[한글은 여기 있습니다.] In recent months, as tensions flare between Israel and Iran, many have rightly turned to the pages of Scripture, particularly Ezekiel 38–39, to discern what may be unfolding before our eyes. Ezekiel’s vision speaks of a confederation of nations—among them Persia (modern-day Iran)—marching against Israel not to…

[This is a Korean translation of the original in English.] 왜 신약성경은 “주 예수 그리스도를 믿으라”는 명령과 함께 곧바로 “성부와 성자와 성령의 이름으로 세례를 받으라”는 명령을 자주 병행하고 있을까? 만일 세례가 단지 상징적인 의식에 불과하고, 이미 완성된 믿음에 부가된 선택적인 예식이라면, 왜 주님께서는 그렇게 중대한 것으로 취급 하셨을까? 이제 그…

Recovering the Forgotten Demand of Allegiance [한글은 여기 있습니다.] Lately, I have found myself returning to a simple but arresting question: Why does the New Testament so often pair the call to “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ” with the immediate command to “be baptised in His Name”? If baptism…

Have you noticed that some New Testament verses are missing in modern Bible translations like the NIV, ESV, or NLT? Are you familiar with the King James Version Only (KJVO) movement? While I don’t fully align with their position on the KJV, I now understand why they hold such views…

(I gave a morning prayer sermon during Jesus Academia 55th Class. It was originally given in Korean) At 7 PM yesterday, I was asked to give a sermon in less than 12 hours! As someone who hasn’t studied theology and is a layperson, did I sleep soundly after such a…

From October 30th to November 1st, 2024, my two sons, our loyal Jindo dog Bobby, and I embarked on a spiritual reconnaissance trip to Glastonbury—a place rich in Christian heritage but currently overshadowed by pagan practices. While my wife and daughter chose to stay home, this became a boys’ adventure…

Reclaiming the Blessings of Biblical Tithing In today’s church teachings, the profound practice of tithing has often been overshadowed or neglected. Yet, tithing remains a vital principle that aligns believers with God’s revealed will, opening doors to spiritual and material blessings. This essay explores the significance of tithing to God…

In a world increasingly driven by atheism, materialism, and progressive leftist ideologies, it becomes harder and harder to maintain the foundational teachings of the Bible concerning family structure. The Scriptures provide clear instructions on the roles of husbands and wives, particularly in Ephesians 5:22, Colossians 3:18, and 1 Peter 3:1.…

In my journey with various methods of street evangelism, including door-knocking, distributing gospel leaflets, and initiating conversations to share the Gospel, my conviction has always been that persuasion played a key role. My aim was always to present the message of Jesus Christ in an appealing way to encourage acceptance…

(English version is here) 제가 요새 깨닫는 것은 성경의 진리들은 그냥 덮어 놓고 믿을게 아니라 더 깊은 생각이 필요하다는 것입니다. 우리가 단 한 개/단 한 번으로 생각하는 것들이 자세히 말씀을 보면 두 개/두 번에 걸쳐 일어남을 깨닫습니다.

(한글은 여기 있습니다) Introduction In contemporary evangelical churches in the West, certain subjects are often avoided altogether due to their potentially controversial nature, for fear of ‘offending’ our fellow brother in Christ. This culture of political correctness often leads the Church to self-censor and evade necessary truths. Should Christians continue…

The following is my current (as of May 2024) eschatology: what I think happens when I die (or when Jesus returns, whichever comes first), according the Bible. 1. Immediate Presence with the Lord: At death (if I die before the rapture that is), I believe my spirit will immediately be…

Here I reproduce in full the tweet by @travismsnow. I found this to be a very thoughtful dive into the Biblical teaching concerning God’s covenant promise to David and how that will be fulfilled in the literal thousand-year Kingdom.
