Over the last several days I’ve been doing some behind-the-scenes restructuring on the site and intentionally letting things settle before saying anything publicly.

During that process, a few book links—especially from YouTube descriptions and pinned comments—would have led to a dead end if you clicked them. That’s now fixed, and book links should land where they’re supposed to again.

Some organization on the site has also been updated as part of this,.. If you look around you might have to see some new things. . I wanted the foundations solid before drawing attention to it.

If you tried to grab a book recently and hit a dead end, it should be smooth now.

You may have noticed that I'm doing a lesson series with a montage of clips, and then resharing a longer form video or two to supplement. This is a 5 part series that's scheduled until about half way through january.

Please bear with me, I'm knee deep in prepping another meditaiton room (Romans this time), and a total redesign of my website with several new apps and features that are going to represent a path for you to go as deep as you want theologically.

I'm pretty excited about it and hope to be ready to go in the next month.

But I have to buy myself time to work on this, so real time teaching just has not been something I can do. I'm still very active and responsive here, and I'm sharing things that I think are really impotant based on my burden now and what I'm seeing in real time. (I'm not "asleep at the wheel").

There is a teaching circulating that claims believers no longer sin—either because “sin” is redefined as law-transgression only, or because sin is said to exist merely in the flesh and not in the believer.

That teaching does not stand up to plain New Testament statements.

Scripture absolutely teaches that believers are justified, forgiven, and no longer under the law. It also teaches that sin no longer reigns. But it does not teach that believers no longer sin, nor that moral acts cease to be sin through redefinition.

Here are clear examples, quoted directly from the KJV, where apostles speak explicitly of believers sinning:


1 John 2:1
“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.”
The instruction not to sin—and the provision when one does—are both addressed to believers.

1 John 5:16
“If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life…”
John explicitly speaks of a brother sinning.

Romans 6:12
“Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.”
A command that assumes the real possibility of obedience or disobedience.

1 Corinthians 6:18–19
“Flee fornication… He that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body… your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost.”
Paul addresses believers and calls the act sin without qualification.

The same clarity appears throughout the epistles. Paul consistently exhorts believers regarding sin, not hypotheticals:



Ephesians 5:3
“But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints.”
Saints are addressed directly and warned against sins by name.

Colossians 3:5
“Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry.”
A command that assumes these sins remain a real threat in believers’ walk.

Colossians 3:9
“Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds.”
The old man is put off positionally, yet believers are still warned against sinful actions such as lying.

Hebrews 12:1
“Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us…”
Written to believers (“us”), acknowledging sin as a present hindrance, not a theoretical one.

These passages do not contradict justification or grace. They protect them.

The gospel does not free the believer by redefining sin out of existence. It frees the believer by the blood of Christ, which purges the conscience and provides ongoing advocacy. Grace does not deny reality; it supplies Christ in the midst of it.

We are new creatures in Christ, fully justified and accepted. At the same time, we still walk in mortal bodies and are exhorted to walk by the Spirit rather than the flesh. The New Testament never resolves this by abstraction or wordplay—it resolves it in Christ Himself.

Grace does not deny sin.
Grace deals with sin by Christ, not by redefinition and wordplay.

These people don't teach sinless perfection with their wordsmithing. They teach that a believer can do the same thing a nonbeliveer does (killing, lying, stealing, adulttery, etc.) and it's NOT SIN because sin has been redefined! This is just another form of subtle works justification. They are seeking to be justified in their works, rather than by the blood of Christ.

When The Veil Was Torn — Now Available

This came together quicker than I anticipated. I woke up this morning to an email letting me know the publishing process was already finished.

When The Veil Was Torn is now available in paperback and ebook.

What This Book Is About

Many Christians know that Jesus died and rose again, yet still live with fear, uncertainty, or a lingering sense of distance when they think about God.

When The Veil Was Torn addresses that struggle directly.

In a short, deeply clarifying read, it explains what salvation truly means—not merely a future promise of heaven, but bold access to God right now.

Tracing the story from Eden to the moment the veil was torn at Christ’s death, the book shows:

Why humanity began hiding from God

Why even believers often continue to shrink back in fear

How the gospel truly ended that separation once and for all

It brings assurance, rest, and a clearer understanding of what Christ accomplished as the last Adam.

This is the kind of book you read and immediately think of someone who needs it—a friend struggling with assurance, a new believer unsure where they stand, or anyone burdened by fear-based or legalistic teaching.

A small book with a big impact—perfect for sharing.

Hey everyone — just a quick update.

Last week I posted that gospel-focused video, “From Fear to Fellowship: Salvation Makes You Compatible With God.” I honestly didn’t expect the response it got. So many of you messaged me saying it was the clearest presentation of the gospel you’d ever heard, and a bunch of you said, “I wish I could share this with friends."

iSo… I went ahead and turned it into a short book.

Out of my 30 or so books I think this is the most evangelically focused. It's still targetted for that newly saved audience that is struggling with the implications, but also suitable for someone who has been hearing the gospel, is on the fence, but needs it all "put together".

It’s a small, focused read — perfect for giving out. You’ll be able to get it individually in paperback, or as an ebook on a name-your-price basis. And for those who want to share it around, I’m putting together a 5-pack bundle with a 20% discount so you can hand them out to people who need clarity and assurance.

The title is When the Veil Was Torn: How God Ended Our Fear and Brought Us Near, and I’ll make an official announcement once it goes live — probably in the next couple of days.

Just wanted to give you a heads-up since so many asked about it.

THE MASTER KEY: DANIEL'S 70 WEEKS PROPHECY
The Bible's Framework for Understanding Prophecy

COMING SOON (approximately 1-2 weeks)


What This Book Will Be About:
This won't be another sensationalist prophecy book filled with date-setting and speculation. Instead, it will demonstrate that Daniel 9:24-27—just four verses—is the master key that unlocks all biblical prophecy.


The book will show how Jesus, Paul, and John all built their prophetic teachings on Daniel's framework. It will explain why Jesus actually gave two separate prophetic discourses (Luke 21 and Matthew 24) addressing different aspects of Daniel's timeline—not one "Olivet Discourse" as traditionally taught.

But more importantly, it will demonstrate why understanding Daniel's 70 weeks is essential for protecting the gospel itself. I'll show how confused eschatology inevitably produces confused soteriology—how teachers who allegorize Israel's promises and blur the Israel/Church distinction always fall into works-based teaching about sanctification.


Key Topics:
How four verses in Daniel provide the master key to the Bible's entire prophetic timeline.

The vital link between prophecy and the gospel—and why confusing them leads to works-righteousness.


The critical, non-negotiable distinction between God’s plan for Israel and His plan for the Church.

Why Jesus gave two separate prophetic discourses in Luke 21 and Matthew 24, not one.

How to replace fear of judgment by seeing the Bema Seat as a joyful celebration of rewards.

The difference between biblical watchfulness and the sensational date-setting that damages faith.

The prophetic word is meant to comfort us and reveal our glorious inheritance as heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ.
More details coming soon!

As of Saturday, there's a very good chance that many millions of people will lose access to resources they're counting on to make it.

Today i drove someone to work who was the director of ops of a very large food pantry. She said a lot of the grocery stores here... The big chains are donating quite substantially. She said in her experience Americans really do help each other. That was really encouraging to me. The social media garbage most of this community is consuming is designed to make you feel hopeless and powerless.

That's what one of the things that makes our country unique is that we have a charitable Spirit historically. Anyway, if you have some extra cash, please consider finding out what the food pantries are doing in your area because I'm sure that they could use the money. In addition to many of these people losing benefits, the administration stopped the delivery of millions of pounds of food, and many of the big pantries are scrambling. . I'm not writing this to virtue signal or anything like that. I just know that sometimes we need a reminder that we can actually do something.
