Driving a motor vehicle is the most dangerous activity in which most people engage on a regular basis. So one might think that people would learn how to drive more safely and pay more attention to it. Yet many people do not do so. One meets all types on the road. Driving is one activity …
How long does the biblical Millennium last?
The biblical Millennium is mentioned in every verse of Rev 20:2-7. 'He laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent who is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him that he should deceive the nations …

Google is catching up with Facebook
Facebook’s reputation has been tarnished with the Cambridge Analytica scandal and now Google has been caught out by still tracking devices even when location history is turned off.

Ambiguity and exegesis: confusing English words
My last blogpost highlighted the mistake that early Christians made between 'soon' and 'suddenly'. It continues to the present hour, even among academia, with serious practical consequences both to the early Christian church 2Th 3:11 and to current Christianity.

Asking for God’s gift
Multitudes of those who know about Jesus Christ do not know the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus tells us that if they did know the Gospel, then they would have eternal life. He says so in His conversation with the woman of Samaria. Jesus told the woman of Samaria that if she knew the gift …
Secular morality and sex
Secular morality is replacing Christian morality in public life. It is often said that the Christian church was and is 'hung up' on sex. The reality is that human beings are hung up on sex, whether they are Christian or not. Fifty years ago, Christian morality was discounted as a standard for those in public …
