Suspicion – The Silent Destroyer

The world around us affects us in so many negative ways and we all need to begin to see these influences for what they are. And not just this present world systems that are corrupted but also our human nature - the natural state of mankind which is tuned into its influence and has consequently become utterly deceived. And these all feed off of each other into a downward spiral, leading humanity toward destruction.  As followers of God the Father and Jesus Christ we understand the ultimate … [Read more...] about Suspicion – The Silent Destroyer

A Mind Fit for Eternity

God has always worked with flawed people. From David's contrite heart to Moses' reluctant leadership, from Abraham's faithful obedience to Peter's impulsive loyalty—perfection was never the requirement. But a willingness to follow, to grow, and to be changed, that is something God can work with. So what is it that makes one person "fit" for eternal life, and another not? Is it simply belief? Is it good behavior? Or is there something deeper happening in the minds and hearts of those who … [Read more...] about A Mind Fit for Eternity

Men: Reclaiming What’s Been Lost

There’s something profoundly broken in how men view women today—and it didn’t happen by accident.  From a young age, boys are bombarded with sexualized images of the female body at a scale never before seen in human history. Algorithms push it. Culture glorifies it. But at the same time, those same boys are told that the natural attraction they feel is something to be ashamed of. They’re taught that their desire is toxic. That their masculinity is dangerous. That to simply notice the … [Read more...] about Men: Reclaiming What’s Been Lost

Misrepresenting God Distances Us from Him

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 Mind—a humanly crafted concept that distorts God’s 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

Measurements of Spiritual Growth

Spiritual growth is measured in two main ways – motivation and action. Action is a literal external behavioral change - the evidence of the motivation. This is what James calls works. It is a change that can be perceived and observed in our daily lives. All motivation and actions are triggered by our thoughts – by our way of thinking.  This brings to mind the process of God’s thinking becoming a part of our thinking which is often hampered by our failure to comprehend the huge gulf that … [Read more...] about Measurements of Spiritual Growth

Don’t Squander Your Opportunity

Some years ago, featured on a 60 Minutes program was a musical performance, “Alive & Kickin’”. The cast was all over fifty-five. Their stories were deeply compelling; overcoming drug addiction, renewing life after a criminal past, and family tragedy. These were individuals who, due to the vagaries of life, missed opportunities to sing and perform. They were castaways being given a second chance to find their voice. In a sense, God has given each of us a second chance to live a radically … [Read more...] about Don’t Squander Your Opportunity

The Truth Will Set You Free?

The truth will set you free!  This is a much-used phrase.  You find it in Martin Luther King’s speeches, inscribed on the headquarters wall of the CIA, and it was used in one of the most recent Marvel movie franchises.   I would suggest that this scripture should not be read as superficially.  We often hear it used in the sense that knowledge is power, or we can set somebody loose from their bondage if we can enlighten them of their false notions and correct them.  … [Read more...] about The Truth Will Set You Free?
