Galatians 5:16-23 teaches that at any moment we are either walking by the Holy Spirit or according to the sin nature. Walking by the Spirit, enjoying fellowship with God, walking in the light are virtually synonymous. During these times, the Holy Spirit is working in us to illuminate our minds to the truth of Scripture and to challenge us to apply what we learn. But when we sin, we begin to live based on the sin nature. Our works do not count for eternity. The only way to recover is to confess (admit, acknowledge) our sin to God the Father and we are instantly forgiven, cleansed, and recover our spiritual walk (1 John 1:9). Please make sure you are walking by the Spirit before you begin your Bible study, so it will be spiritually profitable.

During the past decade so-called “climate change” has become a secular replacement of the biblical apocalypse. Its alarm of dangerous anthropogenic global warming (DAGW) resonates in the hearts of the unregenerate and faithless—those who think they live in a cosmos dependent upon chance and chaos for existence. As this spirit of fear has spread throughout the world’s leaders, hastily-conceived global policies are aggressively promoted so that man can save himself from himself. ...

Most people erroneously view evolution as merely a scientific or biological issue. However, in actuality, evolution is a worldview issue. Darwinian evolution impacts one’s worldview like few other concepts. In the late 1980’s, Dr. Henry Morris wrote a book entitled The Long War Against God in which he showed that evolution is the seed bed or foundation of the major anti-God movements and philosophy’s of our day. Here, Morris revealed evolutionary assumptions behind Communism, Nazism, Racism, Atheism, New Age, and Secular Humanism. Morris’ insights help explain why evolution is so protected in our society in spite of its scientific inadequacies. The theory’s protectors understand that if evolution collapses, then so do all of these other “isms” that are built upon evolution. ...

Ever since Eve, in Genesis 3 questioned God’s instructions, the revelation of Genesis has been under attack. In modern times these attacks have taken a variety of forms. Popular today is an attempt to accommodate the Genesis narratives with current scientific theories. My background is in both the sciences and biblical studies but I am convinced this is a huge mistake. Science changes with new data but sound exegesis of Scripture endures. ...

Some 100 years before the Nazis rose to power, German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) ominously wrote that “we owe the animals not mercy but justice, and the debt often remains unpaid in Europe, the continent that is permeated with Foeter Judaicus … it is obviously high time in Europe that Jewish views on nature were brought to an end … the unconscionable treatment of the animal world must, on account of its immorality, be expelled from Europe.” That such words became prophetic under the umbrella of a secular religion of nature that was Nazi Germany colored by an environmental totalitarian views during the 1930s and 40s, is a historical truth that has been underappreciated for too long a time. Borrowing from Tacitus, Foeter Judaicus means “the odor of the Jews.” For Schopenhauer, this bad odor was Jewish animal cruelty. Furthermore, that Adolf Hitler could quote Schopenhauer verbatim from the top of his head is no coincidence, and neither is the fact that the Jews would find themselves shoved into cattle cars and sent to concentration camps set up like stockyards where they would often be treated like experimental animals. Hitler made sure that the Jews would pay for their animal cruelty by subjecting them to the same punishment that he assumed they were guilty of. ...
