Many have set out to explain the seventy weeks recorded in the book of Daniel. It seemed good to me, as well, to pen down a few words in respect to this great Messianic prophecy. Especially due to the tremendous errors men have made to make this prophecy something that suits their fantasies, even though it is not what God purposed. My intention is to give the sense of the text while keeping to the context of the book and remaining in harmony with the rest of the Bible. Here is the text: Daniel 9:24 “Seventy weeks are determined For […]

    It seems evident from the gospel accounts that Jesus enjoyed going to the homes of certain people. The home of Zacchaeus, for example, is a place where Jesus invited Himself as He told Zacchaeus “today I must stay at your house” (Luke 19:5). Why Zacchaeus’ house? Because it was the house of a man who was diligently seeking Him. We find Jesus, in Matthew 9:10, at the house of Matthew, where He had occasion to teach many individuals who did not have a relationship with God. Consider how Jesus enjoyed coming to the house of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38), […]

The statements: “I don’t love you anymore,” and “I think I married the wrong person” we all recognize. They are commonly said at the end of a failed marriage. It is no secret that many marriages fail in the world and a number of them fail among members of the church. Did they indeed marry the wrong person as they suppose? Is it possible to marry the wrong person? Anyone who is struggling in marriage, or knows someone who is, please consider this article and share it with others who you think might need it.     Certainly there are commands in […]

Many will be able to recall the well-known acts of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Samson, David, and many others who did amazing things for the LORD. But how many can also recall the deeds of Adino the Eznite, Eleazar the Ahohite, and Shammah the Hararite? Although these three men are not famous as the others, they are certainly worthy of study and discussion, and this we will do within this article.     In 2 Samuel 23:8-17, we find a record of the great deeds of Adino, Eleazar, and Shammah. They were all mighty men of war who served under King David. David […]

There is a tradition among young women to give their best friend a necklace or bracelet. Hanging off this symbol of friendship is usually a heart that says something like: “Best Friends Forever.” Many of these friendship bracelets only have half of a heart, in which case, the other friend has the other half of the heart on their bracelet. Although this is quite common among young women, the tradition of giving a very meaningful gift of friendship has it’s roots far back into the ancient times. In Roman tradition (even practiced in the First Century) a token was exchanged […]

One of the most astounding accounts to read in the bible is the betrayal of the Christ. Not just the betrayal, but the events which lead up to it never fail to boggle my mind. However, the text is not just a historical account, but a far more personal event for everyone who is a disciple of Jesus. On some occasions, I’d say, we may not be too far from Judas.     Consider the text with me for a moment, and then draw due application. Beginning in Matthew 26:14, we see Judas, just a few days before Jesus institutes the Lord’s […]

Our neighbors may be familiar with the statement “calling on the name of the Lord.” It was first used a number of times by the Holy Spirit to communicate a certain action, but it is now used popularly by denominationalists to communicate an entirely different action. Chances are if our neighbors know about “calling on the Lord,” then they have probably heard that it means either to pray to the Lord, or to pray the sinner’s prayer. Therefore, there is a true need for the truth of this matter to be shared.     Due to the widespread use in the scriptures […]

One of the most exhilarating thoughts contained in the bible is found in the fortieth chapter of Isaiah. Within the page are just a few words, but they paint a most vibrant and thrilling picture that stimulates the imagination of the mind: “They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles” (Isaiah 40:31).     The eagle is the stateliest of all birds, having about 7,000 feathers, and standing over 3 ft. tall with an impressive 7 ft. wing span. It comes as no surprise that man has always had the dream to […]

    Consider the man Moses for a moment. Only a man with great courage could have brought God’s people out of the land of Egypt. But where did his courage come from? Was he a skilled military leader? How about a trained expert in communication and gifted in motivational speaking? Certainly that was not the case for Moses. So then, what was it that fueled such an amazing display of courage? The Hebrew writer answers this question in only a few words, Moses “endured as seeing Him who is invisible” (Hebrews 11:27). The reason for Moses’ perseverance is because he knew […]
