Pastor Bryan Hodge joins Bone of Bones again this week in part two of our discussion on the biblical response to the seemingly unexplainable.

“Are Aliens Demons?”And Other Questions: The Biblical Response to the Seemingly Unexplainable (Q&A Part 1)
Image Credit: Gongi Montes for Rolling Stone A few years ago we posted a two-part series titled The Starbucks Logo Upside Down Looks like Baphomet: Modern Day Occultism.

Whose Kingdom is It, Anyways?
I was reading through my daily ‘Through the Bible in a Year Plan’ and this Scripture was like an anchor, not letting me surface. I had that nagging sense of déjà vu, a mild sense of uneasiness. I knew this, didn’t I? I did. All of a sudden I felt like David when the Lord confronted him through Nathan the prophet. “You are the man!” I was Nebuchadnezzar, or had been at least.

"We're wondering if you could do us a quick solid and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior." No, not a line from a Babylon Bee article, but an actual quote from the interview the Bee did with Elon Musk recently. Oh, boy. This one has me riled up. I know I'm behind the curve…
Paid by the Convert: Revivalism in America
Today I'm linking an enlightening video on revivalism in the United States and why American churches today incorporate practices such as altar calls, mindless repetition in music, spontaneous baptisms, speaking in tongues, and other forms of emotionalism in worship. Of particular interest is the fact that some preachers during this revival period worked on commission,…
Happy Mother’s Day!
