All the region were going out to him, and they were baptized, confessing their sins. Matthew 3:4-12.


I am a big fan of the series The Chosen. If you were to ask why, I would tell you that even though we have limited information to define the events we see on screen, there is enough information in scripture to validate … Continue reading

A voice cries out in the desert: “Clear a way for the LORD.” Matthew 31-3.


Matthew chapter three opens with a fast-forward of about 25 years. The headline from the Berean Study Bible (and most of them say the same thing) reads: “John the Baptist Prepares the Way” “And in those days John the Immerser … Continue reading

The Magi, what did they want, and why were they demanding answers from Herod?

I cannot remember how we got to this point, but something got said about hell.


I know many who believe God has already thrown people into hell, but that has NOT happened yet, and, in general,  it will NOT happen until the great throne event at the end of the thousand-year reign of Christ.  Why do … Continue reading

She ran back to the bar and the horrid life she left behind. Yes, there are many things in The Chosen, that are not spelled out in scripture.


This morning, 03/16/23, as usual, I met with the guys from church. As a group, we watch The Chosen and comment on what we notice and how it affects us. No one has much to say, so I do most … Continue reading

Gathering all the chief priests and elders he inquired about this king of the Jews. Matthew 2: 1-12.


If you were hoping for a continued foray into the book of Romans, I must apologize because I am an obsessive multitasker. I had been feeling like I needed to do as I started almost twenty years ago, to read … Continue reading
