  Between a Rock and a Hard Place Title: The Revelation of the Seed Through Covenant Throughout Scripture, God reveals His redemptive plan through a series of covenants. Each covenant that includes a mention of the "seed" doesn’t just affirm the coming of Christ—it unveils a new layer of His identity and mission. As if piecing together a divine mosaic, the covenants progressively describe who this Seed is and what He will do. And at the very center of this mosaic stands the Mosaic Covenant itself—not as a revelation of the Seed’s nature, but as a light that exposes our need for Him . Separator Covenant: Mosaic (Galatians 3:19, Romans 7:7–13) "Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made..." (Gal. 3:19) The Mosaic covenant is unique. Unlike the other covenants, it is conditional and does not carry a direct promise concerning the identity of the Seed. However, it powerfully reveal...

The Shadows of Theological Salt : Satan, Sin, and the Responsibility Within The shadows of theological salt have scattered across the centuries—ever since we held Scripture in our own language. The Reformation handed us that gift: the ability to read, study, and understand the words of our Creator for ourselves. That clarity opened our world to the deep, ancient wells of God's truth. But such freedom came at a cost. Many laid down their lives so we might hold this treasure in our hands. And now, we stand in the light of that truth, looking into the face of our King—Jesus, ruler of all things. Yet Scripture acknowledges the presence of one who opposes Him. Whether spirit or creature, we are left with mystery. Some believe this being—Satan—is bound and inactive. Others say he roams freely, devouring at will. Some consider themselves warriors against this evil, while others war within themselves against the “natural man.” But here's the real conflict: Who is the enemy? Is it trul...

  The New Testament and Divorce: A Closer Look at Law, Sin, and the Gospel Divorce is never a light topic, especially when viewed through the lens of Scripture. Let me begin by clarifying my position: I am not here to justify divorce or argue that Scripture condones it. Rather, I aim to highlight an often-overlooked perspective in the New Testament that uses the Old Testament law of divorce to point to something much deeper: the Gospel itself. My stance is simple—divorce, like any sin, brings harm to others and ourselves. However, I also believe that, under the Law of Moses, strict adherence in certain situations—like cases involving abuse or danger—could bring more harm than good. The Law of Christ, which centers on love and grace, protects human life and dignity. No one should suffer physical or emotional torment in the name of religious law. We are not bound to the Law of Moses in that way. With that foundation laid, let us turn our attention to two key New Testament passages...

Are We Wrestling With Demons—or Just Ourselves? Do you believe that what we’re fighting today is simply our human sin nature, or do you believe we’re wrestling with both our sin nature and demonic influence? That was the question of the day. And it’s an important one—because how we answer it shapes how we understand spiritual warfare, personal responsibility, and even the nature of God. The question is rooted in a common belief, often emphasized in Pentecostal circles and many other denominations, that we are actively “wrestling devils” on a daily basis. Much of that belief hinges on a particular interpretation of the story of Job—where Satan supposedly goes before God to challenge Him. But I want to propose something: the belief that we are constantly fighting demons may actually be more about spiritual pride than biblical truth. And ironically, pride is itself a demonic spirit, according to the same reasoning used by those making the claim. So, what’s the real answer to this question...

Looking down through the ages, God beheld a dying soul. Sin had brought separation; never more could man be whole. This was a song sung many, many times in my childhood. But what if God really did look down through the ages and see dying souls? We see in Ephesians that He chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world. We also see that not only did He choose us before the foundation of the world—He also died for the whole world. John 3:17–18 “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” Ephesians 1:3–10 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world…” Such a conflict stands at the forefront of the...

The Unseen Thread  a blog by Billy B ..to discover is to learn; what better way to spend time than in the pursuit of knowledge and the understanding of that knowledge.  Proverbs 2:6 In the world, there are many theories and ideas. Many would say they have resolved the conundrums of the world within their homogeneous minds, so as to not need to search much further than the confines of the social barriers within which their intellect resides. I, however, would dare to implore those of you to whom mystery still calls, and in whom a sense of adventure still rings within the top part of your skeletal frame, to journey to a place where one can wander freely in the realms of the hypothetical—to grasp deeper mysteries than what simply lies before us. We must, however, be very careful to wander only where there is a place for our feet. If we venture into places where the gravity of truth no longer binds us to the floor of reality, we may then discover such freedom that we become statio...
