A common claim in modern theology lately is that the book of James was not written for the church, or that it represents an early Jewish stage of Christianity that was later corrected by Paul. The argument usually centers on James 2, where James says that faith without works is dead. Some say this contradicts justification by faith alone, so they push James to the margins. Fine. Let’s say someone insists James is not for the church because we are “faith alone”. This issue is

Within modern Christian teaching, it is common to hear that every promise found in Scripture belongs personally and directly to every believer. This claim is often made to encourage faith and confidence in God, yet it fails to account for how the Bible itself presents divine promises. Scripture contains promises given in particular historical settings, under specific covenants, and to distinct individuals and communities. A careful theological reading must distinguish between

Evangelism has always carried tension, even if we pretend it doesn’t. On one side there’s the Ray Comfort style. Law first. Sin, judgment, hell, accountability. On the other side there’s the “God loves you” message that never quite gets to repentance, the cross, or why Jesus actually had to die. Both sides are reacting to real problems. Both sides, when pushed too far, end up shrinking the gospel instead of revealing it. I’ll say this clearly. I love reading Ray Comfort. I st

I want to be clear from the beginning. This is not an attack on people. I know sincere believers who hold Reformed theology and genuinely love Jesus. This is a theological disagreement, not a judgment of hearts. Love demands truth, and truth requires clarity. That is why I believe Reformed theology should be rejected, not out of bitterness, but out of faithfulness to the character of God revealed in Jesus Christ. How Reformed Theology Reshapes God Before Reading the Bible One

I am writing this as a missionary in Honduras who loves the church, serves the church, and spends every day preaching Christ to people who desperately need Him. And I am watching something unfold in both Honduras and the United States that honestly leaves me stunned. I keep seeing Israel flags everywhere. They are on platforms, behind pulpits, hanging from rafters, displayed on church anniversaries and conference promotions. In a a friends of mine’s church they even use the f

When people talk about the rapture today they usually mean one idea. Believers vanish before a seven-year tribulation. The world spirals downward. The Antichrist rises. After chaos fills the earth, Jesus finally returns. That story sounds familiar to modern ears, but it is not the story the early church taught and not the timeline Scripture gives. The earliest Christians believed exactly what the New Testament says. Christ appears once at the end. The dead are raised. The liv

Few topics in the Church are as misunderstood as the relationship between spiritual gifts, faith, and authority. Many believers assume that if the Holy Spirit distributes gifts “as He wills,” then everything depends on Him deciding in each moment when something happens. But Paul’s writings reveal a different truth: the Spirit entrusts gifts to believers, and believers must learn to operate them by faith, in love, and under authority. When properly understood, it becomes clear

When I first heard Curry Blake teach, I was fired up. His boldness and authority message hit me like lightning. He said what few others dared to say, that healing is always God’s will, that every believer has the power to heal the sick, and that if results are not showing up, the problem is never with God but with us. (For the record I would add Todd White in with Curry) As a Rhema graduate, I already believed in divine healing, but Curry’s message came with a challenge that

Let’s begin where we will end. There is no biblical or theological foundation to say that God sometimes wants people sick. From Genesis to Revelation, the consistent pattern of Scripture shows that God’s will has always been life, healing, and restoration. Jesus revealed the Father’s heart perfectly. He healed everyone who came to Him in faith without exception. Acts 10:38 says, “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power, who went about doing good and
