Archaeology & Outsiders, When History Backs the Bible

One of the oldest skeptic taunts is this, “If the Bible’s so true, where’s the proof outside its pages?” Okay, tell that to the stones, shards, and steles that refuse to stay silent. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”— Psalm 119:105 We’re not wandering in the dark. Pontius Pilate’s Stone.Inscribed “Pontius Pilate, Prefect of Judea”. The only archaeological record of the…

Can You Trust the Manuscripts?

One of the oldest skeptic digs is this, “We’ve got so many manuscripts and so many translations, how can you know what the originals even said?” Really? Tell that to the piles of papyrus and parchments that put every other ancient text to shame. “The words of the LORD are pure words; as silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.”— Psalm 12:6 We aren’t fumbling in the…

We’re Not Waiting on the Kingdom, The Kingdom’s Waiting on Us

What if Jesus isn’t waiting to return?What if He’s waiting on us to rise? Turns out, He is. The Bible doesn’t paint a picture of a church hiding out until the trumpet blows.It gives us a King who reigns now. “The Lord says to my Lord: ‘Sit at my right hand,until I make your enemies your footstool.’”— Psalm 110:1 A Gospel that advances. “And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in…

If the Gates of Hell Are Standing, It’s Because We’re Not Kicking

Let’s kill a myth.“The world’s just getting worse, and there’s nothing we can do about it.” False.That’s not surrender.That’s spiritual laziness with a halo slapped on top. Jesus didn’t say the Church would barely survive.He said we’d overcome. “I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”— Matthew 16:18 Now read that again. Gates. Don’t. Attack.They’re…

Glorified Bodies Are Not a Prerequisite for Obedience

One of the most bizarre doctrines floating around is this idea,“We can’t really rule or reign until we have glorified bodies.” Really? Tell that to the early Church.Who, in their un-glorified, persecuted, fragile flesh…Turned the world upside down. “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also…”— Acts 17:6 They didn’t wait for resurrection power someday.They lived in…

Stop Blaming the Devil

Every time something goes wrong, someone says,“Well, Satan’s the ruler of this world…” And while that used to be true.That’s not the whole story anymore. “Now is the judgment of this world;now will the ruler of this world be cast out.”— John 12:31 Jesus said that before the cross.At Calvary, Satan was publicly humiliated. “He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by…

The Great Commission Isn’t a Rescue Mission It’s a Takeover

Somewhere along the way, we shrank the Great Commission down to a sinner’s prayer and a pamphlet. Just get saved.Escape hell.Jesus will handle the rest. That’s not what Jesus said.That’s not how the apostles lived.And that’s not how His Kingdom spreads. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,baptizing them…teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”— Matthew…

Jesus Isn’t Waiting

We love to talk about the return of Christ. We make movies about it.Write books.Chart timelines.Speculate endlessly. And while we sit in our holy huddle waiting for Jesus to come back and fix everything, His enemies run wild, and His people keep quiet. Here’s a question nobody’s asking. What if Jesus isn’t waiting to return?What if He’s waiting on us? “The Lord says to my Lord: ‘Sit at my…

It Was Never a Test

You’ve heard the story preached a hundred times, “God tested Abraham’s faith by commanding him to sacrifice Isaac.” But there’s something deeper here, a truth we often miss. Because, let’s always remember something very crucial about God. He is sovereign. He already knew Abraham’s heart. He already saw Abraham’s obedience. He already knew exactly how this would end. This wasn’t God nervously…

Rome’s Greatest Idol

The Pope.“Holy Father.”“Vicar of Christ.”Pontiff.Successor of Peter. Rome’s ultimate idol. The highest pinnacle of heresy, deception, greed, and pride. Let’s be clear.He is none of those things. He is not Christ’s representative.He is not Peter’s successor.He has no spiritual authority over the Church. The pope’s throne is built on a foundation of lies, greed, power, and idolatry. Twisting…

Rome's Greatest Blasphemy

If you thought bowing before statues was idolatry,wait until you see what Rome does at Mass. They literally worship a piece of bread. Catholicism teaches the Eucharist (communion wafer) isn’t just a symbol, it literally becomes the flesh of Christ through “transubstantiation.” They say the wafer is God.They say you must bow to it.They say you must worship it. But Jesus says clearly, “You…

The Lie of Purgatory And the Truth About Sheol

Let’s get something straight from the start. Sheol was real.Purgatory is not. They’re not the same.One is biblical.One is a man made lie.In the Old Testament, believers and unbelievers alike went to Sheol or Hades, the general place of the dead. It was a waiting place, temporary and divided.Abraham’s Bosom, comfort and rest for the faithful.Place of torment, punishment for the…

Mary Worship and the Saints

Call it veneration, devotion, or respect all you want.But bowing before statues, whispering prayers to Mary,and invoking saints as if they’re heavenly call centers is idolatry. And God has spoken clearly, “You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image… You shall not bow down to them or serve them.”— Exodus 20:3–5 It doesn’t matter what your priest…

The Idolatry of Rome

You can dress it in gold, incense, cathedrals, and Latin,but idolatry is still idolatry. Rome is not the church Jesus built.It is not a beacon of light.It is not the guardian of truth.It is the biggest religious deception the world has ever seen. “They exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator…”— Romans 1:25 That’s what Catholicism…

Do All Dogs Go to Heaven?

We’ve all wondered it.Especially after saying goodbye.Especially after holding their paw or scratching behind their ears one last time.Especially when the silence in the house hits harder than we thought it would. Do all dogs go to heaven? The Bible doesn’t give a full breakdown of what happens to pets when they die.There’s no verse that says, “Yea, thy golden retriever shall lie beside the…

What This All Means for You

We’ve torn down some walls. We’ve exposed false systems.We’ve untangled hype from Scripture.We’ve recentered everything on Jesus where it belonged all along. But this isn’t just a theology lesson. This is about you. You’ve been told the Bible is a collection of ages, programs, charts, and mysteries. But the truth is simpler.And better. “For all the promises of God find their Yes in Him.”— 2…

But Doesn’t Revelation Say…?

You’ve probably heard it your whole life, “Jesus is coming any day now.”“The signs are all lining up.”“Russia, Israel, earthquakes, blood moons, red heifers, Revelation is happening before our eyes!” But here’s the problem.Most people read Revelation like it’s a newspaper.They treat it like a cosmic fortune cookie, not a Christ-exalting book of prophecy. And when they say, “Doesn’t Revelation…
