The Role of Israel in God’s Plan After the Rapture
You ever stop and wonder what becomes of Israel after the rapture? Not the rapture preached in dusty pulpits, but the rapture as Paul properly explains it—where the church, the Body of Christ, is caught up before God’s dealing with Israel through prophecy resumes. I mean, Israel’s role post-rapture is like this vibrant thread woven
How to Present the Gospel of Grace Clearly
Sometimes when we speak about the gospel of grace, the conversation gets tangled up in half-truths or, worse, confusing legalism dressed up as liberty. That’s why presenting it clearly matters so much—not just tossing a few verses out there like confetti and hoping someone catches the meaning. Grace isn’t just a word; it’s God’s unmerited
Understanding the Mystery of Godliness
There’s a phrase in 1 Timothy 3:16 that’s been stirring my heart for years: “Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness.” It’s one of those verses that makes you lean in a little closer because it suggests there’s something profound locked just beneath the surface when it comes to understanding godliness. But what exactly
Walking Worthy of the Vocation Wherewith We Are Called
Sometimes I wonder if we really grasp what Paul meant when he urged us to “walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called” (Ephesians 4:1). It’s easy to read it, nod our heads, maybe even quote it in church, but to genuinely live it? That’s an entirely different beast. What does it mean to
Our Citizenship in Heaven vs. Israel’s Kingdom Hope
Sometimes I think we Christians get a bit tangled trying to figure out where exactly we belong in God’s cosmic plan. The Bible talks about nations, kingdoms, and citizenship—and it’s easy to blur the lines, especially around Israel and our place in the heavenly kingdom as believers. If you’ve ever scratched your head over how
Why We Don’t Follow Pentecost Doctrine Today
It’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of today’s charismatic movements and Pentecostal fervor, especially since these doctrines make a lot of noise about “experiencing God” through tongues, prophecy, and dramatic signs. But here’s the rub: as a grace believer who rightly divides the Word, I find it essential to pause and ask—why
The Difference Between Kingdom Gospel and Grace Gospel Salvation
You ever notice how people throw around “the gospel” like it’s one-size-fits-all? Like if you just say “Jesus saves,” that covers everything. But if you’ve been in the Word long enough, you realize that the gospel Paul preached—the gospel of grace—is a whole different beast than the kingdom gospel Jesus proclaimed to Israel in the
God’s Will for You in the Age of Grace
Ever wrestled with the idea of God’s will, only to find yourself tangled in a knot of expectations, some stressed by fear, others by legalism? I get it. Many believers step into the “God-will” conversation imagining a checklist or a mysterious cosmic GPS that points them to one perfect career, one flawless partner, or one
The Dispensation of Grace Timeline
You ever stop and wonder how God’s dealings with humanity have shifted so dramatically from Genesis onward? It’s like flipping through a sacred storyboard where every chapter has its own rules, covenants, expectations—and here we are, smack dab in the middle of what grace believers call the Dispensation of Grace. If you pay close attention,
What It Means to Be Complete in Christ
There’s a strange freedom in realizing you don’t have to fix yourself. That’s what it means to be complete in Christ—not a “to-do” list for moral perfection, but an established reality grounded in God’s grace. Sure, most people think being “complete” means having all their ducks in a row, but the Bible flips that idea
