Steve's Daniel Class Recordings
The first half of the book of Daniel provides an inspiring character study. Daniel was chosen by God for purposes that serve faithful saints even today. Daniel endured profound trials, and his humility and service were greatly tested in a foreign and pagan land.
The second half of Daniel lays much of the foundation of Biblical prophecy, and it presents the themes of the antichrist, the Tribulation, the end of the world, and the Millenial Kingdom. Some less-evident prophetic themes may also be present in the book of Daniel, including a return of the Nephilim.
The often-overlooked and frequently-underappreciated book of Daniel emerges in every respect as an essential part of Biblical study. My goal with each lesson in this in-depth series is to forthrightly present what I believe the Scriptures are trying to tell us.

Daniel 10:13-14 |
10/04/20 |
(NOTE: This class gives a thorough review of vss. 13-14 but focuses primarily on vss. 15-19.) In this lesson, we look more deeply at the interaction between Daniel and this angel who is visiting with him. Daniel is quite physically overcome by this encounter, but his responses and words are not to be misconstrued as worship of this angel. He has a genuine fear instead, and there are points to be made here concerning a right relationship with God and the true nature of the Gospel we are called to adhere to. The angel strengthens Daniel and prepares Daniel for the great revelation he is about to learn.

| Lesson 162 |
Daniel 10:12-13 |
09/27/20 |
(NOTE: The lesson the week prior did not get recorded due to technical issues. That prior lesson focused on vss. 12-13 and we learned six ways in which Daniel's prayer life was an example to all of us. It was Enduring, Effective, Elementary, Engaged, Established, and Esteemed.) With that review covered, we now learn in this lesson that we live primarily in a spiritual world, and the things we perceive going on around us often stem from spiritual battles and struggles in unseen places. As our end times dynamics take greater definition, we can expect to see hard times unfold which find their origin in the spiritual battles that have been ongoing since ancient times.

Steve's Articles
It's easy to subscribe to the safe and predictable ideas concerning God's Word. You know - the ideas we've held to for a long time, the things everyone takes for granted.But sometimes the most accurate positions are the ones that emerge when we choose to step out from behind the rigid constraints of stained glass views. We may need to wrestle with uncomfortable themes as we do this. We may need to risk something we most want to believe about God or about ourselves. When I write an article, I use that exercise to process issues that God has laid on my heart. I may spend many weeks on it as I carefully consider its content, or it may rush out of me in one spasm of inspiration. Regardless, I trust these articles will move you, provoke you, and compel you to study the Bible with a fresh perspective.

This is one of those articles that just sort of poured out of me - like it almost had a life of its own. I guess the news lately has had a lot of the same elements in play: lies, deception, a refusal to see the truth, efforts to paint a picture that doesn't exist, and so on. It's all become quite alarming. It's no surprise to me that much of this disturbing trend finds its source on the left side of the political spectrum. This article explores that specific dynamic and lays it alongside some future events which the Scriptures are quite clear about.

In Their Right Minds
|
|
12/30/18
|
This article finishes the story I started in "The Gerasene Incident." Just as the first part did, this second half takes the pieces and parts of the three gospel accounts and develops one cohesive storyline. A little creativity proved helpful, but my goal was to lay a certain foundation. This will permit me to address some misperceptions about fallen angels and demons in future parts of this series. But - for now anyways, Parts 1 and 2 stand on their own as a bit of inspired writing.

The Gerasene Incident
|
|
12/02/18
|
This is Part 1 of what I expect will become an article series that ultimately probes the question, "Are fallen angels and demons the same thing?" Here, I unpack the various gospel accounts of the Gerasene demoniac, and I try to tell the story of what "might have" happened. In incorporating the three accounts from Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and in "reading between the lines," I feel a dramatic scenario emerges. I've done my best to capture that here.

LYING LIPS AND THE APOCALYPSE
|
|
10/09/18
|
We all know that "2 + 2 = 4," but in today's politically-correct environment, it's unpopular to state the truth. This article calls it like it is: the liberals have descended in their behaviors and antics so far that it's clear they are modeling what the antichrist's supporters will be like. This article examines the present state of our nation's culture and political climate, and it places those observations against the facts and texts of end-time Scripture. The picture that emerges "tells it like it is."

DOES GOD LET YOU DOWN

The question is not meant to be irreverent, especially as the Scriptures show other people had their doubts and their unfulfilled expectations of Jesus Christ. The truth is we are called to live "by faith," and that is a posture that overcomes the way things seem to be. Many people struggle with feelings of discouragement in their Christian walk, and cliche answers aren't the solution to these sorts of needs. This article is a probing - and uncomfortable - look at circumstances we all deal with from time to time.
