Is baptism necessary for salvation?

The topics of baptism and salvation have been on the minds of men since the time of Christ Himself. If you have ever had a couple Jehovah’s Witnesses come to your door, you were probably told that baptism is explicitly necessary for salvation. “But what happens if you are saved and not baptized?” I asked. They both answered adamantly, you are not saved until you have been baptized. I have chosen to write about this topic because you will encounter it when you are out witnessing. A legalistic nest of lies has been built in the minds of many people today, and ‘salvation via baptism’ is one of them. Read More . . .

Now what if I told you...

This incredible piece of art was not actually painted by artists? Instead, paint accidently fell in the same area over time and it eventually came to look like a three dimensional crevasse that beautifully portrays man's creativity. I hope you would tell me the painting was clearly painted! Why? Because it exists, and is perfectly planned and placed on the pavement by these artists.

Yet this is the product of chance and luck over time...

"For since the creation of the world, His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse." Romans 1:20

Wretched Man That I am!

"For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage of sin. For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good. So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.

For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.

I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!"

Romans 7:14-25

'The Shack' Three Part Review

With over five million copies in print, William P. Young’s The Shack is one of the more popular ‘Christian’ books out today. I heard many theologians I respect say it was a doctrinal mess, while many of my friends and websites I have seen gave it massive recommendations. The only reason I chose to dive into The Shacks pages was to know once and for all, who was right? Read More . . .

Open air at the Ambassadors' Academy

In July 2008, many of you are aware I was given the opportunity to attend the Ambassadors' Academy in California with Living Waters. Following is a video of a short open air I did on Hollywood Blvd.
