Rejoice not when your enemy falls.

I remember many times when I would think about the destruction of the wicked and the judgement of God with much gladness. On one hand, we know that everything God does is good and just, and this includes His vengeance. Maybe there is a time to rejoice. When enemies fall, Jesus is often exalted. RejoicingContinue reading “Rejoice not when your enemy falls.”

An Unnamed Lamentation of a Servant of Jesus Christ

I can almost hear it. The sound of many singing pop Christian songs to the Lord, muffled through the blood that gurgles in their throats—the blood of many who reject Jesus in sincerity. They drown in it, all the while praising God in vain, thinking themselves alive and accepted. Lord have mercy. Our world isContinue reading “An Unnamed Lamentation of a Servant of Jesus Christ”

Sons of Amnon

There are many sons of Amnon in a spiritual sense in this world. They force evil onto others, motivated by their own lusts. Despite protests and warnings of their foolishness, they continue. Once the evil is done, they then hate those who they did evil unto, as represented by Tamar. There are many daughters ofContinue reading “Sons of Amnon”

Envy is a Hell of a Thing

Envy is a hell of a thing. Would you be surprised to know… The Red Dragon’s heart is not red, but green? Sick. Sick. Sick with envy. Envy is a hell of a thing. For envy, Cain slew Abel. Abel’s blood ran red and cried out to God. Envy is a hell of a thing.Continue reading “Envy is a Hell of a Thing”

Considering Proverbs 11:2

When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. This reminds me of something Jesus said. “I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.” In Matthew Chapter 11,Continue reading “Considering Proverbs 11:2”

My Use of “Man” Statements Do Not Indicate a Critical Stance Against the “Patriarchy.”

Do any of you wonder why I use the term “man” or “men” when speaking of corruption within the church and its leadership? Do you suppose that I am among those who want to overthrow the “patriarchy?” I don’t know much about these arguments. I’m not even sure what the “patriarchy” is, but I haveContinue reading “My Use of “Man” Statements Do Not Indicate a Critical Stance Against the “Patriarchy.””

Exercising in Righteous Judgment

Originally posted on June 6, 2018 at KindlingTruth.com Should a Christian be judgmental? We hear it all the time, “judge not that you be not judged.” As Christians, we are commanded to judge, but we are to be careful in the judgments we make with an understanding that “with what judgment you judge, you willContinue reading “Exercising in Righteous Judgment”

Exercising in Faith: Learning to Trust in The Lord

As a Christian, faith and trust go hand in hand. As our faith is exercised, tested, and made stronger, we see this to be true.

WeContinue reading “Exercising in Faith: Learning to Trust in The Lord”

Exercising in Faith

When we think of the “end times” persecution of Christians, what comes to mind when considering faith? For many, we believe that once we make our declaration of faith, we are good to go.
