Who is Satan? He's known as the devil and Lucifer. "Satan" is actually a title, a position. When you hear something called "satanic", it means whatever it is grounded in evil and darkness. "Lucifer" -- which means "light-bringer" -- was one of God's highest angels. Learn how He fell and what he's still up to. Let's dig in...

It’s the around the year 896 BC and Ahab’s son Ahaziah is king of the northern kingdom of Israel. The Moabites decided that they’ve had enough of Israeli rule (since King David) and they rebel. At the same time, Ahaziah has a terrible accident. However, instead of praying to the One True God of Israel, he rejects “Baal” of the Syrians (Amonites), for “Baal-Zebub” of the Philistines. Ironically, th...

Kings. Israel wanted a king like all the nations around them. So, God gave them Saul . He disobeyed God. Then God anointed David .  Now, David is very old, about 70, and bedridden. Here, we’ll meet  David’s successor to the throne. First, his oldest son, Adonijah, then  the one chosen by God, Solomon. The Books of 1 and 2 Kings serve as a backbone for the rest of the  Bible. Sc...

Crazy King Saul is dead! Long live King David! Ah, not so fast. In the last chapter of 1 Samuel, Saul and his three sons were killed in battle by the Philistines. As  it turns out, Saul had another son, Isbosheth. Probably, he was not exactly a legitimate heir to the throne. In any case, one of Saul’s generals had a different idea besides King David, which makes for an  interesting dilem...

Do you trust God? It’s not easy to surrender EVERYTHING in your life to Him. Here in Psalm 25, King David gives us a beautiful poem that we can pray back to God and at the same time, assure ourselves that if we trust in Him, He’s got our back.

What Happened to the Kennedy Democrats?  I grew up in New York and my parents were Democrats — Kennedy Democrats .  So, when I was old enough to vote in my first presidential election, I  voted for Jimmy Carter. I voted straight party lines every time.  Moreover, I didn’t really look at the candidate — I voted Democrat. I voted for Bill Clinton. Living in Miami at the  tim...

Do you have a pure heart? Jesus told us… …The words you speak come from the heart—that’s what defiles you. 19 For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, all sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander. 20 These are what defile you… Matthew 15:18-20a NLT If our hearts defile us, then how do we get a pure heart? Ah, that’s where the Lord Strong and Mighty comes in. Let’s dig...

One of Jesus’ “I AM” statements was, “ I AM the Good Shepherd .” The 23rd Psalm describes how He takes great care of His sheep. This psalm is not just for reading at funerals or memorial services. It’s a prayer of assurance and trust in your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to whom we owe EVERYTHING. Including our lives, our jobs, what we eat, who we love, and our eternal lives. It’s a short psalm a...

Two years ago I wrote a blog post on the History of Halloween and explained the holiday’s demonic and satanic background — along, too, with the Day of the Dead. The latter aka, Dia de los Muertos, and All Saints Day, which is very popular in Mexico, Latin America, and Arizona, where I live. The purpose was to convince Christians that they should NOT celebrate Halloween. I mean, come on! Don’t we h...

Rosh Hashanah is the first of the 3 Jewish Fall Festivals. Also called the Feast of Trumpets, it signifies a call to repentance.

Shalom doesn’t only mean Peace. It’s way more than that. This is a peace that surpasses all understanding. It’s a peace that comes from God — only from a relationship with YOUR Creator. You can’t find it in the world — nowhere on this earth. No matter how much your try. It’s not found in chakras, meditations, or even a peaceful lake. It’s only found THROUGH JESUS.

A few years ago, there was a lunar eclipse — when the earth moves between the sun and the moon. The moon turns blood red. I looked up and as a stared at it, the first line of this psalm came to mind. That was the only thing I could say. It is a praise psalm to the Glory of God, exclaiming how AWESOME He is and how wonderful the created world around us is. Let’s dig in… Keep reading in my blog wher...

Do you think you are good enough to get into heaven? Think again. The answer is simple: NO! Why? First, Heaven is where God is and you have to be pure, perfect, and HOLY to be in His presence. Unfortunately, we have a sinful nature — we were born that way because of Adam and Eve’s sin in the Garden of Eden . We, by ourselves, can NEVER be pure enough, holy enough, or good enough. We can NEVER be p...

When we are in trouble, we cry out for rescue. If we’re alone, there may be no one to hear you. Who are your enemies? Enemies don’t have to be bad people or evil dictators or villains. They could be the storms and trials of life. Sometimes, we are our own worst enemies. Psalm 18, is a gratitude prayer from David to God in response to his being saved from his enemy, King Saul. It’s also a forward o...

Growing up Catholic, I memorized the Christian Creed, AKA the Apostles or Nicene Creed . It was part of the Catechism. Later, at the Protestant Church, the Nicene Creed was recited as a statement of faith. This Creed was composed by men in 325 AD because Emperor Constantine wanted to have a specific doctrine stating what every Christian would believe in. That just brings up the fact that you can’t...

The Israelites wanted a king just like all their  neighboring pagan nations had. They could have just relied on God, but  no, they asked for a king and God gave them one. He also gave them  prophets, who were the mediators between God and the people. Here we  meet Samuel, God’s first anointed prophet. Then, we meet King Saul,  God’s first anointed king. Problem is, Saul lo...

This is one messy book. The Israelites fall into a vicious cycle that  turns into a downward spiral as they are drawn into idolatry. This  angers God who is a jealous God.

Have you ever been accused of something you didn’t do? I have and it’s a terrible thing, especially as an adult. In this Psalm, which is really a prayer of David, He pleads for justice.
