Remembering the Body and Blood of Jesus

May 17, 2019

What did Jesus mean when he said, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life?” This video is a short explanation of the meaning and practice of the Lord’s Supper (or Holy Communion, or the Eucharist). For those who are unable to meet with other Christians at a church gathering, this video gives an opportunity to participate in the Lord’s Supper.

Quick Commentary on Sin

March 8, 2019

The seduction of sin is very powerful. It is very easy to be enticed, which is why the world is so messed up. But the beauty of God’s plan to save us is that it doesn’t require us to be powerful enough to overcome the sin. He was powerful for us. God did what was necessary to save the weakest scumbag in existence.

Where Is the God of Miracles Today?

February 6, 2019

The Bible is full of miracles. Some people wonder why they aren’t seeing God do miracles today. Just because you haven’t seen a miracle doesn’t mean God isn’t doing miracles today. God is doing miracles today. This video discusses some possible reasons you may not have seen a miracle, and what our attitude toward miracles should be.

Not included in the video, but relevant to the subject, is a calculation I did regarding miracles. In the video I mention that I believe God will do more miracles in the next 24 hours than all the miracles mentioned in the Bible. Starting with an approximate number of miracles mentioned in the Bible at 160, I calculated how many miracles that would be during the span of an average lifetime of 80 years. 160 miracles per day for 80 years = 4,672,000 miracles during a human lifetime of 80 years. Dividing the approximate number of people on earth (7.5 billion) by this number gives us one miracle for every 1,605 people. So if God is doing 160 miracles per day, only one person out of 1,605 is going to experience a miracle in their lifetime. This may help a skeptic understand why they have personally not seen a miracle even though God is doing many miracles all the time.

Does 1 Timothy 2:11-15 teach that women should not teach men or have positions of authority over men? Here is an explanation of this difficult passage that puts it in its cultural context. Understanding the cultural context helps make sense of these seemingly nonsensical verses. These were pushy women, pushing Artemis, and Paul put a stop to it.
