Can a Christian be Demon-Possessed?
So is it possible? Can a spirit who’s not of the Lord dwell in a person who’s saved? Well, before I answer this, I’d first like to call your attention to some of the New Testament examples of demon-possessed people. SYROPHOENICIAN DEMONIAC First of all, there’s the Syrophoenician’s daughter in Matthew 15:22… “And behold, a […]
10 Lies of the Devil (redux) plus podcast
(To listen to the podcast of this post, click here for Part 1, click here for Part 2 and click here for Part 3.) I have written on this topic before. (To read 10 Lies of the Devil, click here. To read 10 More Lies of the Devil, click here.) I feel strangely moved to […]
Aliens, Dead Planets, a Spectacular Earth and the Gap Theory
We have interactive Sundays at our church. Once every month the congregation writes down questions on slips of paper. They are collected. And then the pastor answers the questions during his sermon time for that day. It’s cool. On a recent Sunday one of the slips of paper had a single word, “Aliens.” As our […]
The Beastly Dog (guest blog post)

We are not transitioning towards the next great step in the evolutionary chain. To think so you not only have to have a depraved understanding of the heart of man, but one […]

In Bed with a Demon – Part 1
I remember the concert was at San Jose Bible College in the late 80s. From out of the audience a teenage boy approached us immediately after the final song. I’ll just cut to the chase: He’d flat out encountered a demon. It “appeared” to him in his bedroom. And he was terrified. (I just got […]
Life of a Pastor (and Death)
“Are they servants of Christ?—I speak as if insane—I more so; in far more labors, in far more imprisonments, beaten times without number, often in danger of death…through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure. Apart from such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of […]
