The First “Hallelujah” in Psalms (Psalm 104:35)

March 13, 2023 by Kenneth Yates in Blog - Creation, Hallelujah, Psalm 104, Rev 19:1-6, Worship

Psalm 104 is a song that praises God for His creation. Every living creature benefits from what He has done. He has given us life, water, food, and places to live. He even provides us things that are not necessary for survival, such as wine and oil, in order to make our lives merrier. In

A Ray of Light in the Selective Service? (Romans 1:21)

November 1, 2022 by Kenneth Yates in Blog - Creation, Darkness, depravity, hypocrisy, Romans 1

In Romans 1, Paul discusses the spiritual darkness that descends upon people when they reject what is right before their eyes. Much of the discussion deals with Creation and the created order. Creation itself shouts out that there is a Creator and that there are established sexual boundaries. Throughout history, however, mankind has denied these

The Darkness at the Cross: Part 2 (Mark 15:33)

August 18, 2022 by Kenneth Yates in Blog - Creation, Darkness, Judgment, Sin

In part 1, I argued that the centurion at the foot of the cross wisely considered the darkness at the time of Christ’s death and came to some surprisingly good conclusions about who Jesus is.

J.K. Rowling, famed author of the Harry Potter series, was recently attacked (again) by members of the transsexual movement. She shared a headline that read: “Creating a more equal post-COVID-19 world for people who menstruate.” To which Rowling commented, “‘People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help

Created and Re-Created Freely

November 27, 2018 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Creation, Martin Luther, Oswald Bayer

“Luther’s doctrine of justification has frequently been attacked for being monotonous, empty, and even obsessive.” So notes Oswald Bayer in his article, “Justification as the Basis and Boundary of Theology.” Sound familiar? GES’s emphasis on the promise of everlasting life has faced the same criticism. Bayer continues to explain that Emmanuel Swedenborg caricatured Lutherans in

Genesis 1-3 and Everlasting Salvation

April 26, 2018 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Creation, eternal life, Genesis, The fall

Does the Bible emphasize the eternality of salvation? When OT and NT people thought of salvation, was “living forever” a new idea or a basic one? Is that something they believed in God to provide?
