The Conservative Christian Apologist

God the Lord is an unending source and flow of goodness to the righteous.  We may go to the fountain of life and drink deeply to our hearts content.  Every true believer is a child of God and has been reckoned righteous, granted righteousness as the direct result of Yeshua's substitutionary death on a Roman… Continue reading A Free Flowing Fountain →

The Apostle Paul went to Ephesus and started talking about Yeshua and the one true God. Ephesus was predominately pagan and their idol was called, Artemis.  Paul found a few disciples of Yeshua and asked them, " 'Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?'  They answered, 'No, we have not even heard that… Continue reading Maturity In Yeshua →

Time tricks us and confuses what is really  important.  We think our time is very valuable, but it is what we do that gives it worth.  We consider God a subject of time as are we, but He moves with infinite speed, in the future and the past, a thousand years is as a blink… Continue reading Be Ready →

There are many who seek peace today, and peace is good, but at what cost and will the actions taken actually bring about peace?  While we may not be in open war there is hostility on many levels.  The major media corporations promote a secular humanistic world view that foments division in politics, ethnicity, religion,… Continue reading God’s Way of Peace →

"I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me." Psalm 16:7.  "My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night."… Continue reading The Night Watches →

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host: Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen This hymn is well supported in scripture.  Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like… Continue reading Blessings Flow →

Anyone would be wrong to think that he could comprehend God's full plan. (Ecclesiastes 3:11). However, we can see part of His purposes from what He tells us in scripture.  We know that God placed two trees in the garden of Eden, the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and… Continue reading A Plan For Man →

When younger men are given authority by their Fathers, Elders, and predecessors, it is right to charge them with the responsibility they are assuming together with such authority.  It takes humility to advance in one's career and life calling, so Fathers should be called upon to join in this charge and properly establish a sound… Continue reading A Charge For Today →

With all respect, I ask because it has a bearing on whether, or more specifically, to what extent we rely on Him.  This is more than whether He says the same thing twice.  I think the scripture repeats many essential themes numerous times in various ways in order to convey a more full and deep… Continue reading Does God Repeat Himself? →

Do you know right from wrong?  Yes, instinctively, most would respond.  As children of Adam, we have within us the knowledge of good and evil.  It is evidenced by our conscience, which is an inner voice that creates remorse and convicts us with guilt when we do wrong.  There are other voices as well, the… Continue reading Resigning Self →

"The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he fall, be shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand." Psalm 37: 23-24.  "Blessed is the man who ... delight(s) in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and… Continue reading The Bright Glow of Christians →

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob sees individuals.  This is another distinction from the religions of the world that are dispassionate to the masses, even though a prophet or select person may have been specially acknowledged.  Throughout the Bible we see accounts of God's dealings with individuals low-born, humble, Jew and gentile, weak and… Continue reading God’s Care →

Haman was a noble in the Mead and Persian empire.  The King, Xerxes, honored Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, elevating him and giving him a seat of honor higher than that of all the other nobles.  Accordingly with this honor people at the kings gate bowed down to him, but a Jew named Mordecai… Continue reading Haman, Enemy of the Jews →

The world is lost, just as we believers were at one time.  The great news is that today is the day of salvation and the Lord is drawing men to Himself still.  He said, "When I am lifted up I will draw all people to myself." (John 12: 32).  This has at least two meanings,… Continue reading Answers For Hope →

"Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing." I Peter 3:8-9.  This passage is not suggesting approving of… Continue reading Bless Our Revilers →

There is a foundation in your faith that supports all the rest.  This foundation was laid when you abandoned your self and accepted King Yeshua as Lord and Savior.  It was as small and hidden as conception, like a seed germinating deep in the dark soil.  Yet in this spark was life and power beyond… Continue reading With All My Heart →

What fellowship is there between light and darkness? The clear answer is nothing, as to being able to seeing.  If you wish to see, full light is always best.  If you desire to sleep or hide, the shadows or even total darkness will be your best choice.  Twilight is not so much a mixture of… Continue reading Deliver Us →

"And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.  And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him". I John 5:14-15. This passage in I John… Continue reading Pray With Confidence →

There is a love story that will be completed in heaven. This story is an epic story that is as vast as time and deeper than human emotion can contain.  It is a story worthy of Heaven and exalts the only true God who is love.  It starts with the perfect love that exists between… Continue reading God of Love →

I've noticed something about the Holy Spirit in believer's relationships.  You may have observed this as well.  When the Holy Spirit is given reign in the prayer gathering He brings a unity that can only be described as communion.  One prays in the Spirit over a matter or word of God and another will have… Continue reading Holy Spirit Light →

Everyone has a cross, the instrument of our own destruction.  We were made to die as a result of our fallen human nature.  We may live seventy years or so, maybe a little more, but our body and/or mind begins to breakdown.  The stress of life finds the weakest and most vulnerable point and that… Continue reading Your Cross to Bear →

Do you think Yeshua enjoyed life?  The Bible said He was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.  It is indisputable that He suffered, was persecuted, was treated unjustly, and lived a very simple life with no possessions.  Is a happy life dependent on possessions?  Can a person suffer injustice and persecution, but still… Continue reading Enjoy Life →

I'm praying for an upright generation to be born in this earth.  In the Spirit I see a generation that will have faith in God.  They will know God and follow His ways.  They will be gracious and compassionate and conduct their affairs with justice.  They will care for the poor and needy and will… Continue reading A Righteous Generation →
