Dr. Benjamin Carson: God’s Man For Such A Time As This
The 2016 presidential landscape is permeated with the aura of religious sentiments. Particularly on the Republican side, religion seems to be the defining criterion in the race for the White House. The candidates, declared and undeclared, are bombarded with their views on faith and morality. Same sex marriage is at the top of the list; but issues such as abortion and religious liberty continue to play major roles in the drama of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Ted Cruz, the first Republican to declare his run for the presidency, epitomizes this sentiment. Not only did he choose to announce
In opposition to God
One of the most overlooked prophetic events that Jesus Christ shared with His disciples (and with us today), when asked what would be the signs of His coming and of the end of the world, is the Abomination of Desolation spoken of by the Prophet Daniel (Matthew 24:15). The Abomination of Desolation may be a mystery to many and there is much speculation surrounding it. But Jesus was simply referring to a system of salvation that would be set up which is contrary and in opposition to His ONLY way of salvation, i.e. by God’s grace through faith
Contemplating Calvary…the truth about Easter
Easter is the time of the year that we hear a lot about the cross of Calvary. But what does it really mean? To some, it is a good luck charm to be worn around the neck. Yet others display it as evidence that they are Christians. It has become a decorative piece to adorn church edifices. To too many, the cross is an object to be worshipped. None of this, however, embodies what God intended this emblem of supreme sacrifice to be. The cross of Calvary was not designed to be taken lightly as so many take it to
A Greater Storm Is Coming
In recent times, there has been increasing attacks on the word of God. More and more, men are making sin to be righteousness and calling righteousness sin. Religious Liberty is at a crossroad as it becomes ever so difficult to honor God as one’s conscience dictates. To stand for truth and righteousness is to be maligned by the proponents of popular culture. This is all leading to a tectonic crisis of apocalyptic proportions. It is verily a storm, one that is unlike any other, that is brewing on the horizon of salvation history. One famous Bible
Seven Reasons Why You Can Trust the Bible
The Bible is a precious book. It is a unique book, truly like none other. It makes the drunkard sober. It takes the liar and make him truthful. It takes the lady of the night and makes her a jewel in the crown of its author. It makes the profligate honest. The Bible has been translated into more languages, tongues and dialects than any other book. The Bible is its own expositor. It is verily the word of God. All human teachings are subordinate to it. It needs no man’s philosophy, theology, nor ideology to comprehend its
Faith and the Bible
In a recent survey by the Pew Research Center, an organization which follows and reports on religious and other cultural trends, it was reported that more than 78% of mainline Protestants believe that humans have evolved over time. What’s more puzzling about this report is that a significant number of those who hold this belief also believe that a supreme being guided this evolutionary process. In plain language, this means that more than ¾ of people who call themselves Christians do not believe in the Bible record of creation. Not believing in the Biblical creation leads to gross
