Apples of Gold - May 21

May 21, 2025

If we are totally depraved and can make no choice to do good, then this world would be hell, with unmitigated evil rampant! Yet there are plenty of examples of people who sacrifice their comfort, time, money, and even their lives to help others. All through the Bible, God pleads...Read more

Witness to the sufficiency of Scripture

May 20, 2025

It’s not uncommon for me to listen to sermons, podcasts, or music while I work around the house. It keeps me working on my mundane tasks while using my mind for things far more satisfying than folding laundry or cleaning a kitchen. Engaging my mind in worship feels like redeeming...Read more

Too many people who specialize in bleakness are held by a web of their own manufacture. To be obsessed with one’s feelings is hardly an honest expression of humanity and is often just self-aggrandizement: “Look at me, see how pitiful I am!” Yes, this world is full of pain, disappointment,...Read more

Nuggets from Cosmos—What’s Wrong with Fundamentalism?

May 19, 2025

Hatred of fundamentalism is either ill-informed or part of a deliberate smear campaign against biblical Christianity. There is nothing wrong with fundamentalism in itself.

Elijah did not hear God in the wind, the fire, or the earthquake, but he did hear Him—and powerfully—in the still, small voice. Scripture does exhort us to speak to each other in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. We do not praise and worship through someone else’s lips—only through our...Read more

Nuggets from Cosmos, Creator, and Human Destiny

May 17, 2025

Fundamentalism has gotten a bad rap. The “fundamentalism” that requires a Muslim terrorist to blow himself up in order to kill others and thereby reach Islam ’s paradise is not the “fundamentalism” that causes a Christian to obey the teachings of Jesus Christ and stand upon biblical principles. The issue...Read more

Forget messages alleging to be from angels. The Scriptures warn us concerning the devil and his tactics. Second Corinthians 11:13–15 reveals that one of the adversary’s favorite roles is to present himself as an angel of light. Paul further warned us in Galatians:1:8 But though we, or an angel from...Read more

Isn’t it interesting that whenever man takes liberties with the biblical account and begins speculating, the final product is a diminishing of the Word of God? —TBC "Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth." — Titus:1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables,...Read more
