In July 2021, my wife and I climbed a volcano. We drove to the Grand Canyon for vacation. Before we left the Canyon, we decided to stop at any attractions that seemed interesting on the drive home. In New Mexico, we saw signs for the "Ice Cave & Bandera Volcano." Off to the volcano we … Continue reading Is It Just A T-Shirt?
Peter
Take It Or Leave It
God starts His Word with a great take it or leave it statement. Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Either God created everything, or He did not. The theory of evolution puts doubt in people's minds about the validity of Genesis 1:1. This doubt begins in kindergarten or before. … Continue reading Take It Or Leave It
Believing VS Believing In
There is a difference between believing something and believing in something. I believe that eating healthy is good for me, but if I believed in eating healthy, I would have consumed far fewer Big Macs and many more salads. If I believed in eating healthy, my eating habits and lifestyle would change. Without a doubt, … Continue reading Believing VS Believing In
The End Never Comes
Last week Preacher's Point ended with the battle of Armageddon and the Second Coming of Christ. Most people believe Armageddon is the end of the world, but that is not the case. This universe we now live in will melt with fervent heat a little more than a thousand years after Armageddon (2 Peter 3:10-13). … Continue reading The End Never Comes
The Reason For The Season
More than likely, you have heard the phrase, "Jesus is the reason for the season," about Christmas. I beg to differ. Looking in the mirror, you will see the reason for Christmas. The previous paragraph will cause some anger with some people, but before you write that nastygram, let us take a step back and … Continue reading The Reason For The Season
Purified Seven Times
Since 1611 the King James Bible was the Bible used by English-speaking people. Around the year 1900, the first modern translations of the English Bible started hitting bookshelves. Many claim that newer translations are easier to read. The Bible tells us, however, our understanding, or lack of understanding, of the Scripture is a spiritual issue, … Continue reading Purified Seven Times
Are There Tears In Heaven?
There are a lot of things that are yet to happen, according to the Bible. Most of the attention is on the rapture, the coming seven-year Tribulation Period, and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. There is little discussion about the events after the Tribulation and the Second Coming. Revelation 20-22 describes the events after … Continue reading Are There Tears In Heaven?
End Times – Really?
Are we in the end times? I reckon the answer may depend more on someone's definition of "end times" than on what is happening in the world. But this column will look at Bible prophecies and current events. In Acts 2, Peter announces the fulfillment of a prophecy from the book of Joel. The prophecy … Continue reading End Times – Really?
The Bible And Social Issues
It would be impossible to cover every social issue in 700-900 words, so we will start with the hot Supreme Court topic, abortion, and see where that leads us. Abortion. God is the creator of all life (Genesis 1; John 1:3; Acts 14:15, 17:24). So, we must ask, does life begin at birth, conception, or … Continue reading The Bible And Social Issues
You Are Priceless
In the early 1990s, a local church with a school suddenly lost its Pastor. The church asked me if I would teach the Pastor's Bible study class for the remainder of the school year. I was happy to oblige. The class contained about twenty-five students from seventh grade through high school seniors. Having no idea … Continue reading You Are Priceless
