Two Reason Why I No Longer Read TPT

Two Reason Why I No Longer Read TPT

In February of this year, Bible Gateway, an online Bible platform, announced their decision to remove The Passion Translation (TPT) from its selection of English Bible translations and versions. Reactions to the news were mixed, ranging from praise and thankfulness to disappointment and even outrage, claiming an attack of the enemy against God’s anointed and the move of God. Brian Simmons, the lead translator of TPT, expressed his own feelings regarding the decision by posting online, stating that “cancel culture…

How Long, O Lord?

How Long, O Lord?

How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me. Psalm 13:1-2,5-6 ESV When David wrote this psalm to the Lord, he was in despair and…

God’s Final Decision on Human Life

God’s Final Decision on Human Life

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as…

Demystifying Christian Mysticism

Demystifying Christian Mysticism

I recently saw a social media reel where a self-professing prophet was describing a vision, and in this vision the Lord spoke to her about ascending spiritually and being cleansed from the past. She went on to share details of Jesus washing her feet as well as her hair while He ran His fingers through her hair. She encouraged others with this vision and shared some seemingly encouraging words for others in their walk with the Lord. Now, some reading…

When Responding to Criticism of Criticism

When Responding to Criticism of Criticism

And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will. 2 Timothy 2:24-26 ESV Taking the log out of my own eye has been a humbling experience, especially when the…

A Plague in the Hand of Storytellers

A Plague in the Hand of Storytellers

Over the years, I can recall hearing numerous stories of great men and women of God who did great exploits. One book that was utilized for sharing such stories was God’s Generals, and one particular story came to mind recently. It was the story of John G Lake and the bubonic plague said to have died in his hands while he was in South Africa. Lake shared this account in his writings and sermons stating, “During that great plague that…

By now you have most likely heard about the latest Disney Pixar movie, Turning Red, and you may have heard mixed reviews about this movie. While there are some singing the praises of this movie and are labeling it another classic in the line of Disney movies, there are others who have great concerns about the overarching message and influences this movie presents to children. I am in the concerned group. Initially, I had decided to steer clear of the…

Holy Spirit, No Activation Necessary

Holy Spirit, No Activation Necessary

When the Holy Spirit does his work of regeneration in the hearts of men, he does not come on them with great powerful feelings and emotions which cannot be resisted. He does not possess men as evil spirits take possession of their victims…As among all the doctrines of the gospel, there is none opposed with more violence and subtlety than that concerning our regeneration by the immediate, powerful, effectual operation of the Holy Spirit of grace. John Owen I recently…

The Father, The Son, and The Holy Bible?

The Father, The Son, and The Holy Bible?

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31,32 ESV If you try to run after the Lord without running through the Word, you will find someone else. John Piper I am about eleven years late listening to a message from John Piper titled, If You Abide in My Word, You Are Truly…

Biblical Deliverance from Extrabiblical Teaching

Biblical Deliverance from Extrabiblical Teaching

Have you ever heard teaching on cleansing your home of demonic items that may be leaving a door open for the devil to wreak havoc in your family and personal life? Currently, there are teachings and books concerning this very belief. Some teach that anytime you enter a hotel room, you need to cleanse the room because of previous evil and sin having taken place before your stay. I not only heard these teachings, but I also believed them and…
