The Driftwood Moose Head and the Atheist Art Collector: A Parable

December 7, 2022 by Tony Miano Leave a Comment

What you are about to read is a parable about creation, design, atheism, and the absurdity of Darwinian Evolution. An Amazing Talent Jennifer Szczyrbak is a dear, sweet sister in Christ who, in my estimation, is an amazing talent. She is a sculptor, painter, photographer, and blogger. Jennifer makes her home and has her studio in Minnesota and the shorelines of the "Land of … [Read more...]

Revisiting the “Sinner’s Prayer”: A Conversation with Kim

May 15, 2021 by Tony Miano Leave a Comment

One conversation with Kim resulted in another conversation with another Kim. Confused? Allow me to explain. Kim at the Corner of Harrison and Locust A little more than a week ago, I met a man named Kim on the corner of Harrison and Locust, in Davenport, IA. I gave him a gospel tract. He lingered for a moment or two indicating he might want to talk. At one point, I asked … [Read more...]

Update: Bethelites at a Benny Hinn Show (James Bynum is Now with the Lord)

February 7, 2021 by Tony Miano Leave a Comment

UPDATE: February 7, 2021 This morning I learned that James Bynum entered into the presence of Jesus yesterday. You can read the details of his passing, HERE. I posted the following on James' Facebook wall: "Diane: Mahria and I just learned of James' passing on to glory.

The Errant Theology of “You’re Pushing People Away from Jesus”

March 1, 2020 by Tony Miano 2 Comments

A common objection to most forms of public/street evangelism, especially open-air preaching--an objection made by professing Christians--is the notion of "pushing people away from Jesus." The argument goes like this: "If you do [blank], then unbelievers will be pushed away from Jesus." As I will show in this article, there is no biblical support for this claim. A Request from … [Read more...]

Crosswalking: How Lawn Mowing Helped Gabriel Understand the Gospel

January 15, 2019 by Tony Miano 1 Comment

While on the University of Iowa campus, Gabriel approached me and said, "I'll stop and talk." The Lord would use the Lawn Mowing Analogy to impact Gabriel's thinking. New Semester at the University of Iowa Evangelist Ray Comfort has often said, regarding evangelism, "I leave the house dragging my feet, but I come home clicking my heels." Anyone regularly engaged in public or … [Read more...]

Word Study: “Life” in the Gospel of John

April 2, 2018 by Tony Miano 10 Comments

The word "life" appears 47 times in the ESV translation of the Gospel of John. "Life" is translated from three primary Greek words--"Zoe," "Psuche," and "Bios." One appears in the Gospel of John more than any other. One appears only a few times. And one doesn't appear at all. The Reason for This Study I recently returned home from my second trip to Kenya. God has graciously … [Read more...]

Parable of the Helpful Dead Man: Arminianism Found Wanting

June 13, 2017 by Tony Miano 2 Comments

Consistent adherents to the theological construct knowns as "Arminianism" subscribe to the belief that they participate in their salvation. The theological term for this belief is "Synergism." While this belief is consistent with Arminianism, it is utterly inconsistent with Scripture. I hope my use of a parable in this article, supported by Scripture, will drive this point … [Read more...]

Christian Nationalism: Don’t Want Something God Never Promised

December 12, 2022 By Tony Miano 2 Comments

If Christian Nationalism succeeds (I don't believe it will succeed nor do I hope it will), then American Christians will be robbed of something many American evangelicals do everything they can to … Continue Reading
