Grace, Faith, and the Freedom to Choose: Rethinking Salvation Beyond the Debate
A Struggle Over Words “If you can lose your salvation, then you earned it.” “But if you can’t leave, then you never really had free will.” These aren’t just clever quips tossed around in a theological debate – they reflect two fundamentally different views of salvation, grace, and human responsibility. Often, the disagreement comes down to a struggle over words. What does it mean to…
Once Saved, Always Saved? Rethinking What Salvation Really Means
A Life-or-Death Question “Once saved, always saved” is a comforting phrase – on the surface. It promises eternal security, a done deal with no strings attached. But is that what the Bible actually teaches? For something as important as salvation, we should be sure. Eternal life isn’t a theory – it’s the difference between life and death. So let’s walk through what Scripture says, and…
Why We Observe the Passover at the Beginning of the 14th Day
The timing of Passover observance has been debated for millennia. Today, many Jews and Christians who keep the Passover do so at the end of the 14th day of the first month, as the 15th begins. This timing is often based on a particular interpretation of the term “twilight” in Exodus 12:6, which some understand to mean the period between late afternoon and sunset –…
The Great Tribulation: 7 Years or 3.5?
A Widely Held Belief – But Is It Biblical? Many Christians today believe the Great Tribulation will last seven years. This idea is deeply embedded in popular end-times teachings, prophetic charts, and even Christian fiction. But is it actually what the Bible says? This article explores the origins of the seven-year tribulation theory, how it developed from an interpretation of the 70 Weeks Prophecy in…
A God of Order in a World of Chaos
We live in a world that feels increasingly chaotic – morally, politically, spiritually. Truth is often subjective, justice is debated, and order feels like a distant memory. Yet from the first words of Scripture, we’re introduced to a God whose very nature is the opposite of confusion. The Bible doesn’t begin with uncertainty, but with intention: “In the beginning, God created…” What follows is not…
Why Passover Still Matters: Rehearsing God’s Plan for Humanity
For most Christians today, the term “Passover” feels like it belongs to another religion altogether – something Jewish, ancient, and unnecessary for those under grace. Easter is widely accepted as the Christian commemoration of Jesus’ death and resurrection, while the Passover is seen as a shadow long gone, fulfilled and discarded. Yet Jesus Himself said something striking just hours before His crucifixion: “With fervent desire…
How Should a Man View a Woman?
Reclaiming Biblical Masculinity and Purpose How should a man view a woman? It’s a question few ask – but one that desperately needs an answer. In today’s world, the relationship between men and women has been distorted, leaving many confused, broken, and searching for truth. From a young age, boys are bombarded with sexualized images of women at a scale never before seen in human…
Self-Objectification vs Biblical Identity: A Better Way Forward
Self-Objectification Disguised as Empowerment I grew up hearing one message repeated over and over to young men: “Stop viewing women as sexual objects.” It was a needed message. Men needed to be told to see women as human beings – daughters, sisters, mothers, made in the image of God. I wrote more on that in How Should a Man View a Woman? Reclaiming What’s Been…
