Reasons to Believe

Hey everyone, it's Dave here. I've been digging deep into this topic for a while now, connecting dots from ancient texts to today's headlines, and what I've uncovered points to a massive deception on the horizon. We're talking about UFOs—or UAPs as the government likes to call them now—not as visitors from distant galaxies, but as part of a sinister plan to manipulate humanity. With all the recent buzz about declassifications and sightings, it's time to lay it all out. This isn't about little green men; it's about spiritual warfare, fallen angels, and a push toward a one-world system. Let's break it down. The Surge in UFO Disclosures: Not What It Seems Lately, the news has been flooded with stories about UFOs. Just this week, President Trump announced he'd direct the Pentagon and other agencies to release files on "alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs)." [1] He's...

In today’s world, children and families are constantly exposed to teachings in school that promote evolution as unquestionable fact.

  The apostle John wrote a powerful truth meant to anchor every believer’s heart: “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). This is not merely encouraging language—it is a declaration of spiritual reality. The Christian life was never intended to be lived in defeat, fear, or helplessness. God has placed His own Spirit within His people, and that changes everything. Scripture tells us plainly that the same power that raised Christ from the dead now lives in believers. Paul writes, “But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you” (Romans 8:11). Think about the magnitude of this promise. The resurrection power of God is not distant—it is present within every true follower of Christ. Because of this, Paul could boldly declare, “For the law of the Spirit ...

When I think back on those days with my wife in the hospital, it still amazes me how much peace God gave me. The doctors came in more than once and sat down beside me, giving me that look that doctors give when they’ve run out of hope. They’d pat me on the shoulder and say, “You need to prepare yourself. We don’t think she’s going to make it.” But I would look them right in the eye and tell them, “You don’t know my God.” Afterward, I’d go down to the chapel—not to beg or plead—but to thank the Lord. That’s where my tears would finally fall. I didn’t cry out of doubt or fear, but because of the pain I saw my wife going through. Even then, in the middle of it all, I’d thank God for bringing her through. I’d walk out of that chapel strengthened every time. That was one of the first seasons of my life where faith stopped being a message and became a lifeline. I had to learn that faith isn’t pretending something isn’t happening—it’s knowing that what God has said is happening, even when not...

When Jesus Christ gave the Great Commission to His disciples, He wasn’t simply telling them to proclaim a message—He was sending them out with authority over sin, sickness, and evil. The mandate to heal was not an optional extra—it was built into their commission. The early Church picked up that mantle with vigor, documenting healing signs and wonders as normative. What follows is a detailed look at the methods, the mandate, and the historical continuation of healing through the early Church. The Mandate: Healing in the Great Commission In Matthew 10:1, Jesus “called his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction.” The commissioning includes healing every disease and every affliction. Later, Mark 16:17-18 records:  “And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will pick up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly it w...

  When people talk about Bible manuscripts and different Greek texts, it can sound very complicated. But at its core, the debate really comes down to one simple question: Did God preserve His Word clearly throughout history, or did it become lost and need to be pieced back together later? There are two main ways people answer that question. These are called the preservation view and the reconstruction view. Let’s break this down in very simple, everyday terms. The Preservation View: God Kept His Word Available The preservation view starts with what the Bible itself says. Scripture repeatedly teaches that God would keep His Word safe and available for all generations. Verses talk about things like: God’s Word lasting forever Not one word failing His truth being preserved through all generations Because of these promises, the preservation view believes something very straightforward: God did not allow His Word to disappear or become hidden. Instead, it was always available to believe...

In the shadowed halls of 19th-century Cambridge University, where intellectual pursuits often blurred the lines between scholarly inquiry and forbidden exploration, a secretive group emerged in 1872 known as the Eranus Club.(1) Founded amid a rising tide of spiritualism and esoteric societies in Victorian England, this club has long been overlooked in mainstream historical accounts of biblical textual criticism. Yet, a deeper investigation—following the paper trails of personal letters, biographies written by family members, and contemporary records—reveals its ties to Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort, the two Anglican scholars whose critical Greek New Testament edition would later reshape modern Bible translations.(2) Drawing from documented testimonies and interconnected networks, this article examines the club's origins, Westcott and Hort's central roles, and the practices that raise questions about spiritual influences on their work. By connecting the dots ...
