The Exodus from the Church: A Deep Dive into the Reasons

Church Exodus: Uninspired Sermons’ Impact As a regular blogger, I've been pondering on a pressing issue that's been bothering me and many others - the increasing number of people leaving the church. This concern has led me to reflect on the role of pastors who, week after week, are expected to deliver sermons, regardless of whether they've received divine inspiration or not. This often results in uninspired sermons, a symptom of a larger problem within the contemporary church. My blog reaches readers worldwide, including regions where Christians face persecution and even death for their faith. These brave individuals, who proclaim Christ despite the risk, have my utmost respect. Their stories, which I occasionally share on Twitter, serve as a humbling reminder of the real essence of Christianity. The crux of the matter is that many churches today are not fulfilling their intended purpose. They are not adhering to the teachings of the Bible. How often have you read the Bible...

Stop Chopping the Bible: Quit Twisting Scripture to Make Jesus Your Servant

Image
 There is a habit running loose in the body of Christ that looks spiritual on the surface but is poison once you really look at it. I call it Bible chopping. Bible chopping is when somebody grabs one verse, cuts it loose from the rest of scripture, ignores the conditions sitting right next to it, and then uses that chopped-up piece of Bible to bless whatever they already wanted to do. That is not Bible study. That is not faith. That is not rightly dividing the word of truth. It is taking the sword of the Spirit and whittling it down into a pocketknife to carve out a doctrine that serves the flesh. I have watched it happen too many times. Somebody quotes a promise of God but leaves out repentance. Somebody quotes the blessing but leaves out the obedience. Somebody quotes answered prayer but leaves out the will of God. Somebody quotes liberty but leaves out holiness. They say, “The Bible says,” but what they really mean is, “This one phrase props up my desire if I ignore everything...

The Shocking Truth About Faith That Will Rock Your World

Faith Revelation: How to Walk on Water Today I want to share a powerful revelation about faith that can help you overcome any storm in your life. In the video, I broke down the famous Bible story of Peter walking on water toward Jesus. This incredible account holds the keys to activating true, miracle-working faith.  You see, it's not enough to just know about Jesus intellectually. Knowing Bible stories is one thing, but truly knowing Jesus intimately is something altogether different. Jesus said in Matthew 7:21-23 that many will profess to know Him, but He will respond "I never knew you." Yikes! We can't just know about the Lord - we must cultivate a deep, personal relationship with Him. That starts by recognizing and obeying His voice. Just like the sheep know the voice of their shepherd in John 10, we must be able to discern Jesus' voice above all others. When He speaks a word of instruction or promise to us, that's where real faith begins. Peter understood...

Christ Versus Christians: A Call to Authentic Discipleship

Image
 Observing Christians in the Digital Age In today's digital age, I often find myself scrolling through social media, watching the comment threads, observing how fellow believers interact with the world around them. And I have to be honest — it's disheartening. The divide between what I read in my Bible and what I see in my news feed grows wider by the day. I don't write this as someone who has it all figured out. I write as a fellow traveler, a brother in the faith who has had to look in the mirror more times than I care to admit and ask: Am I really representing Christ, or am I just wearing His name? The term "Christian" literally means "Christ-like." But if we are honest — brutally, prayerfully honest — many of us bear little resemblance to the One whose name we carry. There is a stark contrast between the teachings of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospels and the actions of many Christians today. This post is my personal reflection on that dispar...

How Guy Fawkes Nearly Changed the Course of Biblical History

Image
  Guy Fawkes, the Gunpowder Plot (1605), and How God Preserved the King James Bible (KJV What if the King James Bible—the most influential English Bible ever printed in the English tongue—almost never made it into the hands of the people? That is the thought that hit me when I first began putting the dates together. I had known about Guy Fawkes. I had known about the fifth of November. I had known that King James authorized the Bible translation that was published in 1611. But when I realized that Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators were trying to kill King James in 1605, right in the window when the translation work was underway, it made me stop and ponder the providence of God. This was not just a political assassination attempt. This was a moment where the plans of men could have collided with the spreading of the Word of God in a way that would have affected generations. "The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none ef...

Why I Engage with Atheists: A Christian’s Perspective

Image
I dialogue with atheists. That may sound strange coming from a devout Christian. Some believers hear that and immediately wonder if I am flirting with unbelief, compromising the faith, or wandering away from the path of righteousness. But that is not what is happening. When I engage with atheists, especially in places like Twitter where ideas move fast and questions get asked bluntly, I am not looking for a way out of following Jesus. I am looking for a way to let the light of Jesus shine in a place where honest questions are already being asked. I have learned that atheists are often not lazy thinkers. Many of them have wrestled with theology, pain, hypocrisy, science, philosophy, and the Bible itself. Some can quote more scripture than church people. Some have read deeply because they are searching, even if they would never use that word. And when someone is willing to ask hard questions, I do not believe Christians should run from that conversation. Fear says, “Avoid them.” Faith...

The Power of Words: Lessons from Hezekiah

Image
  Have you ever said something you  instantly  regretted—words you wished you could pull back the moment they left your mouth? Most of us have. Deep down we know our words carry spiritual weight, yet we often speak casually, not realizing we are either partnering with the kingdom of God or the kingdom of darkness every time we open our mouths. In this post, I want to show you how the story of King Hezekiah reveals the power of words, careless speech, and what I call “handing out daggers.” We will look at how our tongue can open doors in spiritual warfare, how our conversations can expose our treasures to the enemy, and how we can learn to speak life instead of death by walking in the fear of the Lord. Death and Life in the Power of the Tongue (Proverbs 18:21) Proverbs 18:21 in the KJV says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” This is not just a nice religious saying—it is a spiritual law. Your words plant...
