The Gospel Of Repentance

Postmodernism means after Modernism. Modernism is the period of time from approximately 1890-1945. This period covered from before World War I to the end of World War II. Modernism is the ideology that human philosophy is king.  In other words, we can understand humanity and life apart from divine revelation through human reason and the sciences - the rejection of Biblical truth. Postmodernism the spawn of modernism says that truth is relative and subjective. In other words, a common phrase postmodernists use is, “that may be true for you, but not for me!” The reason for this mindest is they say data is ever-changing, so no absolute conclusions can be drawn. As a result, the postmodernist concludes there are no absolute conclusions because absolute truth and knowledge are unknowable. What is the tragic result of this mindset? Everyone decides for themselves what is true. In non-essential areas such as food, fashion, movies, music, etc relativity is fine. Each can have his or her ...

I'll ask the question a second time. Will things in this life ever get better? That depends upon your position in Christ. Many are trying their best to improve our environment and our world. Let me explain. For instance, we have environmentalists and others who want us to recycle, drive eco-friendly cars, ride on fuel efficient buses so that we do not pollute more our already contaminated environment; do not cut down any more trees so that we do not lose our supply of oxygen, pay our bills electronically so that we do not have to be sent a paper bill in the mail and the list goes on. All of these things are good gestures and should be applauded. We should do whatever it takes to preserve and use of our natural resources wisely. It is good stewardship however, in the end all these efforts will come to naught.                              ...

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because all sinned.                                                                                                                                                 ...

The U.S Supreme Court made a monumental ruling on Friday June 26 th , 2015. In a 5-4 decision between the Supreme Court Justices, legislation was passed legalizing same sex marriages nationwide. Translating my title of the article from numeric to alpha it equals five is greater than three hundred million. Simply meaning that five judges made a decision that affects over three hundred million Americans.    In the eyes of many Americans especially homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders, this infamous decision was most liberating. They have declared not legalizing same sex marriage as unfair and bigoted. Anyone who disagrees with their lifestyle is regarded as intolerant and homophobic. They have every right to hate our lifestyle (true believers) without us retaliating, but when we disagree with theirs we are homophobic? That’s a double standard.   The state of California on November 4 th , 2008 [1]   voted for acknowledging marriage as only bet...

All of us often wonder why we go through hard times don’t we? Yes we do. Some of it is our own doing, bad choices we make. Some of it is sovereignly brought about by God Almighty to test, try and prove us in a particular area of our lives – that our faith in Him might increase (Gen 22; James 1:2-4,12). And sadly, there are times that people do harmful things to us, and our love ones that bring suffering in our lives.  The word suffer has various meanings in the Bible. One meaning is to permit. Another meaning is to be ill-treated, to suffer injustice, to bear up under, to endure hardship, etc. Well, let’s look at some examples in God’s word of those that suffered. Job’s Suffering In the book of Job, God allowed Satan to afflict Job (Job 1 & 2). This suffering was divinely ordained. Oddly though, Job never knew why he suffered so much although his so-called friends claimed they had the answers to why he did.  Neither Job nor his companions knew God and Satan...
