Some of Jesus' quotations are well-known, such as: "Render to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's", but people do not sufficiently appreciate how extraordinary are Jesus' answers.

Jehovah’s Witnesses and their fundamental error
Jehovah’s Witnesses are very zealous with door-to-door evangelism. They will usually engage people with their views about God's kingdom on Earth, and they call their meeting houses Kingdom Halls.

Broadway Christianity
"Enter in at the narrow gate because the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many going into it." Jesus Christ in Matthew 7:13. In this concluding part of His Sermon on the Mount the Lord Jesus warns us against "Broadway Christianity". This is not a warning …

The failure of Gentile Christianity is predicted in Scripture at Rom 11:15. Its revival will come with the conversion of national Israel. Meanwhile, why has Gentile Christianity failed to convert the world? It has been successful in what the Lord called it to. It has evangelized the world Mat 28:18-20, making disciples of all ethnic …

It was an extravaganza that no other country on Earth with such history could …
Matthew 24v24
A Canadian friend asked me how Matthew 24:4 applies in our day. "For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and they shall give great signs and miracles, and in this manner to deceive if it was possible even the elect." Jesus Christ: Matthew 24:24 This follows Jesus' command: "Jesus answered and said to …
Searching for Jesus Christ
Some people find Jesus Christ relatively easily and others have a more circuitous route involving a lot of difficulty. Professor Jordan Peterson seems to fall into the latter category. In truth, Jesus Christ finds us, as the Good Shepherd looking for His lost sheep, but our experience is that we find Christ. One finds Christ …
