Listen, the problem isn’t that we don’t have enough knowledge. The problem is we’ve got a head full of truth and a heart that hasn’t bowed to it. Scripture says, “Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth” ~1 Corinthians 8:1. We’ve learned how to talk about God without actually walking with...
Most people assume they’re fine because they’re around truth. They hear it, agree with it, and sit comfortably near it. But Scripture presses a harder question that cuts through all of that: are you actually in the faith, or just close to it?
Paul says plainly, “Examine yourselves, whether ye...

It would have been better for that man if he had not been born. ~ Mark 14:21 ESV
The reason for this is the immense suffering that Judas will endure in hell, which is unparalleled. The harshest penalties are designated for Judas and those who share his fate (Hebrews 10:29). This...
Ten Shekels And A Shirt is one of my favorite sermons. See what you think of it. Many profess Christ because they want relief, peace, purpose, or heaven. This sermon confronts a terrifying possibility. A man can want salvation and still not want God.
From Judges 17, religion becomes a tool. A...

The news this week about the school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, Canada is heartbreaking. An 18-year-old who had a history of mental instability killed family members and then attacked a school, leaving multiple students and a teacher dead before taking their own life.

Matthew 2:13-3:6
The road Matthew lays out from Egypt to the Jordan is not a polished church hallway. It is a dusty trail with danger on one end and repentance on the other. When God warns Joseph to take the child and flee, Joseph does not call a meeting or ask for a second opinion. He gets up...
The missing word in today’s Gospel is repentance. When was the last time you heard someone preach repentance? If you had to guess, it’s been a long time for most of us. But flip open the Bible and you’ll find the word on every page. John the Baptist preached, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven...
The Bible is clear that any claim of faith without repentance is a false claim. When Jesus started His ministry, what was the message He preached? “Repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15). Repentance (Greek, metanoeō) is the changing of one’s mind that leads to a change in direction. It...
The Bible is not on trial. Man is. Jesus said, “the scripture cannot be broken” ~John 10:35. God’s Word does not bow before modern skepticism. It exposes the heart and stands forever. The question is not whether Scripture will stand. It will. The question is whether we will stand with it.
When God warns you, don’t brush it off. Answer Him while you still can, because a hardened heart doesn’t stay neutral, it moves toward judgment. Scripture is clear: “Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts” ~Hebrews 3:15, and again, “He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy” ~Proverbs 29:1.
