From the beginning, Satanâs desire has been to work contrary to Godâs plan, deceiving the minds of those whom God desires to have a relationship with. This deception began in the Garden of Eden, where Satan planted the first seeds of doubt in Eveâs mind, leading her to question God's word: "Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, 'Has God indeed said, âYou shall not eat of every tree of the garden?' 2 And the woman … [Read more...] about The Great Deception: Satan Masquerades as an Angel of Light

While It is Still Today
Sometimes I muse about what it would be like if we were no longer subject to time as we are now. Scripture says: âBut, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one dayâ (2 Peter 3:8). This gives us a glimpse into how differently God views time than we do. The Bible Knowledge Commentary states the following concerning this verse: ââGod counts time differently than does man. . . . People see time against time; … [Read more...] about While It is Still Today
What Filtration System are We Using?
I was recently given the opportunity to visit some data centers which house computer equipment capable of generating a lot of information. These newest generation of data centers will house AI, artificial intelligence. Server based computer equipment is pretty smart. The amount of information that they will generate dwarfs today's traditional data centers by leaps and bounds, and companies are looking to be a part of this rather large trend that's developing around the world. It's really … [Read more...] about What Filtration System are We Using?
Why Does Man Exist?
In an article dated September 21, 2018, titled âThe Human League: What Separates Us from Other Animals?â the British Newspaper The Guardian states the following: "What a piece of work is a man! marvels Hamlet. How noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! ⊠In action how like an angel! In apprehension how like a god! ⊠The paragon of animals! Hamlet then ponders the paradox at the heart of humankind: what is this quintessence of dust? We are special, but we are … [Read more...] about Why Does Man Exist?
Establishing Thoughts
A wonderful aspect of Godâs creation is the human mind. Certainly man has a physical brain like animals, but the exceptionalism is in the fact that God has given man an additional spirit that animals do not have. This spiritual component empowers the brain to provide wisdom, knowledge and understanding of the physical environment in which man exists. In other words, an intellect -- the capacity for rational or intelligent thought. While this allows man to achieve unbelievable things, it also … [Read more...] about Establishing Thoughts
An End Time Indicator
In Matthew 24:12, the context of a statement by Christ is the time indicating Christâs coming and the end of the age. There are two points that immediately stand out with this statement. First, we can know as a fact that lawlessness will increase. Second, love will grow cold as a result. We can easily acknowledge the first by observation of the world around us. That lawlessness is increasing is an absolute fact. Lawlessness is defined as, âillegality, that is, violation of law or … [Read more...] about An End Time Indicator
2024 Relationship Challenges
Due to the natural proclivity of the human mind to focus inward on self, relationships in âthe worldâ are deteriorating. Nations are turning inward as are the communities that form a nation. We see the emergence of what is being called âIdentity Politicsâ and the âNew Tribalism.â This is a form of polarization which has as its underpinning an emphasis on self. This should not surprise us as we know the god of this world is a self-promoter. At the personal level, our present cancel culture is … [Read more...] about 2024 Relationship Challenges
