"The Power of the Eternal Word Within (John 6:68)"
Most Christians have heard about Jesus' miracle of the feeding of the 5000 with the five loaves of bread and two fish. Some Christians are also aware of Jesus' discourse in John chapter 6 following the miracle, in which Jesus reveals that he is the true bread of life that came down out of heaven; and that if anyone wishes to abide in him, one must partake of his flesh and drink of his blood.
But what many Christians do not realize is that when Christ's disciples begin to leave him en masse because of this difficult teaching, Jesus asks the Twelve if they are going to do the same. Simon Peter answers Jesus with a telling question and then a statement that hints at a great power that all tr...

"Can a God of Love Also Be a God of Hate?"
Просмотров 204Месяц назад
The Bible tells us in John 3:16 that our God is a God of love: “For God so loved the world….” But only 20 verses later in John 3:36, the Bible also records that “…whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” Such a declaration elicits a tough question: Can a God of love also be a God of hate?

"How to Destroy an Idol (Judges 6:25-27)"

If I asked you, “Who was Gideon in the Bible?” some of you might say that he was one of the “Judges,” who governed a portion of ancient Israel before the rise of the kings. Others might answer that he was the person who laid out the fleece before the Lord. Still others might say that he was the man who led a small military force to victory over a larger army. And you’d be correct. But what if I...
Sin is the Hunter, We are the Prey (Numbers 32:23)
Просмотров 1544 месяца назад
Are there any Bible verses you know that send shivers up your spine every time you read them? Numbers 32:23 is one of those verses for me. It portrays sin as if it is alive and that it can hunt us down and overcome us. Is this true? If so, how does sin accomplish this and what can we do as Christians to overcome it? Stay tuned to this episode of The Ancient Theologian entitled, "Sin is the Hunt...
"The Marks of a Modern-Day Heretic (2 Peter 2)"
Просмотров 1115 месяцев назад
In their epistles Peter, Paul, John and Jude claim that heretics/false teachers have and will continue to infiltrate the Christian church. In a previous video entitled, “Four Principles to Combat Modern-Day Heresy (Jude 20-21),” we examined how to combat such false teachings. This begged a further question, however: Are there tell-tale signs, or “marks,” by which observant Christ-followers can ...

The author of the Epistle of Jude warns his readers that false teachers have crept in unnoticed among the churches of his day, spreading false doctrines and leading many astray from the true faith. He then provides four principles by which to combat such heresies. These four principles are just as important today, and perhaps even more so with the proliferation of the internet, as they were cen...

If I asked you what the most difficult book in the New Testament was to understand, how would you answer? I would guess that most of you would say the Book of Revelation. What if I told you that there is one truth in particular that Revelation proclaims that is crystal clear and that you don’t even have to read past the first chapter to understand it: something of vital importance for every one...

As I was reading through the Gospel of Mark recently, I came upon one of the most enigmatic passages in the entire New Testament. The passage is only two verses long and it portrays a young man who witnesses the arrest of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane and who then flees from the scene naked when the guards attempt to apprehend him. Who is this person and, more importantly, what can we possi...
