Does God Hate Tradition? What Are "Traditions of Men"?

FEW biblical phrases are quoted as often—and misunderstood as deeply—as Jesus’ warning about the “traditions of men.” For many believers, the phrase has become a blunt weapon: 'anything old, structured, or inherited must be wrong.' Tradition, we’re told, is the enemy of faith. But that is not what Jesus was condemning in Mark 7. When Christ confronted the Pharisees, He was not rejecting tradition as a category. He was exposing how religious authority can be used to protect se

The Origin of New Year's Day

EVERY YEAR, the world pauses on January 1st to celebrate what is commonly called New Year’s Day. Fireworks explode across the night sky, crowds count down to midnight, glasses are raised in celebration, and many speak of “new beginnings.” On the surface, it appears harmless—after all, what could be wrong with acknowledging the start of another year? Yet when we examine the origin, symbolism, and timing of New Year’s Day through history and Scripture, a far more complex and so

A Return to Baalism: 'The Generation that Forgot God'

THE Book of Judges records a sobering indictment of God's people: “There arose another generation after them who did not know the LORD nor the work which He had done for Israel” (Judges 2:10). This was not a pagan nation ignorant of God, but the children of those who had seen miracles—deliverance from Egypt, manna from heaven, victories in the land. Yet familiarity with sacred history did not translate into living faith. Forgetting God did not happen overnight; it happened t

The Winter Solstice: Light, Darkness, and the Counterfeit Calendar

December 21 (this year, 2025) marks the winter solstice--the shortest day and longest night in the Northern Hemisphere. At this precise turning point, the sun reaches its lowest arc in the sky. From here, daylight begins its slow return. To the modern observer, this is a neutral astronomical event. To the ancient world, it was something far more powerful: a cosmic signal loaded with religious meaning. For millennia, civilizations watched the heavens with awe. They observed pa

When Was Jesus Really Born?

[Reconstructing the Birth of Christ Through Scripture, History, and Chronology] FOR centuries, December 25 has been widely celebrated as the birthdate of Jesus Christ. Yet when the New Testament accounts are carefully examined, especially through the lens of biblical chronology, priestly rotations, and historical context. The traditional date begins to unravel. Scripture does not leave us guessing in the dark. While it never states a specific calendar date, it provides a care

Facing the Last Enemy

“For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.” — 1 Corinthians 15:26 FEW SUBJECTS are more sobering—or more misunderstood—than death. Yet the Bible calls death an "enemy", not a friend, and certainly not a doorway into another conscious world. As Paul wrote to the Corinthians, death is the last enemy that Christ will ultimately conquer. Why Talk About Death? Most people would rather not. Society celebrates Ha

The Trick of Halloween: Glofying Darkness or Walking in the Light?

EVERY YEAR, as October draws to a close, streets and stores fill with jack-o’-lanterns, eerie decorations, and costumes of ghosts, monsters, and witches. For many, Halloween is just a harmless night of fun, candy, and make-believe. But beneath the surface of its festivities lies a deeper spiritual concern—a “trick” that many do not see. Why does this day, rooted in fear, death, and the occult, remain so popular in our modern culture? And what should God’s people make of it? W
