Awaken Biblical Prophecy Commentary – Surveillance, AI, & A Child of God

There have been a lot of factors lately that have gotten me thinking about the surveillance state and the role of artificial intelligence as it grows more potent. Intimately coupled with these highly intrusive technologies are the concepts of power and authority. For the Christian, we must consider our response to these issues as the world grows darker, yet knowing the urgency of the hour to accomplish what God would have each of us do in these times.

Biblical Audio Commentary – Reprieve

The story of Nineveh is fascinating, not only in its own right, but because it’s a morality tale for America.  Nineveh was the primary city of the Assyrian empire.  Assyria was noted for its ferocity in battle and for the fact that its victims suffered immensely.  It was not unusual for people in an intended target city of the Assyrians to commit suicide rather than subject themselves to the horrors of what they knew was coming.  Think Hamas on October 7, 2023 with the tortures, rapes, and murders its depraved terrorists committed, rolled into a single nation whose purpose is to pillage, and plunder, and destroy anything in its maniacal desire to take over the world.  Hmmm, sounds like the proposed plan for a Palestinian state comprised of radical Islamists.  But I digress.

Awaken Biblical Prophecy Commentary – A Hard Heart

Doing what I do in this blog is a public endeavor that puts my beliefs and thoughts out for all to see. As you can imagine, that results in both positive and negative feedback. One has to develop somewhat of a thick skin to take the various darts and arrows.

He doesn’t need me or anybody else to protect Him, but there are times I believe we need to act as Biblical apologists.

Biblical Audio Commentary – Another Generation

Much ink has been spilled about the shenanigans that many churches engage in to promote their version of Christianity in these last days. In recent years we’ve been inundated with social justice, LGBT, black liberation theology, New Age doctrines, and Israel hatred. The latest church that has come to our attention in this regard is the seeker-sensitive Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Awaken Biblical Prophecy Commentary – Leprosy Just a Skin Disease?

Perhaps you’ve noticed in your own Bibles when reading either Old Testament or New Testament accounts, that whenever leprosy is mentioned, there’s inevitably a footnote. Regardless of the context, the footnote reads something like: Leprosy was a term for several skin diseases. Now that’s all well and good, but for the most part – in context – does this make sense?
