The debate over Christmas has raged for centuries. Was Jesus really born on December 25th? Is celebrating this date participating in paganism? Should believers avoid thth December Let’s be honest: the Bible gives us compelling reasons to doubt a December nativity. Three scriptural arguments stand out clearly. First, consider Mary’s[…]
We live in a world that’s constantly shaping us. Every moment of every day, forces are at work molding our thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors. The question isn’t whether we’re being shaped—it’s what is doing the shaping. This fundamental reality lies at the heart of understanding genuine spiritual transformation and why[…]
Abstract Matthew Verschuur’s defense of the Pure Cambridge Edition (PCE) appeals to Galatians 3:16 as evidence that “every letter matters” for doctrinal precision. While Paul’s argument in this verse hinges on the singular “seed” versus plural “seeds,” this distinction originates in the inspired Greek text. This article demonstrates that using[…]
Abstract This article examines the theological and logical tensions in Matthew Verschuur’s defense of the Pure Cambridge Edition (PCE) against my recent critique.

There’s something deeply counterintuitive about the Christian life. We’re told we have liberty, yet we’re called to serve (Gal. 5:13). We’re free from the law, yet we fulfill its deepest requirements (Gal. .5:14). We possess the Spirit, yet we battle the flesh daily (Gal. 5:15-16). How do we make sense[…]
In a world characterized by emotional extremes, heated arguments, and wild swings of passion, there’s a quiet virtue that seems almost countercultural: temperance. This ancient biblical principle offers believers a pathway to stability, credibility, and spiritual maturity that stands in stark contrast to the chaos surrounding us. Understanding Temperance When[…]
In a world that celebrates assertiveness, dominance, and standing your ground at all costs, the biblical concept of meekness seems almost countercultural—perhaps even weak. Yet when we examine Scripture carefully, we discover that meekness is anything but weakness. It’s a powerful virtue that characterized some of the Bible’s greatest heroes[…]
When we think about faith, our minds often drift to our own ability to believe—our capacity to trust God, to hold firm when circumstances challenge us, or to maintain confidence in prayer. But what if we’ve been looking at faith from the wrong angle? What if the most important aspect[…]
