The Bible has different applications about correcting mockers for different reasons... | The Bible and Our CultureDo you correct mockers? Bible verses have different applications when you look at passages from different perspectives.

May 22nd, 2026

Too many "contemporary" churches...not enough biblical churches. | The Bible and Our CultureThe Bible calls us out of the world's systems. Many denominations that were founded on hardcore biblical principles generations ago, no longer value a biblical worldview and even attack it.

Demons have no power over a believer other than what we allow. How do we allow? | The Bible and Our CultureThe first key to victory over demons is: Don't Sin. Paul's ministry in Ephesus shows the devil's plans backfire. Demons and Satan often shoot themselves in the foot; that is, their plans will backfire if we stand against them in faith and truth.

The church of Ephesus shows kingdom methods for advancement. Replication is God's method. | The Bible and Our CulturePaul's ministry in Ephesus was successful!

The Ephesus Church reached all of Asia. How?

(Acts 18) Apollos was an amazing minister even though he didn't know about this second baptism of the Holy Spirit. If you haven’t experienced the subsequent baptism of the Holy Spirit, please leave your heart open to it. If you have experienced this subsequent baptism of the Holy Spirit, please receive from today’s Apollos-type believers. This subsequent baptism is biblical, but it is not the central thrust of the New Testament. Please be open to what the Holy Spirit may be doing.

Why did Paul go to the Jews first? He wanted the advantage of the Jewish people's background and worldview to help disciple new converts. | 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 the advantage of the Jewish people's background and worldview to help disciple new converts. Our civil duties are important, but not as important as converting people to Jesus. Riots today are like riots in the book of Acts.

May 11th, 2026

While the New Testament was written, Judaism was the main intimidating spirit, but today in Western Culture the main intimidating spirit is secularism. | The Bible and Our CultureToo many "Christians" don't want to show lost people they are lost; sadly, they want to be popular with them.

Acts 18 - Divine Appointments and Divine Relationships. | The Bible and Our CulturePastors 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. Have a marriage like Aquila and Priscilla! Have a career and ministry like Aquila and Priscilla! Aquila and Priscilla have an amazing story the Bible hints at, but never really fills us in on the details.

May 7th, 2026

Acts 19 shows how the church is called to be political speaking out on the controversies of the day. | 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. Why did Jesus name His people after a political group, Ecclesia? Acts 19 shows the true meaning of the biblical word "church".

May 6th, 2026

Why Ephesus is so significant in the NT, and how does it relate to us today: | The Bible and Our CultureKeep your perspective, "keep looking down" because you are seated in the heavenlies.

May 5th, 2026

Judge 8 instructs us to tolerate those who will fight for God's people, but not those who are cowards. | The Bible and Our CultureJudges 8 highlights a distinction in how 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. 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. Don't tolerate "fellow believers" who would undermine the fight.

May 4th, 2026

God's battleplan is to fight the enemy alongside others in God's army. | 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. Beware of intimidation. Gideon's army of 200. Be active in your local church. God will help us build our faith. We can stand in faith and cause the enemy's plans.

May 1st, 2026

The threats Gen Z grows up with have them on high alert in a way their parent's generation never imagined. | 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 Secularists' cure for depression and anxiety makes it worse; they are trying to put out a fire with gasoline.

April 30th, 2026

How the devil is trying to pervert the many qualities of Gen Z: | The Bible and Our CultureEach generation is different from the previous--especially with the rapid change in values and technology.

Gideon 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?

April 24th, 2026

The ignored story of Gideon's pride and laziness | 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." The forgotten story of how pride destroyed Gideon and the people around him.

April 23rd, 2026

After an amazing victory, Gideon has to use wisdom in diverse circumstances to enforce and maintain the victory. | The Bible and Our CultureJudges 7 God's power must be accompanied by God's wisdom.

April 22nd, 2026

Cause the enemy's plans to fail. | The Bible and Our CultureJudges 7. Though David v. Goliath is an amazing underdog story, it is still not as much of an underdog story as Gideon's army of 200.

What were the Baals and the Asherah poles? How do they relate to us today? | The Bible and Our CultureGideon's battle began at home? How about you?

Different personality types might engage the culture war differently. | The Bible and Our CultureJoshua and Caleb were God's remnant in this situation.

April 3rd, 2026

God's wrath and God's mercy come together at the cross! | The Bible and Our CultureDiminishing God's judgment, diminishes His grace also. Minimizing God's wrath, minimizes what Jesus did in His great mercy and love for us. Christ's sacrifice on the cross didn't change the Father's view of sin; it changed His view of sinners. God values our faith and trust on a personal level; in other words, God doesn't see a lack of faith as merely a short-coming to try to work on, but a personal account of how we see Him and His goodness towards us. Intercession in the face of God's judgment, the Church's sacred role. God wants us to play the role of "good cop" as we stand in the gap for others. We are God's hose to get the Living Water to our dry and dying culture. Does Moses dare try to advise God?

April 2nd, 2026
