Mystery of Iniquity, The (eBook)

The purpose of this article is to offer a possible explanation of a phrase found in the apostle Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonians – “The Mystery of Iniquity (or Lawlessness)”. In the process, other phrases like “Satan is Bound” and “He who Restrains” will be identified to explain the context surrounding “The Mystery of Iniquity”. This is the premise of the article: Can Satan be literally bound but his established spiritual influence continues on in the world by spirit

Do Not Love the World (eBook)

In 1 John 2:15, the apostle John is telling us “Do not love the world….” In his gospel, the same writer is telling us that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) So, are we to understand that it’s O.K. for God to love the world, but we should not? Is the apostle John contradicting himself? Is this a contradiction in

Do Not Be Entangled (eBook)

The apostle Paul’s exhortation is “Do not be entangled in the affairs of this life”. (2 Timothy 2:4) With that as its basis, the intention and purpose of this article are to remind those who belong to Christ of some basic spiritual realities with regards to the World in which we live, and to bring to our remembrance some realities of the Kingdom of Heaven which may help us to better understand how to maintain our stance of being “IN

Globalism & God (eBook)

In this article, I am not advocating Globalism – far from it, as it is an anti-Christ Babylonian system. Nor am I advocating “Christian Nationalism”, to which I am also adverse, because it is a misunderstanding and misrepresentation of the Kingdom of God. Nor is it within the scope of this article to detail the evils of Globalism and Nationalism. The purpose of this article is to simply point out what Scripture has to say about Globalism. And to infer

Spirit of the World, The (eBook)

Regarding the Christian’s relationship to the world, these are the two commandments the apostle John gives in his first epistle: “Do Not Love the World” and “Do Not Believe Every Spirit” “The Spirit of the World” is available in paperback format CLICK >

Stranger in a Strange Land: Alienated by Truth, A (eBook)

So, you’re a devoted disciple of Jesus Christ. Daily, you look out at the world in which you live – you hear what is being said, you see what is being done – and increasingly you are feeling more and more different and separate – even in relation to some family and friends. You come to understand more deeply what Jesus prayed concerning His disciples: “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world”. (John

Church, Culture, and the Ekklesia (eBook)

In His prayer to the Father in John 17, Jesus said that both He and His people (the Ekklesia) are in the world, but not of the world. Throughout church history, it has been, and still is, very difficult for the Church to understand this paradox, and has been even more difficult for the Church to embody its spiritual realities. The Church is to represent a heavenly King and a heavenly Kingdom. Herein lies the challenge: How do we effectively

The Way of God & the Way of Humanity (eBook)

The Difference Between Theology & Politics: The Kingdom of the Lord and His Christ & the kingdoms of this World What I have to offer in this essay is at variance with the current conventional “Evangelical” perspectives and political activities. (In fact, it equally flies in the face of the disposition of most “Progressive Christians”, as well as most non-Christians.) And that is this: The current conventional “Evangelical” perspective of the Kingdom of God is askew, and the seeming

IN the World, But Not OF the World (eBook)

A Personal Investigation into the Morality of Voting “IN”, but “not OF”. These are the two contexts in which a disciple of Christ lives – IN the world; but not OF the world. (John 17:13-19) For more than two thousand years the Church has struggled to understand what this actually means; and has also struggled to discern how to actually live faithfully in these contexts – the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the World. We don’t have voting

How Does God Govern Fallen Humanity? (eBook)

A Witness to the Image of God What political philosophy and what form of government may be best suited for the governance of ALL humanity – fallen and redeemed? More specifically: Is there a political philosophy which is most suited to the biblical worldview? Is there a particular form of government which inherently contains the elements of freedom of conscience and choice “in the likeness of” God’s way of governing humanity? Is there a practical politic for both those who
