Top 10 Old Testament Prayers #1: Song of Songs 1:2-4. OK, OK… so this is on nobody's Top 5, or 10, or even 50 list. It should be. I hope that I will convince you of how powerful, relevant, and personal this proclamation of th...

This prayer has been so poorly understood and translated so badly, that it is no wonder that it has been largely overlooked. It is perhaps the greatest prayer of faith by someone who has been subjected to arguably the greates...

Teaser: Vagabond Diaries I am taking a short one week break in my summer series, Top 10 prayers of the Old Testament to give you a teaser for my new Gospel Rant Series beginning on Sept 15. It is called Vagabond Diaries. Each...

This prayer has been often labeled the black psalm. You will see why. It ends, “Darkness is my closest friend,” clearly a slap in the face of the God who loves the unlovable. Can we really say such things to God? Isn’t that a...

Vagabond Diaries 2 This is the actual beginning of our new Gospel Rant series called Vagabond Diaries. We are finding fun and creative ways to proclaim the love of God for the unlovable, the unloved, and the unlovely. To acco...

As far as I know, this particular prayer is on no one’s Top 10 list of Top Old Testament prayers—but it should be. If you have ever been hurt, betrayed, disappointed, robbed or abused—and who hasn’t—and you have not experienc...

Thanks for the great feedback. I am so pleased that you are enjoying this summer Gospel Rant identifying and looking deeper into my Top 10 Old Testament prayers. Exodus 33 is perhaps the most provocative to-date. For me, it c...

This prayer should be of no surprise. It is one of the most recognizable prayers of the entire Bible. But the surprising thing about this prayer is not what David says--well--OK, it is that too--but the more astounding thing ...

SUMMER SERIES: TOP 10 PRAYERS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT This one just might surprise you. In Proverbs 30, a man that we know very little about prays an amazing, vulnerable and insightful prayer. In it we learn so much about him an...

SUMMER SERIES: TOP 10 OLD TESTAMENT PRAYERS #9. This is the first of three of the Top 10 that are from a woman. What does Miriam know about the unique character traits of God? Fun. Love feedback. Bill@gospel-app.com. Top Ol...

BRAND NEW SUMMER SERIES STARTS NOW. What, in my opinion, are the Top 10 prayers in the entire Old Testament? It is a very difficult exercise. So much of the Old Testament is prayers. But there are a few that stand out to me. ...

This is the final of 16 shows on the amazing letter to the Hebrews. The author of Hebrews is writing this very sophisticated homily to Hebrew Christians sometime in the late 50s to mid 60’s CE. It is still an infant church, m...

Welcome to God’s love for the unlovable and Gospel Rant Podcast. We are going through the Book of Hebrews. Here’s the question for this show. Can you lose your salvation? And if you answer yes, what do you do or not do to cau...

Hey Dr. Bill Senyard here with Gospel App ministries and Gospel Rant Podcast. Thanks for listening. We have a lot to cover today, two chapters, 8 &9. They represent a single argument or sermon. Very important. Very relevant t...

So who is Melchizedek? Context? In Gen 14, Abraham had just won a surprising, miraculous military victory and is headed home. Two Kings came out to meet him in the King’s Valley (west of Jerusalem?). The King of Sodom, a pict...

I am very concerned about the well-being of teens and tweens today. Frustrated parents, we need big time help. I mean Captain Obvious right? Per the CDC, suicide and homicide rates (10-24) are the highest they have been in de...

Today we dig into the entire concept of entering into God’s rest. Don’t think that it refers to relaxing here. This ain’t My Pillow. Nope, that’s for heaven. Heaven’s going to be great, this ain’t it. Is this important? Yeah,...

Welcome to the Gospel Rant. Hebrews assumes that we Christians are, in spite of what we say, here still on planet earth for a reason only secondarily for our own success and well-being. Face it, heaven would be so much better...

Hebrews assumes that we Christians are, in spite of what we might say, afraid of death. It's a brain thing. To accomplish God’s high Kingdom goals—meaning salvation for others, He requires and even ordains the testing, trials...
