The Garden Before the Storm
A work of fiction inspired by Genesis 1–3, Romans 5, and 1 Timothy 2 The sun filtered softly through the canopy of Eden's trees. A thousand birds sang in layered harmony as crystal streams wove through mossy hills. All was life, light, and peace. Eve knelt in a grove of almond blossoms, laughing with her daughters. Her eldest, Talia , held a giggling infant boy on her hip, while Zerah picked fruit into a woven basket. "Mother," Zerah said, placing a ripened fig into Eve’s ha

Rahab: A personal story:“The Day the Walls Would Fall"
By Rahab The wind is strange today. Rahab a personal story It whispers against the stone, as if it knows what’s coming—what I know is coming. The city is quieter than it should be. People still move through the streets, muttering about the Israelite camp just across the river, but underneath, there’s fear. The kind that clings to your skin. The kind I’ve lived with for years. I stand in the doorway of my house, my fingers brushing the scarlet cord tied in the window. It's bri

Rahab a personal story: "When the dust settled"
By Rahab The city is gone. Rahab-a-personal-story The air tastes like ash and crushed stone. Smoke curls from broken timber and shattered brick. It doesn’t even look like Jericho anymore. The walls—those proud, thick things that wrapped our city like a clenched fist—are nothing but torn earth and rubble. Except my house. I still don’t understand how it stands. The wall fell everywhere but here . My home, the one no one wanted, the one they whispered about—the house in the wa

“The Dream of the Second Eden” Part 1
— A dream from the heart of Noah, builder of the ark The night was still and breathless. A pale moon hung over the mountain’s edge as Noah lay on a bed of rough-woven cloth, his muscles aching from another day spent carving wood and sealing planks with pitch. The laughter of mockers had long faded into the distance, but their voices still echoed in his mind. He turned onto his side, whispering a tired prayer to the God who had spoken in thunder and silence alike. And then he

“The Dream of the Waters” Part 2
—A dream from Noah, just before the flood’s fury Noah's Tribulation had not yet come, but the clouds were thick and heavy. Noah lay on the floor of the ark, the walls of the massive vessel groaning in preparation. The animals had settled, their restless movements echoing in the silence that followed the flurry of final preparations. The scent of cedar wood and pitch filled the air, and the weight of a thousand thoughts pressed down on him, as though the world itself had becom

“The Dream of the New Dawn” Part 3
—A dream from Noah - after the floodwaters receded The days of rain had passed. The ark rested on the mountain, and the waters began to subside, leaving behind a silent world. Noah stood on the deck, his gaze sweeping over the barren land, the remnants of the storm still lingering in the air. His heart was heavy, not with grief, but with the weight of something far greater. The flood had come. The flood had gone. But the world before him was not the same. It was a world that

The Infernal Cafeteria Coup
There is a reason there has never been a coup in Hell, although there was an attempt in Heaven. This funny story has been spawned from my study of the Hierarchy of Creation. The Infernal Cafeteria Coup. The cafeteria in Hell was a depressing little joint called The Burning Bun . The décor was a mix of medieval torture chamber and DMV waiting room. The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead like angry locusts, and the vending machine only sold expired energy drinks and lukewarm ir

Hierarchy of Creation: A Redemptive Perspective
A small view of the first Adam will lead to a small view of the redemptive work by the second Adam Created with Glory "You have made him a little lower than Elohim, and crowned him with glory and honor."— Psalm 8:5 (Hebrew) In the beginning, there was glory. God crafted the heavens and the earth, but His masterpiece was mankind. His family. His heart reflected in our flesh. Formed in His own image, man was created to reflect God's rule and character upon the earth. No angel,

Life and Death in the Garden
We know there was Life, but was there death in the garden? Did God create a system of decay within nature that Adam was created into? God looked at all He had created and declared, "It is good'. I am sure that there is no death in Heaven and since death is the 'last enemy' to be destroyed, I think it reasonable to suggest that there was no death in Eden before the Fall, and that death began at the moment of disobedience and sin. The Scriptures present the Garden as a place of

Liberty and the Law of God: Romans 13 today
Preached by Reverend Fictious Cartwright, New England, July 4th, 1776 “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.” — Romans 13:1 Brethren, I speak today not as one drunk with the fever of rebellion, nor as one who loves bloodshed. I speak as a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, compelled by conscience and Scripture to address the storm that now breaks upon our heads. Some have cried, “Romans

The Appointed Time Has Come: Are We Awake to It?
“You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, has come.”— Psalm 102:13 The End Times are here. The set time has come—not only for Jerusalem, but for this generation and for the entire world. Just like the shepherds of old, keeping watch over their flock by night, we may be caught unaware. Those men, most likely thinking it was just another cold shift under the stars, were suddenly met with the most stunning interruption in human history

To Confess or Compromise
The Mainstream Eddies of Oblivion In today’s mainstream Christian culture, there seems to be an unspoken rule: don’t be too controversial . We shy away from sounding too fringe, and our need for acceptance has pressured churches to present a more flexible, culturally palatable image. This isn’t a new phenomenon—throughout history, the Church has wrestled with conformity in every generation. Yet, as we study church history, it’s precisely the non-conforming periods that are m

Lots to Consider
Reflections on Compromise, Fear, and the Cost of a Divided Heart Genesis 13–19 Introduction Lot’s story is one of the most quietly heartbreaking narratives in all of Scripture. He wasn’t a wicked man. He wasn’t a rebel. He wasn’t even faithless in the traditional sense—2 Peter 2:7 calls him “righteous Lot.” And yet his life ends in near-total spiritual ruin: isolated in a cave, his legacy tainted, his future dark. How does a man go from walking with Abraham—the father of fai

Lots in a Covenant
Was Lot’s Deliverance Because of Abraham’s Covenant with God? I believe - Yes, to a large extent. In Genesis 18 , Abraham famously intercedes with God over Sodom: “Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked?” Abraham presses God all the way down to ten righteous people . God agrees not to destroy the city if even ten are found. In Genesis 19:29 , after Sodom is destroyed, this key verse stands out: “So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered A

Is today's church a Zombie Bride?
Or something much more glorious? In the land of England a common young woman accepts the proposal of her handsome prince. She quickly realizes that nothing will ever be the same for her again. No longer a commoner. Her name will change. Her thinking will need to change and the way she speaks will be changed. She would never walk the same, talk the same or carry herself in public the same way ever again. She was going to undergo a transformation. Be 'born again' so to speak, i

God's Goodness is His Glory
Imagine the Glory of God as a person. Well He is. T he Holy Spirit - searching for you. What would He be thinking? From the perspective of the Glory of God In the quiet corners of the world, where hearts beat with silent hopes and dreams, the Glory of God wandered, seeking a vessel to shine upon. He was a gentle whisper, a soft light longing to be seen, not for His own sake, but to illuminate the path of those He touched. “I am the Glory that dwells beyond the stars, beyond t

Pontius Pilate: A man of tribulations
Wrestling with Government Authority as a believer? Pontius Pilate was a man of tribulations, trapped on the edge of two eras on a collision course. Pontius Pilate served as the Roman governor of Judea from approximately 26 A.D. to 36 A.D. His tenure is well documented, and he is most famous for presiding over the trial of Jesus Christ, as we know. Pilate was appointed by the Roman Emperor Tiberius and governed Judea during a turbulent time, dealing with various uprisings an

Jesus Christ vs Shakespeare
There are more eye-witness accounts, internal and external reports, histories and documentations of the life and actions of Jesus Christ than there is of William Shakespeare. The direct, first-hand accounts of Jesus’ life and ministry passed down through John the Apostle were carried through successive generations—Polycarp, Irenaeus, and then Eusebius. By the time we reach Eusebius in the 4th century, we are in the fourth generation of Church leaders who had access to the tea

The Road to Emmaus – A Conversation with the Risen Christ
Happy Easter 2025 Two disciples, Cleopas and another, are walking the dusty road from Jerusalem to Emmaus. Their faces are downcast, their steps slow. A stranger approaches and walks beside them. Jesus (unrecognized): “What are you discussing as you walk along?” Cleopas (sadly): “Are you the only visitor in Jerusalem who doesn’t know what’s happened these past few days? About Jesus of Nazareth—a prophet mighty in word and deed. We had hoped He was the one to redeem Israel… bu

The Rise of Skeleton Sheep
When we are considering the widow in 2 Kings 4:1–7, we find a woman with a household of vessels. We know that she would have cleansed these vessels from any and all impurities prior to pouring in the oil that held great value. Likewise, we today are finding that the Holy Spirit Himself is seeking clean vessels for His indwelling. Yet many of us resist the cleansing process. We have been chosen, brought into the house as a prized vessel. But when the oil is being poured, we ac
