What is Propitiation?

Over the years, I’ve heard many professing Christians wrongfully tell other Christians that the word propitiation in the Bible is not important to tell others about, nor to expound on. I’ve even been told by a few that I should never preach on propitiation while heralding the Gospel in the streets (as I did here).

What is Piety?

There is an unfortunate movement on social media that criticizes piety, and some of the critics are pastors. In other words.

Adding a PTO driven Wood Chipper to our Homestead

The Three E’s of traffic enforcement, Education,

What is the “Whole Counsel of God” – Acts 20:27

Some call this a farewell speech; I see it more as a dying death declaration. Either way, Paul was saying goodbye. Using proper hermeneutics, it’s essential to know & understand who Paul was addressing in this context. According to verse 17, he was addressing the elders and pastors of the church in Ephesus. Paul was

Preached Ephesians 5:1-21 @ Church Conference

I was asked to preach at this church conference, where the theme was ‘How to engage the world Biblically.’ In my session, I did an exposition of Ephesians 5:1-21, as a mirror for self-examination, and a lamp unto our feet.
