What if our modern theology of politics is far too simple—and dangerously wrong? The Bible doesn’t paint a picture where every ruler is handpicked by God in a neat, predictable way. Instead, it reveals a cosmic drama of spiritual powers, human leaders, and seats of authority that can be used for justice—or deeply abused. To…

Paul tells us that, “None of the rulers of this age understood this [secret and hidden wisdom of God], for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory“ (1 Cor 2:8). This is important to note because we often act as though Satan knew God’s plan all along, but the truth…

The fantasy worlds painted for us in our favorite books are not quite as far away from real life as some might think. The spiritual world of the Bible is dense. In the midst of existence is the Trinity, angels, demons, Satan, monsters, giants, supernatural gifts, an afterlife, bodily resurrection, and much more. Fantasy IRL is…
Satan portrayed his reign over the earth to Jesus when he showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and offered him authority over them if Jesus would only worship him.
