For centuries, mainstream Christianity has taught the doctrine of the Trinity as an unquestionable truth. It has been described as a mystery, something beyond human comprehension, and many have been taught that to deny it is to reject God Himself. But what if this doctrine is not only inaccurate but also functions as an Idol of the Mindâa humanly crafted concept that distorts Godâs true nature? Idolatry is often associated with physical statues and images, but Scripture defines it much more … [Read more...] about Misrepresenting God Distances Us from Him
Knowing God
The Search for Relevance
Today, the entire world finds itself in a time of vast, uneasy change, where economic, social, political, and religious turmoil are the rule of the day not the exception. And now, we hear about the advent of AI. Our minds can only imagine how much thatâs going to accelerate or increase what is already uneasy change. Already, the constant bombardment produces a toxic environment of unresolved stress. Unresolved stress leads to disconnected lives. Disconnected lives lead to helplessness. … [Read more...] about The Search for Relevance
Prophecy: Knowing the Future in Advance
When Paul began to address problems in the Church in Corinth, he clearly explained that the wisdom of God is a mystery, but that the things of God are revealed through His Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ addressed this stating that the Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth and will tell us of things to come (John 16:13). So we have a combination of truth and "things to come" as an aspect of the Holy Spirit. And Peter said that those who were given the Holy Spirit now have minds that … [Read more...] about Prophecy: Knowing the Future in Advance
Godly Church Governance
Many have experienced a variety of approaches to Church government at the human level. A widely accepted government in the Churches was a more autocratic, authoritarian style. It was government from the top-down, investing a large amount of authority in the one at the top. Eventually this led to a more âlordshipâ style of leadership within the Church. It was not an altogether illogical deduction from a human point of view. Godâs governance is from the top down. It flows from the Father to His … [Read more...] about Godly Church Governance
The Image of Jesus Christ
"Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Proverbs 29:18 KJV). The word âvisionâ in this scripture is used in a prophetic sense, a revealed understanding of a future reality. It says that if we lack a purpose and a clear direction of where we are going and how to get there, we are not going to "get there". Knowing where we are going and our purpose, our intent, is extremely important. God gives humanity a purpose, a destination, and He gives us a way to get there. The Bible is a complete … [Read more...] about The Image of Jesus Christ
The Age of Depravity
In observing developments and trends, I am always drawn to the state of the human mind. I am constantly amazed these days at what the human mind is capable of. On the one hand what the mind can achieve in the area of technology is almost beyond belief. But the area of the mind's activity that comes up more often these days is in the area of depravity. A secular definition of depravity is simply defined as âmoral corruption and wickednessâ. The Bible also emphasizes the aspect of … [Read more...] about The Age of Depravity
Rationalism Today
One important concept regarding the economic principles applied globally today was that it sprang from âhedonistic relativismâ which is defined as âdo what feels good now, for there is no God but ourselves, and tomorrow we die.â As ludicrous as this may sound, this is the prevailing attitude of the world today. Hedonistic relativism is a mixture of hedonism and relativism. They both end in the suffix âismâ. That suffix is derived from both Ancient Greek and Latin meaning âtaking side withâ or … [Read more...] about Rationalism Today
