2025 April - August; The Bible and Our Culture

Riots today are like riots in the book of Acts. | The Bible and Our CultureRiots, race and provoking the lost to jealousy. Live an adventurous life for Jesus! It will bring persecution. Make unbelievers jealous of the life you have in Christ. Why did Paul go to the Jews first? He didn't have a racial bias. He had companions of all sorts of different ethnic backgrounds. He wanted to take advantage of the Jewish people's background and worldview. Our civil duties are important, but not as important as converting people to Jesus.

There is such value to your soul in trash-talking demonic forces. | The Bible and Our Culture"Make Known the wisdom of God to principalities and powers." Demonstrate the wisdom of God by your actions. Like a professional athlete, when you struggle, go back to the fundamentals. Perspective is everything!

Too many "Christians" don't want to show lost people they are lost; sadly, they want to be popular with them. | The Bible and Our CultureWhile the New Testament was written, Judaism was the main intimidating spirit, but today in Western Culture the main intimidating spirit is secularism. Because of intimidation; there is a tragic decline in the percentage of people who call themselves Christians today compared to a few years ago. "Christians" don't want to show lost people they are lost; they want to be popular with them. Many Christians allow themselves to be intimidated.

Aquila and Priscilla have an amazing story the Bible hints at, but never really fills us in on the details. | The Bible and Our CultureActs 18 - Divine Appointments and Divine Relationships. Pastors have a right to earn a Salary as the serve in the Church, but it doesn't mean those who don't earn a salary are not as "spiritual" or impactful. Be a minister wherever your "secular" career might take you. Aquila and Priscilla have an amazing story the Bible hints at multiple times but never really fills us in on the details. Have a marriage like Aquila and Priscilla! Have a career and ministry like Aquila and Priscilla!

December 2nd, 2025

Why did Jesus name His people after a political group, Ecclesia? | The Bible and Our CulturePolitical groups ought to be involved in politics. A sense of community is great, but community-ism is often a trojan horse to surrender liberty. Rioting is a tactic of the Left not the Right. Acts 19 shows the true meaning of the biblical word "church".

December 1st, 2025

"Faith is the breath of the righteous." -Martin Luther | The Bible and Our CultureRomans 1:16-19 "The righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith." Translation problems hinders us from understanding terms that come from a different time, place, culture and language. Many words we use only in a religious, spiritual context today, were not originally religious terms at all. The gospel delivers us from hell and death, but also any bondage we need saving from. The gospel starts with the righteousness of God compared to sinful humanity's unrighteousness.

November 28th, 2025

Some insights from a proud adoptive father most people could never fully understand. | The Bible and Our CultureThe are a lot of "unplanned" pregnancies, but never an unplanned adoption. God is our real Father, he adopted us. All believers can celebrate Adoption Month. Most Christians miss some significance in the gospel by misunderstanding God's view in adopting sons and daughters. Romans 8:14-17; Ephesians 1:4-5

November 27th, 2025

Keep your perspective, "keep looking down" because you are seated in the heavenlies. | The Bible and Our CultureGod seated us in the heavenly places with Jesus. There is nothing but vanity under the sun.

November 26th, 2025

The Secularists' cure for depression and anxiety makes it worse; they are trying to put out a fire with gasoline. | The Bible and Our CultureHow the culture today causes us to embrace quick shallow answers. Safety is a false god of today's society causing us to live in fear and anxiety. Gen Z is forced to grow up in ways previous generations never did; but they haven't grown up in other ways. God loves Gen Z! There is no limit to the revival they can spear-head! The threats Gen Z grows up with have them on high alert in a way their parent's generation never imagined. The Secularists' cure for depression and anxiety makes it worse; they are trying to put out a fire with gasoline.

November 25th, 2025

Many in Gen Z is getting annoyed with Left-wing propaganda. | The Bible and Our CultureHow the devil is trying to pervert the qualities of Gen Z? Each generation is different from the previous--especially with the rapid change in values and technology. Have great hope in God for what He has planned for Gen Z!

November 24th, 2025

God has a purpose for each generation. What about Gen Z? | The Bible and Our CultureEach generation is different. Acts 13:25,36 God has a purpose for each generation. God wants His Church to be multi-generational and generationally diverse. Today's Gen Z (Zoomers) are growing up in a significantly different culture than their parents. Have great hope in God for what He has planned for Gen Z!

November 21st, 2025

What was the context of the phrase "Separation of Church and State" and how has it been perverted? | The Bible and Our CultureHow has the anti-Christ Leftists perverted the original meaning of Separation of Church and State. Both clauses regarding the Freedom of Religion protects the individual from government overreach. Where did the phrase "Separation of Church and State" come from? Gideon got cocky and backslid, most by trying to be both Church authority and State authority and brought destruction.

November 20th, 2025

What does the first amendment say regarding "Separation of Church and State"? | The Bible and Our CultureGideon was kind'a trans. He was acting like a king, but he "identified" as a descendant of Aaron to also act as High Priest. The ephod or the crown? Different roles. The concept has been perverted 180 degrees through loud repetition. Gideon perverted the Separation of Church and state in Judges 8?

November 19th, 2025

The forgotten story of how pride destroyed Gideon and the people around him. | The Bible and Our CultureThe temptation of popularity. Proverbs 18:12 "Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, And before honor is humility." Gideon got lazy and pride crept in. The ignored story of Gideon. Many unelected "gatekeepers" influence policy hiding in plain site. Beware of those who want power but don't take responsibilities.

November 18th, 2025

Don't tolerate "fellow believers" who would undermine the fight. | The Bible and Our CultureTolerate those who will fight for God's people, but not those who are cowards. Judges 8 highlights a distinction in how we should regard those around us. There's a place for tolerating even those who might have strong personalities, provided they are committed to standing firm for the values we believe in. Conversely, we should be wary of those who are unwilling to engage in the challenges we face. Gideon's interactions with the Ephraimites offer a valuable lesson. Even though they leveled unfair criticisms against him, Gideon chose to accommodate them because they had demonstrated a willingness to fight alongside him. In contrast, his anger was rightly directed at those who refused to defend their nation. This serves as a reminder to be discerning, to value and stand with those who are willing to fight for what is right and just, and to be cautious of those who shrink from that responsibility.

November 17th, 2025

Faith and zeal can defeat the enemy, but you need wisdom to deal with your fellow Christians. | The Bible and Our CultureGod's power must be accompanied by God's wisdom. After an amazing victory, Gideon has to use wisdom in diverse circumstances to enforce and maintain the victory. Prov 4:7 "Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.

November 14th, 2025

Contrary to what many Christians believe, there is an "Israel" by faith in Jesus. | The Bible and Our CultureToo many Bible versus tell us who God's people are and they are not a natural race of people. 2 Cor 5:16 "Don't regard anyone according to the flesh" is a command ignored by those who claim "Israel First" theology. One people of God, but two "Israels". The Church was the church Moses pastored (Acts 7:38) so the Church has been around ever since God had a covenant people.

November 13th, 2025

How shall we apply "for the Jew first and also for the Gentile" today? | The Bible and Our Culture"For the Jew first, and also for the Gentile" (Romans 1:16b) is often misunderstood. Supporting Israel politically and standing against antisemitism does not mean you have to be a "Hebrew Supremist". All who are a new creation in Christ Jesus are part of a spiritual race. There is a huge advantage for new converts with a background in Judaism (as opposed to Secularism or Roman mythology).

November 12th, 2025

Racism: Looking at individuals through the lens of race. | The Bible and Our CultureThere are no 2nd class citizens in Christ! Why did Paul write the book of Romans. A big reason Paul wrote Romans was to deal with the antisemitism Acquila and Priscilla told him about (Acts 17). Way too many Christians see Romans 1:16b with a racial lens. With a few passages taken out of context, it might sound like God is a racist, but the entirety of Scripture disproves such. Context matters.

November 11th, 2025

Gideon's army of 200. | The Bible and Our CultureThough David v. Goliath is an amazing underdog story, it is still not as much of an underdog story as Gideon's army of 200. Battle the enemy within relationship with God's people. Be active in your local church. God will help us build our faith. We can stand in faith and cause the enemy's plans.

November 10th, 2025

Why did Gideon's Army have to be whittled down from 32,000 to 300. | The Bible and Our CultureGod wanted the glory for Himself. Fear and lust might disqualify some from the victory. Have a big-picture vision. Understand the importance of a generational focus and an eternity focus! God has a Remnant for His Glory.

November 7th, 2025

Today's over-sexed culture requires child sacrifice like in Bible days. | The Bible and Our CultureEzekiel 16; The Sex-crazed culture costs freedom just as it did in Gideon's day. Gideon's victory at home in Judges 6. Sex saturated culture leads to degradation of our son's and daughters as well as all our society. Old Testament prostitution.

November 6th, 2025

How did the false gods, Baal and Asherah, tempt people into worshipping them. | The Bible and Our CultureGideon's battle began at home? How about you? Gideon had to confront the temptations we face including sexual indulgence. We are an over-sexed society.

Healthy boasting is important to mental health. | The Bible and Our Culture2 Corinthians 4: 7-18 We can have a positive mental attitude and so much more because we are in Christ. Boast in the Hope we have through Jesus. What separates a joyful believer versus a sour one?

October 29th, 2025

Leftists are Pharisees too! | The Bible and Our CultureWhat Jesus might say to today's hypocritical, external, people pleasing, self-deceived oppressors. There is a little bit of Pharisaicalism in all of us. Secular Pharisees have the same heart issues as religious Pharisees.

October 28th, 2025

What are the common denominators of Pharisaicalism in the Bible? | The Bible and Our CultureHow does that affect us today? Pharisees today might not be what you think they are. What a current day Pharisee is not?

October 27th, 2025

Interview with Chris Knowlton of the Source | The Bible and Our CultureWhat is happening with foster kids in America? Gender dysphoria and the state of Washington's woke agenda against at-risk kids.

October 24th, 2025

America cannot afford to miss this window of opportunity. | The Bible and Our CultureDifferent personality types engage the culture war differently, but the key is to fight. Fighting the Culture War as a "Joshua" or "Caleb". The American Church no longer needs to scout out the land. We already know their is wickedness and corruption everywhere.

October 23rd, 2025

How to pray for our enemies? First and foremost, that they repent. | The Bible and Our CulturePraying for God's enemies to repent. Moses changed God's mind, by the will of God?

October 22nd, 2025

Intercession in the face of God's judgment, the Church's sacred role. | The Bible and Our CultureDoes Moses dare try to advise God. How does God mercy manifest when we have provoked His Judgment?

October 20th, 2025

Defeating giants are our Daily Bread! | The Bible and Our Culture"Give us this day our daily giants." We all have giants especially if you are taking ground for the purposes of God. When they threaten you, realize, like Caleb, they are your bread!

October 17th, 2025

How fear and complaining causes failures. | The Bible and Our CultureAttitude affects destiny. Fear and sour attitudes caused the children of Israel to miss their key opportunity. Sour attitudes = missed opportunities

October 16th, 2025

Exciting ways people are coming to Jesus! | The Bible and Our CultureEven before the assassination of Charlie Kirk, people have been coming to Jesus in record numbers. Many of these are college age students especially football players. At the Memorial for Charlie Kirk in Glendale AZ many of his staff, friends and benefactors shared the gospel. Renown musicians led the nation in worship and even politicians shared the gospel. These are signs and wonders!

October 15th, 2025

The 32nd anniversary of Charlie Kirk's birthday! | The Bible and Our CultureMatthew 14:13-21 versus Matthew 15:32-39; contrasting two very similar miracles. Why did the Holy Spirit put these two similar but different miracles of Jesus in the Bible? When there was a greater mathematical need, there was a mathematically greater miracle. In contrasting the two similar “loaves and fish” miracles, we observe there is no lack to whatever or whoever is in the hands of Jesus! God doesn’t call the gifted so much as he gifts the called. God doesn’t call the qualified, so much as he qualifies the called. Charlie was not an exception to this rule. Though he was gifted, Charlie’s impact resulted from two basic characteristics we all can follow: 1.Availability unto God –God’s adjustment and correction –God’s purposes in his generation 2.Hunger –Hunger to be fed by the Lord’s bread and meat –Hunger for God’s will to be done in America and across the world

High Yield Investments in the Spirit | The Bible and Our CultureRomans 1:11-13 Paul was an achiever, as spiritual entrepreneur looking to bear much fruit in as many places as possible. Farming fruit trees was something the culture in Paul’s day could relate to. One might think if the Bible were written today, it might use financial investment analogies more than farming analogies, because the idea with fruit is you want high-yield investments multiplied over time. There is risk in investing in godly relationships, because you can be hurt, betrayed, misunderstood, used and manipulated; but it is worth the risk to have true biblical fellowship. Fellowship is a benefit for saints that unbelievers can merely counterfeit. People are valuable; build wealth in people. Make time for spiritual relationships according to the pattern of Romans 1. Impart, Establish, Encourage, and Bear fruit in your relationships.

October 13th, 2025

Don't let your lack of passion, cause you to frame those with passion as fanatics. | The Bible and Our CultureUnderstanding Jesus as the Rock of Offense! As Jesus was rejected, so we will be rejected. Too many want to change the message to "reach people with the gospel". Too many want to genetically alter the seed to "reach people with the gospel". Too many want to put Jesus in a costume to "reach people with the gospel". Don't let your lack of passion for the issues of today, cause you to frame those with passion as haters or fanaticism.

October 10th, 2025

How should we live knowing Jesus is offensive? | The Bible and Our CultureWhy is the gospel so offensive? If somebody is offended by God's Word, they are a step closer to the Rock of Offense the seed is planted. If you don't feel the need to be comforted by God, maybe you aren't really saying anything that matters. Too many "Christians" are afraid of controversary

October 9th, 2025

Paul's priorities included relationship intentionality. | The Bible and Our CultureThe world cannot compete with the unity and love we as the Body of Christ. Build wealth in people! The world's counterfeit is impressive, but it pales compared to the genuine bond of the Spirit God's people have.

October 8th, 2025

Consider who will be misled, deceived and destroyed if you don't tell the truth. | The Bible and Our Culture1 Peter 2:7-8 Jesus is a Stone of Stumbling and a Rock of Offense. “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” (James 4:6; 1Peter 5:5) The word of God is a seed, which must be planted. Some people are not ripe for the harvest because they haven't heard the message clear enough to be offended. "Rather than worry about who will be offended if you tell the truth, consider who will be misled, deceived and destroyed if you don't." Contending for a biblical definition of the Ecclesia (Church).

October 7th, 2025

The devil has shaped the word "Church" to mean much the opposite of what Jesus intended. | The Bible and Our CultureThe devil has made the word "Church" come to thought of as a non political term. That is the opposite of what it meant in the New Testament. There is a cost of following Jesus that we will hated by those who hate Him and what he stands for. Who is the Church really according to the New Testament?

October 6th, 2025

Acts 19:23-41 reveals what the term "Ecclesia" or "Church" means. | The Bible and Our CultureSaints in the Church? God has many pet names for His people. Each designate its own purpose He has for us. Neither Saints nor Church were religious words in the original Greek. We don't understand either term, especially Church, because we don't see a Senate or City Council as a Church. Acts 19:23-41 reveals what the term "Ecclesia" or "Church" means. They were a non-Christian "church" who worshipped the goddess Diana, but had the responsibility to decide the morals and policy of a public situation in their culture.

October 3rd, 2025

The empty tomb validates all Jesus said and did. | The Bible and Our CultureDavid was a type of Christ in many astonishing ways. The “sign of Jonah” is all the validation one needs.

October 2nd, 2025

Looking at Jesus as "The Son of David" | The Bible and Our CultureOur Salvation is through the Seed of David. The central focus of the gospel is the Person of Jesus Christ God’s Son our Lord. What is the central focus other philosophies and ideologies? The Messiah had to be human and His humanity had to be of the “seed of David” or He didn’t qualify. David is underrated as a historical figure. We miss a bit of the gospel when we don’t see the longing of the Old Testament believers for the Son of David to regain His rightful place as King of Israel.

October 1st, 2025

How God Changes your nature. | The Bible and Our Culture The Gospel is for Unbelievers and Believers Alike If you work on understanding salvation (the gospel), then God will cause you to both will and do what He wants. He changes your nature to be like His! Philippians 2:11f Unknown quote: “The gospel is so simple, a young child can understand it; but it is also so profound and inexhaustible even the most brilliant scholars will never fully understand all that pertains to it.” The gospel is like an eternal piece of perfect chicken, that always has good meat on it. Separated to understanding the gospel

September 30th, 2025

"Separated to the gospel" is living according to the Bible rejecting the values of the world. | The Bible and Our CultureSeparated to Gospel involves being in the world not of the world. Jesus shows off by fulfilling so many Old Testament prophecies; we should boast in Him. Living "separated to the gospel" is to live according to the Word of God rejecting the values of the world.

September 29th, 2025

God is restoring truths that were lost to something better than what was stolen. | The Bible and Our CultureThere is nothing that was stolen from the first century Church that God isn't restoring to better in quality and quantity. How Jesus lived His life is our floor not our ceiling. John 14:11-12 God is restoring back what the enemy stole in multiplication.

September 26th, 2025

Too many proof-text what was never supposed to have ceased. | The Bible and Our CultureThough the Bible doesn't command us to speak in lounges, it is important to avoid making up anti-Bible doctrines. Ceasationalism should cease when the Bible is valued. Context shows "that which is perfect" has not yet come. Dangerous proof-texting.

September 25th, 2025

Why can we be certain "apostles and prophets" are for today? | The Bible and Our CultureWhat is an apostle and how to Christ's gifts work together? Ephesians 4:3-13 Intro into the fallacies of Ceasationalism

September 24th, 2025

Being Christ's slave is a bargain deal for us! | The Bible and Our CultureThough Jesus has made our identity amazingly positive as His child, co-worker, bride, ambassador, etc.; but we come to Jesus first as a slave to a Master. How else can you come to the Almighty but first as a slave because He is the Transcendent, Sovereign, King of the Universe? Be a slave who loves His Master for all His amazing goodness, generosity and kindness! He does expect us to give up our entire life to follow Him.

September 23rd, 2025

God has given us the ability to reject Him but not the permission to do so. | The Bible and Our CultureReasons why the book of Romans is unique in comparison to his other letters. Everyone is a slave to someone or Someone or something. Like Paul we are slaves of Jesus Christ and we have no rights to assert in opposition to what God asks us. We have no rights to assert in opposition to God. What about the government?

September 22nd, 2025

Remembering Charlie Kirk; what now? | The Bible and Our CultureCharlie didn’t separate politics from his relationship with Jesus. Neither should we. Your life today would not be the same if it weren’t for Charlie Kirk. So the weight of this tremendous loss hit me hard. Where the enemy digs a pit, he himself will fall into it himself. If he rolls a stone, it will roll back onto his own self. Charlie Kirk’s work can only be replaced by a move of God in the hearts of people like you and me.

September 19th, 2025

Don't be like the prodigal son's older brother | The Bible and Our CultureGod doesn't mind inconveniencing those who have been found for a while to reach the lost. Many believers are not longing to see the lost get saved because they are simply focused on themselves. The 99 must look to reach the 1 lost soul. What are you willing to risk for one lost soul to come to Jesus?

September 18th, 2025

Paul, the ultimate tough guy, sought meaningful relationships with other believers. | The Bible and Our CultureBiblical Relationship Goals according to Romans 1. Foundational reasons for all of our spiritual relationships as saints in God’s House.

September 16th, 2025

Though we seek to save the lost, we have to disagree with their worldview. | The Bible and Our CultureRestore to me the joy of Your Salvation. (Ps 51:12a) We are "co-laborers with Christ" "to seek and to save that which is lost." Jesus seeks to save lost people the "cool kids" rejected. Seeking and saving the lost doesn't mean to agree with their lies.

September 15th, 2025

Jesus came to accomplish the first item on His to-do list: Save the lost. | The Bible and Our CultureLuke 15, the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin, the Lost Son. All humanity was lost and Jesus searches for each soul. Luke 19:10 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost. Christ’s First Item on His “To-do” List

September 12th, 2025

Standing in faith while mourning for sin | The Bible and Our CultureThe difference between secular PMA and speaking the Word of God in faith is the foundation and the direction. Jesus commanded us to hear his words and do them. This will cause you to believe His Word in faith or mourn for sin. Your mouth sets the course of your life.

September 11th, 2025

In this dramatic story, Joshua and Caleb had to take a stand against their fellow Israelites. | The Bible and Our CultureNumbers 13,14 compared with Matthew 7:24-27 In this dramatic story, Joshua and Caleb had to take a stand, not against the Gentiles but against their fellow worships of the true God. How about you? Joshua and Caleb built their lives on the Rock!

September 10th, 2025

Some with God's anointing don't get to heaven. Why? | The Bible and Our CultureBeware of false prophets. What is a false prophet and how can you spot them? Some have God's anointing but don't know Him. They don't get to heaven. Saul versus David. Phonies might do God's will in God's power but not know Him. Matthew 7:15f

September 9th, 2025

Grace never lowers God's standard or gives an excuse to sin. | The Bible and Our Culture"Not Under Law, But Under Grace" Romans 6 seems to good to be true, what do we do. God's law shows how glorious God's grace really is!

September 8th, 2025

Despite what the world might claim, sin is a big deal. | The Bible and Our CultureWe appreciate grace more when we truly know sin is an outrageously big deal that prohibits us from fellowship with God. The deceitfulness of the sinful human heart, makes sinner excuse their sin rather than repent from it. The Deceitfulness of Sinners

September 5th, 2025

Grace allows you to love God's Law passionately and genuinely | The Bible and Our CultureThe New Covenant gives us power! God's Law and God's grace are not in conflict with each other. God's Law: Your Path to Success. Psalm 1

Loving God's Law repels Pharisaicalism | The Bible and Our Culture Live in God’s Glorious Grace with victory over sin. Understand God’s Grace and its relationship to His Law. Loving God’s Law does make you at risk of being a Pharisee but actually repels Pharisaicalism in your heart. God has a Marvelous Purpose for His Law.

September 3rd, 2025

How God's Grace works along side His Law. | The Bible and Our CultureMany who do "Christian" ministry don't truly and absolutely know God! We can "ginosko" God and flow in gifts of power, but just because you flow in power doesn't mean you "ginosko" God. If your lawless, you don't really know God. God's law is something we love. God's law partners with God's grace against sin.
