Wow, every time I go to certain places, I can't stop double-checking to make sure I have a round in the chambers. Yeah, that's right, chambers with an "s". One on the ankle, one on the hip. Movie theaters are often filled with very unsettling characters that seem on the brink of violence. But, turns out, most theaters have a ...

LOL, yeah, if I was starting at Steeplemedia today, I guess I might sign up as Viret9 or something like that. Things change quickly in life, yes? Busy is good, especially with the economy having left the tracks. Really, the taxation issue is just one important part of what happens when a civil magistrate strays outside of its God-given boundaries. ...

Wesley, so good to hear from you again. I do hope you and yours are well these days, resting in His great and unshakeable comfort toward us in Christ our Savior and Lord. Thank you for your interest in this discussion, and as always, thank you for keeping us both focused upon Holy Scripture. I hope we can make some headway together in our Father's ...

God commands for His people to establish an economy that redistributes wealth. God commands those who own land to open their fields for gleaning. God commands that a portion of the tithe be given directly to a worthy poor person/family to lift them out of poverty. God commands that the local Christian assembly use its stored resources to assist ...

Really, help me out. Does the constitution say anything about marriage as a basic right? If not, does the US government have any jurisdiction over marriage? I mean, if a state wants to let humans marry pine trees, what business is it of the US government? Furthermore, does the Bible give any authority to the civil magistrate (at any level) to ...

Greetings, steeplefriends. Hope you are all well, clinging to Christ and walking in His ways. How has everyone been?

This teaching is about 55 minutes long. It is an exposition of John 3: 1 - 20. It is about Nicodemus, regeneration, free will and holiness. Any and all feedback appreciated, steeplefriends. May the Lord bless His Word going forth. B8

In Matthew 7, Jesus said, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare ...

The Lord Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, left the infinite glory of heaven and became flesh, putting on all the difficulties of our frame, and experiencing all the details of life in this realm, save sin. As He was conceived in the virgin womb, Eternity stepped into time. As He parted the womb as a Holy newborn, Omnipotence embraced ...

G&T: Thanks for your kind response. God is not the source of evil, AND He is absolutely sovereign over all events. Using words like "allow" in contrast to "foreordained will" does not make any sense to me. God sees all things, yes? Before they occur, yes? So, if God could stop something and He does not, then I see no ...
