The Verdict

John Munro

July 13, 2026

The city of Babylon represents a spirit of rebellion against God, symbolizing man's organized rebellion against the divine. This spirit is characterized by pride, self-glory, and a desire to reach God through one's own efforts.

Through it all, Moses' obedience and motivation to glorify God are highlighted, contrasting with Pharaoh's refusal to acknowledge God's word. [... more]

From Pasture to Brickyard (Exodus 1:1-22)

The book of Exodus tells the story of how God brought the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and into the Promised Land.

However, the Hebrew midwives, Shifra and Puah, refused to obey Pharaoh's command to kill the Hebrew boys, and instead let them live. This act of defiance against authority is a powerful example of standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity. [... more]

Gnosticism and Truth

The doctrine of election anchors our assurance of salvation in God's sovereign grace, and understanding the false teaching of Gnosticism is crucial for Christians today. Gnosticism involves a religion of redemption through gnosis or elite knowledge, rather than faith, and its influence can be seen in modern forms of eclecticism and syncretism. The church must be aware of the basic strains of historic Gnosticism and stay tied to the written word of God to avoid being carried away by feelings or so-called secret knowledge. [... more]
