Did you know that even the oldest, godliest believers can doubt God…and be disciplined for it? If you were a member of the clergy, a priest of God, and a blameless man who had served the Lord for many decades, and an angel appeared to you announcing that God heard your prayer and would answer […]
So it was, that Zacharias was serving as priest before God in the order of his division, when his lot fell to burn incense when he went into the Temple of the Lord. There were approximately 18,000-20,000 priests in Israel (Bock, Luke, p. 48; Swindoll, Luke, p. 33), who served in rotation. Even with the subdivisions, […]
David hace una buena pregunta sobre Santiago 2:14-17: Estoy haciendo un curso en línea en DTS [Dallas Theological Seminary — Seminario Teológico de Dallas] sobre Santiago, impartido por el Dr. Stanley Toussaint. He aprendido con GES que el regalo gratuito de la vida se obtiene solamente a través de la fe en Cristo. El Dr. […]
And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness (2 Thess 2:11-12). David asks this tough question: I listened to a sermon preached by Tiff Shuttlesworth on the Tribulation. At the […]

Justin asks, “If God knew Adam was going to follow Satan, why did He allow Satan to do so? Doesn’t this make it a set up?” Yes, God knew that Adam was going to sin when He allowed the serpent to tempt Eve. But does that mean God set up Adam to fail? It depends […]
During the days of Herod, there was a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. Presumably, Luke had verified this detail, as could Theophilus, emphasizing the historicity of these events. Why did it mean for Zacharias to be in the division of Abijah? Israel had thousands of priests, but only one temple, which created a […]
“…mas otros fueron atormentados, no aceptando el rescate, a fin de obtener mejor resurrección” (Heb 11:35-39). Recientemente tuve una conversación con unos amigos sobre una película que acaba de salir en aquel momento. Es una película animada basada en una fiesta religiosa en México llamada El día de los muertos. La película se llama Coco. […]
Gary asks a great question in response to a blog I wrote on Matt 7:21-23: Is it possible that these were unbelievers doing miracles by the power of Satan? The devil is not against good; he’s against God. If he can deceive people through miracles, keeping them from the truth, I’m thinking he’d do it. […]
Charles Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities opens with the memorable line, “It was the best of the times, it was the worst of times…” Some periods are infamous for their difficulty. Merely naming the age evokes the hard times that people experienced, as with the Irish Potato Famine, the Holodomor, the Great Depression, Vietnam, […]
We have all heard the expression “slicing the bologna thin.” It means that a person is examining something too closely, even to the point of obsession. It can be used positively: “He really...
