A Home Church Ministry
These posts deal specifically with understanding the nature of God and the teachings of Christ (Theology & Doctrine). Consider these the bricks with which the Church is to become the “pillar of Truth”.
I just finished watching / listening to (most of) Daily Wire's "Terror on the Prairie". So I want to do a movie-review, even though that's not what this page is primarily about, because I think this movie raises several issues that Christians need to think through. So, in this review, I'm going to engage with what I think are the main spiritual issues that need our consideration.
I think we need to challenge the way of thinking that divides life into different spheres and then attempts to assign Jesus' various teachings to their relevant spheres. Jesus is not just Lord over one or two spheres of life, he is Lord over All!
While living abroad in China I began hearing the drum-beat of war. I was there during the Hong Kong crisis and the trade-war.

1 Corinthians 10:10–13 (CSB) — 10 And don’t grumble as some of them did, and were killed by the destroyer. 11 These things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our instruction, on whom the ends of the ages have come. 12 So, whoever thinks he stands must be careful not to …
Romans 13:4 (CSB) — For [government] is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, because it does not carry the sword for no reason. For it is God’s servant, an avenger that brings wrath on the one who does wrong. Look at how much chaos is being inflicted on society because …
James 1:20 (GNT) Human anger does not achieve God's righteous purpose.Hebrews 10:30–31 (CSB) — 30 For we know the one who has said, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, and again, The Lord will judge his people. 31 It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God. There isn't …
