Why do we need a mediator?

 

1 Timothy 2:5 emphasizes the exclusive role of Jesus Christ as the sole mediator between God and humanity, affirming both His divinity and humanity. The use of one God affirms monotheism, a foundational belief in both Judaism and Christianity. Referring to Jesus as the one mediator shows that He is uniquely qualified to reconcile humanity to God. Unlike Old Testament priests who mediated through repeated sacrifices, Jesus offered Himself once for all. By saying "the man Christ Jesus," Paul emphasizes Jesus’ humanity here. His incarnation—God becoming man—is essential to His role as mediator. Only by becoming human could He fully represent us and bear our sins.

How does Jesus as the only mediator between God and men tie into the Gospel?

Revelation 22:14 Doing His Commandments

 

As a Christian, if someone presents you with a verse like Revelation 22:14, where it talks about doing the Commandments of God, how do you reconcile that when scripture also teaches that we are not under the law? I had someone present this verse to me after I said we are unable to keep the commandments of God and follow up with, "So what [does] this mean? Because how are we unable to keep them if it says, “blessed are they that do his commandments?“

Are we somehow to mix law and grace in order to uphold this verse?

Is there something about this verse that we are not seeing correctly?

How do you get the right to sit with Jesus on His throne?

The three different translations of Revelation 3:21 arise from variations in Greek phrasing, interpretive choices, and theological emphasis across Bible versions. 

Does the condition that Jesus set for the ones who get to sit beside Him on the throne mean we have to perform a work to meet His condition? 

If not, How does one become an overcomer, a conqueror, and a victor?

Hebrews 4:1 Entering His Rest

 

It is my experience that much of Christianity knows more about the Sabbath Day and being under the law then they do the Sabbath rest that God has called us into because of the finished work of Jesus Christ. However, Hebrews 4 warns us to be careful not to fall short of entering into the Sabbath rest that remains. 

What is this Sabbath rest that God wants us to enter into?

Why do Christians fall short of entering into it?

What does it mean to be Christ's ambassador?

2 Corinthians 5:20

We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.

What does it mean to be Christ's ambassador?

How does being an ambassador of Christ affect how we share the gospel?

The Dividing Line of History

Is the change from using BC/AD to BCE/CE just political correctness gone too far—or does it expose a deeper issue within the Church?  

In this video, I try to unpack how this timing debate reveals a theological blind spot: the Church often marks the shift from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant at Jesus’ birth. But, is this how God marks the shift between the Covenants?

When does a covenant go into effect?

How does knowing when the old Covenant ends in the New Covenant began affect how we understand the scriptures? 

Watch now and rethink what truly divides the covenants.

What's the difference between a believer and a follower of Christ?

 

A believer, from a New Testament perspective, is one who trusts in God's promises, is convinced that Jesus has been raised from the dead, and one who has become convinced that Jesus is the Messiah and author of salvation. A follower of Christ is defined simply as a Christian. Given this description of a believer and a follower of Christ, would you say there is a difference between that and a "follower of Christ"? Some would say, "Yes." Find out what I think in this short video

2 Corinthians 4:3-4 Our Gospel Is Veiled

 

Have Christians stopped sharing the Gospel? Some Christians say that we have neglected our duty to tell others about the Good News of Jesus Christ and have given it over to the government to change the hearts and minds of the people. However, the Bible doesn't point the finger at believers but at something more sinister. Are Christians getting in the way of God building His kingdom? Were believers in the past responsible for the lack of people coming to faith in God?

Would you deny Jesus if your life depended on it?

 

Peter’s denial of Jesus is recorded in all four Gospels. Despite his earlier boldness—“Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you” (Matthew 26:35)—Peter denies Jesus three times during His trial. It’s a moment of fear, shame, and failure. 

Peter’s denial is not just a lapse; it’s a full rejection of association with Jesus. Yet, it’s not the end of his story.

What Jesus did for Peter after the resurrection should encourage all believers who are facing or may face persecution and are confronted with the choice to acknowledge or deny their faith in Jesus Christ.

Saving The World Through Him

In this video, I respond to a challenging comment questioning whether Jesus truly wants to save all people—citing Psalms that speak of God's hatred toward the wicked. But when we examine the full counsel of Scripture, a deeper truth emerges. This video unpacks how God’s justice and mercy coexist—and how the Gospel reveals His heart for every person.

Is belief in God wanting to save the world a contradiction of John 3:16?

Are some people beyond redemption?

Does Genesis 12:3 tell Christians to support Israel?

 

Did the Gospel start in Genesis?  

Genesis 12:3 isn’t just ancient history—it’s a prophetic preview of Jesus. Galatians 3:8 and 3:16 connect the dots: the blessing promised to Abraham is fulfilled in Christ and offered to everyone by faith.  

Watch this Short to see how Scripture threads the promise, the Gospel, and the fulfillment into one powerful truth.

Is Genesis 12:3 about political support for Israel or something deeper?

Calling Evil Good

 

In the aftermath of the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, many people are searching for answers regarding the potential motives for such a heinous act.

The answer won't be found in looking at it from the perspective of those who understand right and wrong from a Christian perspective. The answer will be found in looking at it from the worldview of those who call evil good and good evil.

What does Kirk's death say about the culture of those celebrating his death participate in?

How does our faith in Jesus Christ teach us to respond in love during times like this?

Is Purgatory Necessary?

According to Catholic Answers, the Catechism of the Catholic Church describes purgatory this way:

"All who die in God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven." (Catechism, 1030)

Purgatory is a state of purification for those who have died without mortal sin but still need to be purified from venial sins.  The reason for this is that nothing unholy can stand before God (Rev. 21:27) and we need to be completely purified of sin before we can experience the Beatific Vision.

Does the Bible support the idea that Christians are in need of further purification after we die?

If we must undergo a final stage of sanctification, where does the Holy Spirit go during this process?
