Do you believe in ALIENS?? Recently the US government had hearings about it and MATT WALSH shared his enthusiasm but is this all REAL or just a big HOAX an what does the Bible have to say about it? Pastor AJ and Don are not convinced!Devotional: Aliens 👽 Could Be DEMONS 😈 !!! “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against … powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 6:12 Hello friends and have I got something for you to consider this week! IN FACT, I think this one may BLOW your MIND 🤯 and I tell you all about it in my new video “Are Aliens Biblical?” linked below. OK so look, I don’t actually believe in aliens. There, I said it. I guess the idea just always seemed far-fetched and irrational to me. PLUS, there is the Bible to consider. In other words, if the Bible gives us an accurate depiction of God’s creation and man’s fall affecting the universe, where do aliens fit in?? Well, that’s just it. They don’t …. UNLESS we’re looking at them in the wrong way. OK look, I’m just like you. I’m very skeptical of alien abduction stories, however, what if some of these people ARE actually interacting with REAL interdimensional beings like the ones we read about in the Bible? You know what I’m talking about – DEMONS 🤯 I mean, it could actually explain A LOT about our culture and what drives it! It’s why people worship the creation in our contemporary world and frown upon truly spiritual things. However, the spiritual side of life is VERY real and that’s where our true battle is as Christians. Don’t forget it! Application:Do you believe in Aliens? What about angels and demons? Have you ever fought a spiritual battle? Watch my new video “Are Aliens Biblical?” linked below and review your thoughts on the Bible’s version of creation. https://youtu.be/WIvXQmEexnE

How often do you think about the Roman Empire? You may be surprised to know that the Bible thinks about it A LOT and it's mentioned in Biblical Prophecy. See how as Pastor AJ talks with Scott Stripling about the ancient understanding of the book of Revelation! Scott Stripling: https://www.scottstripling.net/ Associated for Biblical Research: https://biblearchaeology.org/ Pastor AJ: pastoraj.comDevotional: Rome in Biblical Prophecy??“This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.” Revelation 13:18Hello friends! Have you ever wondered what the Bible teaches about the end-times? You can learn A LOT in this week’s video with part two of my interview with Dr. Scott Stripling “ROME in Bible Prophecy?” linked below!One of the BIG themes in the book of Revelation is ancient Israel and its relationship to the Roman Empire. That’s why many scholars believe the “seven-headed beast” in Revelation 17:9 is a not-so-subtle reference to the “City on Seven Hills” (aka Rome). Then, taking things a step further, there is also reason to believe the infamous mark of the beast is another not-so-subtle reference to the crazed Emperor Nero who persecuted Christians and was referred to as a “beast” by at least one ancient historian. In fact, “Nero Caesar” actually adds up to the number 666 when using an ancient practice of swapping a number for a name as a form of protection. Crazy, right?!What does all of this mean in terms of Biblical prophecy and the future? I PROMISE you’ll have your questions answered in this week’s video AND the answer will give you even more reason to serve God with passion in your life TODAY!Application:Have you ever read the book of Revelation?What do you think it would have been like to live in ancient Rome as a Christian or a Jew?How should we serve Jesus in our culture today?https://youtu.be/S1gHWAKMay4

Many question the reality of the Bible stories but Scott Stripling shows HARD EVIDENCE for the location of the Hebrew Tabernacle in Shiloh, Israel while also talking about the Mount Ebal curse tablet with Pastor AJ!! Associates for Biblical Reasearch: https://biblearchaeology.org/ https://biblearchaeology.org/staffdig/4257-dr-scott-striplingDevotional: 🤯 Found the HOLY OF HOLIES??“[In] the first covenant …a tabernacle was set up … Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place, which had the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.” Hebrews 9:1-4Friends, what if you had the opportunity to stand in the HOLY OF HOLIES … that’s the inner room where the ark of the covenant containing the Ten Commandments was kept.Well, in my NEW VIDEO (linked below) I speak with someone who may have done just that! His name is Dr. Scott Stripling and his team may have discovered THE PLACE where the ancient Hebrew tabernacle stood in Shiloh, Israel. Crazy, right?!This potential discovery literally BLEW 🤯 my mind, but it also stands as a reminder of another AMAZING truth, that being: We stand in the Holy of Holies right now through the blood of Jesus! Friends, this is HUGE so please don’t miss it! Because of sin, God commanded the shedding of blood as a reminder before the high priest entered his presence. He literally had to sprinkle lamb’s blood on the ark of the covenant. Well, that’s EXACTLY what Jesus is for us today! His blood literally brings us into God’s presence (spiritually speaking) and we can actually have CONFIDENCE and BOLDNESS before the Father. Awesome right?!Take advantage of this opportunity TODAY by spending time with God in the Holy of Holies just like Moses (and Jesus) did! When you do, he will TRANSFORM your soul and equip you to powerfully serve him in your world!Application:Watch my new video “Stood in the Holy of Holies,” liked below, and explain what it might be like to stand in the ancient tabernacle with the ark of the covenant.Have you ever realized that you have total access now to God’s presence because of Jesus’ blood?How can you commit to spending more time in God’s presence?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gx0Sq2AbdY

Answers in Genesis' official position is that Noah's Ark has not been found but is that true? Andrew Jones from DiscoveredSinai.com thinks they haven't given a fair shake at the Durupinar sight near Mount Ararat. See convincing evidence that this IS the place where the ancient ship of the Bible came to rest! Answers in Genesis Canada video on the Durupinar sight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyIqZPA-PFE&t=238sDevotional: Noah’s Ark in PLAIN Sight?! 🤯🤯🤯 “God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark … and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.” Genesis 8:1, 4 W-O-W friends! Thank you all for your patience during the last month as I took a sabbatical for my wedding. Both Emily and I appreciate your prayers and well-wishes for this new season of our lives! We trust Jesus that those same blessings will fall on you and your families now and into the future! Now back to Noah’s Ark … Did you know that many Christians may be completely overlooking THE Noah’s Ark in plain sight? It’s true, and I draw attention to it in my new video “Answer in Genesis WRONG on Noah’s Ark?” linked 👇👇👇 below. In it, the curator of the Durupinar site in Eastern Turkey (Andrew Jones) lays out how a well-known Christian ministry dismisses the evidence for this unique geological formation that many believe to be the final resting place of the Ark that saved creation during the great flood. Regardless of your take on the Ark’s location, this information provides powerful potential PROOF that the Bible stories you read are, well, TRUE. As always, I encourage you to know for a fact, that the Bible is real and offers the ONLY way of salvation in the person of Jesus. Stay blesses friends and it’s great to be back! Application:What are your thoughts on the Durupinar site in Eastern Turkey? What is the lesson in the story of Noah’s flood/Ark for us today? Is there a Gospel message in Noah’s Ark? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex8XaILwMm8

Is the earth young? Michael Jones from Inspiring Philosophy says "No" in a recent video AND he shares several examples from church history but are his assertions valid? See how cherry-picking, sloppy theology and wishful thinking make for a weak argument ... Devotional: 🌎 Gospel BEGINS in Genesis!!! “In six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth.” Exodus 20:11 Hi friends! OK so you all know by now that I’m just a LITTLE passionate about what we call “young earth creationism” but hear me out for a sec. The reason I am is that the GOSPEL begins in Genesis. In fact, origin theories with millions of years actually started with PAGAN Greek culture that said the universe was eternal. I tell you more about this in my new video “Evolutionary Misinformation” linked below 👇👇👇 Nonetheless, this is why the topic is SO important …Evolution (in particular) sees a completely DIFFERENT narrative than the one we read about in the Bible. Evolution sees death before the fall. Evolution sees suffering, pain and chaos in the world AS GOD CREATED IT. Evolution sees mankind as a glorified animal and even CLASSIFIES him as such biologically. That’s why I am a creationist AND why I believe God created the earth in six LITERAL days. I speak at length about the scientific PROOF for the Biblical flood that buried our ancestors along with the dinosaurs. Yet, that same Bible ALSO tells us that God created the world GOOD and that death came into the world through SIN. Then because of that sin, we needed a redeemer Jesus to save us.And this is the point: Old age theories of our origins are actually ANTI-Gospel because the story of our redemption BEGINS in Genesis. You can make an argument for anything but as far as I’m concerned, God made everything in SIX LITERAL DAYS until proven otherwise 😎 Application:Have you ever considered the contradictions between evolution and the Bible?Could you be open to God creating the universe in six literal days?How is Genesis connected to the Gospel?Link to my YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jhUCym6RmYInspiring Philosophy "Origins of Young Earth Creationism" Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLcNTAi0Cw4 Ruslan KD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlD3zLE3M9U Augustine and other church fathers on YEC: https://answersingenesis.org/blogs/calvin-smith/2021/07/12/st-augustine-young-earth-creationist/

You may not think EVOLUTION is a big deal but it is for several reasons and I discuss with ERIC HOVIND from Creation Today! You DO NOT want to miss these SMOKING GUN evidences for Biblical young-earth creationism as well as the TRUE motivation behind evolutionary "science" ... watch right now and SUBSCRIBE! Eric Hovind & Creation Today: Creationtoday.org https://www.youtube.com/user/creationtoday Ken Ham & Answers in Genesis: answersingenesis.org https://www.youtube.com/@answersingenesisDevotional: You Are More than a MONKEY 🙊“Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.” Romans 1:22-23 OK, we ALL know that evolution is just the latest historical attempt at an alternative PAGAN narrative … but this week I had the privilege to discuss why exactly evolution is JUNK “SCIENCE” with my friend Eric Hovind from creationtoday.org. You DON’T WANT TO MISS this video that shares the TRUTH about evolution. It’s linked below 👇 Perhaps the BIGGEST letdown of this new pagan narrative is that it equates human beings to ANIMALS! It’s really not surprising when you think about it right 🤔 … I mean the WHOLE POINT of paganism, idolatry and false worship is to be able to REJECT God’s plan and live the way you want. Today an IMMORAL culture LIES to us about God’s nature AND our own. They certainly WON’T tell you that this new PAGANISM believes the world was flooded too. I know shocking right 😳 … and the science seems to suggest that this happened RECENTLY, just like the Bible says. Maybe this all hits a little too close to home for them? 😬 They WORSHIP the creation and liken people to primates on the tree of life. The TRUTH, however, is that you are MORE than a monkey! Application:Genesis 1:27 says people were made in the “image of God” and distinct from the animals, what are your thoughts on this Scripture? Does Romans 1:22-23 shed any light on the origin of the evolutionary narrative? How should the “image of God” idea affect our relationships with other people? https://youtu.be/_NfJbo2_lys

When you look at the WHOLE Bible it becomes very clear that the LGBT community's view on sexuality and gender is not compatible with God's design. Even MORE unbelievable than explaining away Bible passages is their suggestion that homosexual lifestyles are permissible because of ancient pagan cultures! Queer Grace Article: http://queergrace.com/corinthians/Devotional: 🏳️‍🌈 LGBT Endgame: PAGANISM?? 😳😱 “God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity … their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones … The men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another … receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.” Romans 1:24, 26-27 O-M-Goodness! God made it pretty clear, didn’t he? Well, you won’t BELIEVE what I’ve uncovered this week. The LGBT community is actually using PAGAN CULTURE as justification for their lifestyle and I tell you ALL about it in my new video linked below. Now back to the LGBT … HERE is where we have the problem: Many believers, pastors and churches are simply NOT thinking about the LGBT issue the right way. They’re looking at things CULTURALLY instead of BIBLICALLY. This is EXACTLY what the LGBT is doing – suggesting that homosexual, transgender and gender-fluid LIFESTYLES are permissible because they were practiced in ancient times. BUT (and this is a BIG “but”) the Judeo-Christian BIBLICAL culture NEVER – NEVER – NEVER does the same thing; showing instead that gender is BINARY and “marriage” can ONLY be the union of a man and a woman. Using their perverse logic we should also return to a LEGAL sex trade, gladiatorial games, an CRUCIFIXIONS 😬 … well, maybe that is their ENDGAME? 🤔 Maybe that’s why they SUPPRESS THE TRUTH in unrighteousness (Romans 1:18). On the flip side, the ONLY way our world will find blessing is if we REPENT of our sin, stop TWISTING God’s Word and at least ATTEMPT to live a Godly lifestyle. Let’s be bold enough to call them to repentance and let’s continue to pray these things for the LGBT community and our nation while they increasingly and openly celebrate their immorality 🙏 🙏 🙏 Application:Spend two minutes each day during June praying for the LGBT community and true healing in our nation. https://youtu.be/AGPOtTATZv4

Is it possible to "DE" transition? Brittany Humes talks ALL about her journey into transgenderism and back with God's help as she, Don and Pastor AJ discuss how to LOVE the LGBT community!Devotional: You Can DETRANS!! 🤯🤯🤯“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9Hey friends, you do NOT want to miss this week’s video! I had “Jesus Inspired DETRANS” Brittany Humes IN STUDIO for an incredible message to the LGBT community during pride month. It’s linked below 👇👇👇 so make sure you CHECK IT OUT and share with a friend! Now about the whole DETRANS thing …I’m not sure you realize this friend but NO BODY is too far gone! I mean no body! If my imperfect-self AND this week’s guest aren’t evidence of that I don’t know who is. In FACT, the Bible plainly tells us that God WILL forgive when we CONFESS our sins. And there is the key. When you REPENT of your sexual sin, and any other sins for that matter … God can and WILL forgive. It’s what he does EVERY – SINGLE – TIME!!So I’m reaching out to the LGBT+ community today to tell you the good news, the GOSPEL! Repent of your sin. Stop celebrating IMMORALITY and God will help you “detrans” too! He will show you who you REALLY are. He will help you stop being OWNED by lust. He will help you STOP living the homosexual, drag-wearing, adulterous, porn-addicted lifestyle that holds you captive IF YOU REPENT! So do it NOW and DON’T LOOK BACK to receive God’s cleansing and forgiveness today! He IS faithful!!Application:Read 1 Corinthians 6:18.

What does the Bible ACTUALLY say about those immersed in lifestyles associated with the LGBT? Is it really a matter of preference or just immorality? Pastor AJ and Don discuss with DETRANSITIONER and EX-TRANS Brittany Humes!Devotional: “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” Genesis 1:27 Hi friends! It’s that time of year again where we’ve got to get REAL about sexuality. By “real” I mean BIBLICAL, AUTHENTIC and TRUE sexuality as God intended it. On that subject you DON’T want to miss this week’s video “NOT Female: The Truth about the LGBT” (linked below) with former transgender Brittany Humes! Now back to our topic … In order to understand REAL sexuality, we’ve got to realize there are only TWO GENDERS. Period. That’s it. That’s how God made us in the beginning: male and female. There simply is NO other category. This INCREDIBLE design for sexuality and intimacy literally lays the foundation for society, culture, marriage, family, relationships and more. PLUS, God’s design is BEAUTIFUL. What I love most about this understanding is that it promotes REAL acceptance – acceptance for the way God ACTUALLY made us – acceptance for God’s GREAT design – acceptance for US, just the way we are, PERIOD. Unlike the counterfeit and perverted substitute, God’s version of acceptance doesn’t require you to cut yourself, bark like a dog OR dress up like another person. This month if you are struggling with gender confusion or ANY other form of UNREAL sexual immorality, just REPENT and God will forgive and love you like you’ve never been loved before! Application:Have you ever read Genesis 1:27 before? What are the implications that God made people male and female? What are some “UNREAL” counterfeit ideas the world tells us about sexuality? How can you help impact your world in this age of sexual confusion? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XioWDDkZrY

STOP accepting theories of our origins involving DEEP TIME!! The fact just DON'T line up. The rocks are crying out AGAINST evolution and Tim Clarey, PhD discusses how in this episode with Pastor AJ!!Devotional:“Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, ‘Teacher, rebuke your disciples!’ ‘I tell you,” he replied, ‘if they keep quiet, the ROCKS WILL CRY OUT.’” Luke 19:39-40Friends, I’ve got a question for you today … Can you hear that sound? It’s the ROAR of the ROCKS and I tell you all about it in this week’s video “Noah’s Flood REAL??” (linked below 👇) where I interview geologist Tim Clarey, PhD. You DON’T want to miss this one because the implications are H-U-G-E! Now back to the rocks …Did you know the very ROCKS cry out against evolution and deep time theories of the earth? Yes they do! You may not realize this but the geological column (you know, the layers of rock beneath your feet with fossils in them) was deposited by 🌊 WATER. Mind BLOWN, right? 🤯 🤯 🤯In addition, it is an accepted FACT even in the secular community that dinosaur bones contain SOFT TISSUE! This is literally IMPOSSIBLE in an old earth model. Even fossil fuels and diamonds have traces of carbon 14!Finally, recently formed rocks through events like the volcanic eruption at Mount Saint Helens date to millions of years with conventional methods. How is this all possible? It’s not. The Bible tells us plainly how the earth was formed and the rocks confirm it. Yet, that’s exactly why the public WON’T accept these facts, because they are AFRAID of the implications. It’s also why creation science SHOULD be taught alongside evolution in academia AND in our “public” schools. Food for thought!Application:Have you ever learned these facts for a young earth?

Several candidates have been proposed, including Ramses, Thutmose and Amenhotep ... but who was it REALLY?? Logan Kiesewetter gives us his answer AND tells us all about Tim Mahoney's new Patterns of Evidence film: Journey to Mount Sinai Part II in theaters NOW!! Journey 2 Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_9mBeDJ8kA patternsofevidence.com Expedition Bible (Amenhotep as the Exodus Pharaoh): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JusQxiTXnEDevotional: “During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, ‘Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the Lord as you have requested. Take your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go … There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children.” Exodus 12:31-32, 37 WOW friends have I got an INCREDIBLE message for you today! It’s all about how the Bible is actually a HISTORY book. Yes, you heard me right. Along those lines, I discuss the potential identity of the Exodus Pharaoh with my friend Logan Kiesewetter in this week’s video linked below. OK now about that history stuff … Did you know there is an INSANE amount of evidence showing that the stories we read every day in the Bible aren’t just folklore but historical FACT?! Yes there is! I mean, just stop and think about it. IF the Israelites left Egypt in the numbers described above (probably two to three million strong including women and children), we should find some MAJOR evidence for these events. Well guess what, WE DO!!! In FACT, archaeologists have unearthed an interesting site in ancient Goshen, Egypt called Avaris where a Semitic people (probably the Israelites) lived AND abruptly left just like Moses describes in Exodus. Also at this location is what could be the tomb of Joseph with the bones MISSING. Mind blown, right?! I’ll let you find out for yourself who may have been the Paraoh of the Exodus after you watch my video, but the point is this: the Bible is a HISTORY book. It’s FACTS and it should be treated as such by EVERYONE! Application:Have you ever considered that the Bible is REAL history?

What is happening in our "public" school systems and HOW should Christians respond? Pastor AJ discusses with speaker and evangelist Jed Hill!Devotional: “In her deep anguish Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly. And she made a vow, saying, ‘Lord Almighty, if you will only look on your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord for all the days of his life.’” 1 Samuel 1:10-11 Hello friends and HAPPY Mother’s Day to all of our moms! This week’s take away is a topic that’s familiar to our moms. It’s the idea of “EXPECTING” and in this week’s video (linked below) I discussed how we need to RAISE our expectations in our schools to open doors for God’s presence with my friend and evangelist Jed Hill. Now let’s get back to our opening scripture … Isn’t Hannah’s story AMAZING?! She was the beloved wife of Elkanah, a righteous Israelite from the tribe of Ephraim (one of Joseph’s two sons). The BIG problem was that Elkanah’s other wife, MOCKED and MANIPULATED Hannah because she had no children. God, however, was up to something because Hannah was EXPECTING. That’s right. What I mean is that Hannah was expecting before she was “expecting.” In other words, she BELIEVED her Heavenly Father could fix her barrenness and EXPECTED him to do so with her prayer at the Tabernacle in Shiloh. Therefore, we can safely say that Hannah was “expecting” because she was expecting. Consequently, she gave birth to Samuel, Israel’s final judge and the prophet who anointed King David. Oh, baby! Hannah was EMPTY but she had EXPECTATIONS. What are you expecting your Father to do for you today? Application:Read 1 Samuel 1-2. How can you relate with Hannah? Is there anything you need to give over to God with expectations for something new? Tell YOUR MOM how much you love her today!

Recently, commentator Matt Walsh revealed that he's been the target of leftist attacks and demonetization on his social media platforms. Here's why Christians and the church should FIGHT for the right to express Biblical views on culture AND continue to boldly proclaim the Gospel on every social media platform possible ....Matt Walsh Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LnzDoQE_GcDevotional: “Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great BOLDNESS. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” Acts 4:29-30 Good morning friends! If I may, let me encourage you this morning to do something that doesn’t come naturally to most people: be BOLD! “Now hold on one minute, Pastor AJ, boldness isn’t for everyone!” Is that what you’re thinking? It’s ok if you are. But to the contrary, I’m going to encourage you BUCK the system, the system of your own comfort zone … at least for one minute. My reasoning is that you may not REALIZE how crucial your BOLDNESS is to the advancement of the Gospel in your own community, ESPECIALLY when the God’s truth and the church is increasingly threatened by emerging enemies. In our world, these enemies look like immoral activists, abortion clinics and neo-pagans posing as professors who do everything they can to squelch, undermine and prevent people from practicing Christianity. That’s why you’ve GOT to watch this week’s video “Matt Walsh Cancelled? Is Big Tech Silencing Christian Voices?” (linked below) in which I talk about another emerging concern in the form of the apps we use every day. The unfortunate truth is that these people are very much ENEMIES of the Gospel and that’s WHY we need to be BOLD! That’s why the early church prayed for BOLDNESS when their enemies threatened them with violence. The result was that their world was SHAKEN for Jesus and ours will be too if we are BOLD! Application:Have you ever done something BOLD for Jesus? How did God work through the situation? What are your thoughts on the BOLDNESS of the early church in a pagan culture? Watch my new video “Matt Walsh Cancelled? Is Big Tech Silencing Christian Voices?” and ask God to give you one small way you can be more BOLD for Jesus in your community! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgP1EZ0sHy0

How do we make sense of events like the Nashville shooting in light of the Gospel? Pastor AJ discusses why OUR WORLD NEEDS JESUS and what you can do about it with Don and special guest Bob Popa from the Men's Rally in the Valley! Devotional: “The angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.’” Matthew 28:5-6Hi friends and OH MY!! It’s Resurrection time, can you believe it! This is what it’s all about and I discuss ALL THINGS RESURRECTION in my new video “Resurrection Impact: Why Our World Needs Jesus” linked below. I mean, there’s just NO other way to say it. The resurrection is HUGE. It also has HUGE implications on how we should live our lives AND on how we should interact with culture. Because Jesus conquered death we have NOTHING to fear … like EVER! There is literally NOTHING God isn’t working through when we commit our way to his path. He holds all things in his MIGHTY hand and literally works EVERYTHING to good for those of us who are called according to his purpose. So what do we have to fear? He is Risen! He will take your ashes and turn them into amazement, an exclamation point. He will take your mourning and turn it into a monument of his goodness. He will take ANYTHING, EVERYTHING that could and will possible happen to you in this life and TRANSFORM it into goodness and beauty. That’s not what he does, it’s WHO he IS. Jesus was resurrected because he IS resurrection. He IS life. Jesus IS, period. No matter what you’re facing this week REJOICE because of who he is and what he WILL DO with your life for his glory and your blessing in Jesus’ name! Application:What does Jesus’ resurrection mean to you and why?How does the resurrection speak to ANY circumstances you have been, are currently or ever will face?Resurrection Day is upon us, choose one special way to celebrate God’s GREAT Gospel of his resurrection! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95nemRcFiIE

Does Biblical Hebrew matter? Find out how a better understanding of the original language, history and context of the Bible will change your life! Keith's Biblical Foundation Academy: bfainternational.comDevotional: “Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” 2 Peter 1:20-21Hello friends and make sure to PREPARE yourself for this IMPORTANT message … Are you ready?? The Bible interprets ITSELF! I know, incredible right!? I tell you all about this life-changing principle in this week’s new video “Language, History, Context with Keith Johnson” linked below. You’ve heard the expression before that “context is king” and that’s exactly what I’m getting at in today’s message. The Apostle Peter explains this same thing in our opening scripture when he explains that prophecy has Divine origin. Yes! Scripture comes from God, therefore, our interpretation should NOT come from our own ungodly ideas, feelings, sensitivities and/or not-so-good intentions. On the flip side, when we learn to study the context of the Bible, the Holy Spirit will interpret FOR US. One simple thing you can do to allow God to interpret his own book is buy yourself a good study Bible with notes and introductions that help you understand the original CONTEXT. Another think you can do is watch online videos like the ones I create or listen to sermons from your pastor to help you COMPARE Scripture with Scripture (another way the Bible will interpret itself). Put those two principles into practice in your Bible reading experience to get yourself even more in step with God’s will for your life!Application:What is your view of the Bible? Who wrote it?Do you think we can let the Bible “interpret itself” and how can we do this?Watch my new video “Language, History, Context with Keith Johnson” linked below and explain one BIG thing you’ve learned from your own Bible study!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_phiKtgK5BU

Can the Bible Be PROVED True in a Court of Law? Attorney and former atheist Ohav Cohen explains the TRUTH about the Bible AND what is going on RIGHT NOW in Israel!!!Devotional: The Bible Was Proved True (Period) “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” Romans 1:20 WOW friends do I have a BIG takeaway for you today! The Bible has been proven TRUE! BOOM. You heard me right and that statement should be taken quite LITERALLY. In fact, my guest in this week’s video “Legal Proof for the Bible with Attorney and former Atheist Ohav Cohen” (linked below) will tell you all about it! You might wonder how this can be possible yet this is EXACTLY what the Scriptures teach. For example, look at the passage we started with where Paul explains that the Biblical narrative and Creator are “clearly seen” and “understood from creation.” In other words, we can’t claim an excuse for a life of unbelief on Judgment Day! God’s creation is ITS OWN WITNESS, testifying in God’s court of law that he is REAL and the Bible is TRUE. By the way, it’s important to see those two things together. The creation doesn’t testify to another creator or false god. It reflects the story of the Gospel and openly proclaims our need for the new Adam the Lord Jesus our Messiah. Please hear me on this: People reject the Bible and proclaim a different religious narrative like evolution because, in Paul’s words, they “SUPPRESS THE TRUTH by their wickedness” (Romans 1:18). So NO, you are not crazy. You see reality as it should be. You see the beauty of God’s AMAZING Gospel story in what has been made. Can the Bible be proven true in a court of law? It already has been. The Supreme Judge of the Universe has made his decision and declared his judgment to the ends of the earth. He says, “Believe in my Son right now because it is true.” It’s all true. Period. Case dismissed. Application:How can we try to reach some of those who “suppress the truth by wickedness?” Does today's verse give you new insight into how alternative theories about our origins (like evolution or other religious mythologies) started? What is one small thing you can do to repaint our world in God’s narrative? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeCzinCZ8YQ
