Today, as we observe Columbus Day, we find an excellent moment to ponder on God's divine providence. Often overlooked in the midst of barbecues and discounted sales, the monumental voyage of Christopher Columbus in 1492 was no accident. From a biblical perspective,...
In Mark 9:42, Jesus Christ Himself delivers a sobering and forceful warning that should echo in the ears of anyone daring to distort the truths of Scripture: "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great...

Welcome to Part II of our series, "Untwisting the Bible," where we yank twisted Scriptures back into their rightful context. In today's spiritual battlefield of "gotcha" theology, few verses are weaponized as much as Matthew 7:1 and 7:5: "Judge not, that you be not...

Welcome to Part I of our brand-new series, "Untwisting the Bible." Today, we're examining a text so frequently misused that it's virtually become a spiritual cliché: Jeremiah 29:11. It's recited by valedictorians at graduation ceremonies, inscribed in ornate fonts on...
