinking on the Cross? 06.06.2015

What was going through Jesus' mind as he hung on the cross? Defeat? Fear? Abandonment? Was his cry to God a cry of despair? A Hebrew prayer song written 1,000 years Jesus ever lived gives us a whole new perspective on what he might have been thinking...

What does the Bible being 'Inspired' mean? 06.06.2015

Paul, Muhammed, & Joseph Smith 06.06.2015

People often put forth new findings or "hidden" teachings about Jesus...some of which originate from angelic visions or supernatural encounters. What is the follower of Jesus to make of such claims? How do we know what we believe is not enhanced or completed by later revelations such as those of Muhammed or Joseph Smith (both of whom claimed angelic origin for their respective messages)? In this m...

The Woman, The Dragon, & The Cross 06.06.2015

What happened on the Old Rugged Cross? Was it just about forgiveness from Sin so that we could go to Heaven? In this message we look at a seemingly-bizarre story about a woman and a dragon found in the book of Revelation and discover that the Cross is about much more than Jesus "dying for our sins"...

Can I Know God's Will For MY Life? 06.06.2015
