Are we predestined to believe? Has God selected who will come to faith and who will not? Do we not have a choice in the matter? That’s the issue that I’d like to address in today’s blog. If you’ve been following along on my blog lately, then you know that I’ve been dealing with issues […]
Can We Lose Our Salvation?
Can we lose our salvation? If you’ve been following along on this blog, then you know that lately I’ve been dealing with topics and scripture related to Calvinism. As I’ve explained, I used to be a Calvinist and had once held tightly to those doctrinal beliefs. However, I have since abandoned those beliefs. Calvinism is […]
Why I Am No Longer a Calvinist
In this blog I’d like to discuss my journey in and out of Calvinism. If you’re not familiar with that word; no problem, I’ll do my best to explain what I mean.

Who Are the Nephilim?
Who are the Nephilim? That’s the question that I want to take a look at today. This is a question that keeps popping up in my ministry. The night before I posted this blog, an inmate in the jail asked me the question during Bible study. I know that a lot of people have the […]

Why I Don’t Tithe
Today I’d like to address why I don’t tithe, and why I believe tithing is not for the church today. To understand where I’m going with this, allow me to first talk a little about what tithing is. If you’re like me, then you grew up in a church where each Sunday morning you were […]
Why I’m Not a Prepper
In this blog I want to share why I am not a doomsday prepper. I also want to discuss the idea of stockpiling goods, which I had mentioned during my very first video review of Dana Coverstone’s dreams. It’s something that I got a LOT of flack over on Youtube, and so I’d like to […]
