The Cup of Redemption
I Corinthians 11:25, In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” “A new relationship because of His death!” The communion call is to drink from the Cup of Redemption which is available because He died (the death of the...

Your Jesus?
And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, “Who is this?” Matthew 21:10 The people of Jerusalem did not know who it was riding into their city that April morning. Do you?

Christian Nationalism
Some of us recently attended a presentation on Christian Nationalism which was informative, but not, in my opinion, a “home run.” I left with a better idea about the mission of some who are post-millennials as to how they propose to bring about a utopian world that will then bring on the second coming of Jesus,...
