    John 3:16 doesn't say what you think it says

    The most famous verse in the bible. But for 42 years, I had the wrong understanding of this verse. This is going to offend people but I'll take this verse back to its original greek.

    Anointing Vs. Feelings.

    In recent days I have experienced the carnal christian; an oxymoron, if any, and it shocked me to a point that I had to check my motives; that is the Armor of God, in all that I am doing to perfect the Christian walk. Now, I shouldn’t be surprised at these attacks from satan for he comes to...

    Love in Romans

    While I was teaching at a Bible college in Indonesia, I had the incredible blessing of teaching a class on Romans. This gave me the opportunity to study the book of Romans in depth. One of the ways I studied Romans was to study key words used throughout the book. This led to an insight about...

    The New Testament very much uses the term "agape," and it is very much translated as "love." Does that perhaps mean the earliest Christian writers have universalized the term "agape" much like English has the term "love," giving it quite a diverse usage meaning various things dependent on...
