I recently was drawn to the “strange fire” episode in Leviticus, in which two of Aaron’s sons offered an unauthorized sacrifice to the Lord, and lost their lives for their presumption. And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and […]

Startling evidence of how far we have fallen
If you want to get a taste for how far we’ve fallen, for how deeply our culture has embraced a suicidal level of political correctness that prevents us from defending ourselves from evil, give http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=Y2QxNWFlZDM5MDQ0NzM4MDg3ZjA3MDE5ZjNmYzBjYzU a read. The Army has learned nothing at all […]
Islam’s true nature: making sense of the Koran
Give this article a quick read: http://www.citizenwarrior.com/2007/11/modern-revelations-about-islamic.html. It very neatly puts the nature Islam in perspective. Understanding Islam is very simple when you put the Koran in chronological order. The Koran, which was written by one man, and which blatantly contradicts itself, theologically mirrors […]
Abortion in the healthcare bill, documented
The ACLJ has come up with the abortion provisions in the House healthcare bill, H3962. You will find it here. Joe Wilson was right about Obama’s bald-faced lie to the joint session of Congress and to the American people. Recall that Obama had wrapped […]
A solemn, dire warning, from Naval Commander Jerry Wilson
Before I print Jerry Wilson’s letter I need to affirm some foundational points. This is first and always a Christian blog, yet I feel the need to delve into cultural and societal issues because they affect us so deeply. I also believe that we […]
Even MORE free software modules
It was bound to happen. A free Bible program as good as The Word is going to draw a lot of dedicated talent willing to transcribe resources to go into it. And quality content creators are going to give permission for their work to […]
review: Destined for the throne, by Paul Billheimer
At 134 pages, Destined for the Throne is not a big book, yet it took me nine months to read it. What it lacks in length it more than makes up for in depth and power. I came across Destined while review-hopping at Amazon. […]
More on Bible software
First – Yes, this is still the same Following Christ blog. I thought it was time for a theme change. When things aren’t changing I begin to get confused! I’ve been spending time getting acquainted with and adding modules to The Word, which I […]
“The Word” Bible software
I’d like to make everyone aware of new free Bible software. The Word is totally free, uses few computer resources, so that even older computers should be able to run it, and is a delight in terms of functionality, design and aesthetics. I’ve been […]
I’ve Updated ‘Hebrews 6: restoration of a fallen Christian’
I reworked my post from last April, concerning how the difficult passage in Hebrews 6 is really about restoring, rather than condemning, fallen Christians, and I think it now speaks more directly and powerfully to the issue. This is one of the hardest passages […]
Numbering the people
What was David’s great sin in numbering the nation of Israel, and why is it important to us now? If there’s anyone out there who in looking at the church has despaired of its condition (see the David Ryser piece, The Question That Changed […]
Fear and hatred, meet love
Persecution is raging against Christians, but the Gospel and its Kingdom is spreading nonetheless. Yesterday came yet another case of Islamic blasphemy laws, again in Pakistan, being used against Christians: Punjab, Muslim extremists burn church over alleged blasphemy case. According to these Sharia laws, […]
God’s hidden Kingdom
Two coexisting rival kingdoms The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. – Mat 13:44 Jesus came and […]
No mere angel
I have a friend who’s been talking with some Jehovah’s Witnesses for a while. As it inevitably had to be, the conversation eventually found its way to the divinity of Christ. When she had first become a Christian a few decades ago, my friend […]
