Revelation is such a dramatic book. An apocalyptic vision. The last days of the earth. But there’s so much to understand before “viewing” that revelation. Today, we have movies. Maybe previews or social media videos to get us to watch it. But not 2,000 years ago! Revelation was delivered on scrolls. To the seven churches of Asia.

So far in this series, we’ve seen Habakkuk ask God a question. God responds. He actually got an answer from God. But then he didn’t seem to like the answer. So now what? Will God strike Habakkuk dead? Will He answer yet again? Or will God maybe turn away in anger or disgust and leave Habakkuk stewing?

What is the book of Revelation in the Bible? Sounds like a weird question. Everyone knows what it is, don’t they? But how many of you have read and really figured out the opening sections: the Prologue and the Greeting? For that matter, how many realize there’s no “s” on the end of Revelation? It’s one revelation, not a whole bunch of them.
The Book of Revelation, often misunderstood, is an unveiling of divine truths rather than a mere foretelling of apocalyptic events. It opens with a prologue and greeting that emphasize the importance of truly reading and understanding its contents, as well as clarifying common misconceptions.

No, that’s not a typo in the title. I am really asking “Why should Trump attack on anti-Christian bias worry Christians?” Of course, he’ll go after things non-Christians say. But there’s something even worse than that. He will also launch attacks on Christians who actually follow what Jesus taught instead of towing the MAGA Christian line.

I just watched the landing of NASA’s Perseverance on BBC. An amazing accomplishment. Katty and Christian were all excited about it. Everyone they interviewed was celebrating and grinning from ear to ear. As I was watching the people in NASA’s control room, I couldn’t help but notice some words on the wall: Dare Mighty Things. But when all was said and done, I couldn’t help but wonder – why not Dare Mightier Things?

What is faith? In this specific case, what is Christian faith? People have lots of ideas about that. Some think faith is blind. Others may think the reasoning behind Christian faith is circular logic. Others believe Christian faith is the truth.
Are we the good Samaritan? Or the robber? We are all one or the other. There’s no saying that we’ve never been in the scenario Jesus painted. Because we’re in. Right now. Every. Single. one. of. us. Everyone!

There was a series on crosswalk.com earlier this year. 10 Ways We May Be Destroying Our Churches. Of course, there are more than ten. So, I borrowed the thought and called my series Ways people in church destroy churches from the inside.

I’ve been doing this for more than a dozen years now. And I’ve never actually written anything on what the site is about. It seemed obvious to me. And yet, I guess it really isn’t obvious to everyone. Just like the Bible’s not obvious to everyone. So now, here’s God versus religion: faith, love and trust in God. What this site is really about.

The Psalm says, “We wait in hope for the Lord, He is our help and our shield”. But what does that really mean? The Lord is our help and shield to do what, exactly? What’s the goal? And who/what are we shielded from?
When you read the entire Psalm, it’s obviously praising God. It’s like a worship song. But, if all we do is read the last few verses, we might not realize that.

But, to help us do what? More
