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 Mindāa humanly crafted concept that distorts Godās 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

Where is AI Leading Us?
Artificial Intelligence is advancing at an exponential pace. AIās processing power and programming algorithms are advancing incredibly rapidly and largely out of the sight of the general population. The limitations of power intensive hardware are being solved faster than alternative power sources can be developed. And AI is exhausting the supply of internet text used by programmers to teach it and is now training itself. In some functions, it is already better than human beings, and soon it … [Read more...] about Where is AI Leading Us?
The Closeness of God
If we are honest with ourselves, we donāt always have the feeling that God is relevant to our everyday lives. I donāt mean in the overall sense of knowing Godās plan and purpose. I am thinking of something more up close and personal. The longer time goes on, with the subsequent increase of corruption in our societies, the more difficult it is to feel the personal closeness of God -- that He is there for us on a real and personal basis. We may have understanding in our head, but the daily … [Read more...] about The Closeness of God

Causes of Division
One of Christās primary concerns in His prayer in the garden the night before His crucifixion was unity: "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in … [Read more...] about Causes of Division
The Lying Epidemic
The position of being separated from God leaves a person very exposed to the forces of destruction. Through the prophet Isaiah, God states, āBut your iniquities have separated you from your Godā¦ā (Isaiah 59:2). Sin and God simply do not mix. Not that God doesnāt give space for sin to be repented of ā He does. But when sin is a way of life, certain characteristics develop as a result. One of the main destroying forces that quickly develops is lying. āā¦ your lips have spoken lies ā¦ they trust … [Read more...] about The Lying Epidemic
Choose Life
As God prepared Israel for its occupation of the land of Canaan ā the land He had promised them ā He firmly reminded them of the centrality of His law to their existence. He told them that His commandments were near to them ā in their hearts (Deuteronomy 30:11-14). Godās law set two clear and distinct ways of life before them. On the one hand was life and good, while on the other was death and evil. The law defined these two ways, so they were clearly discernable. The assault on Godās law … [Read more...] about Choose Life
