In a world where people are told to "trust the experts," itâs easy to forget that reasoning is a biblical command, not just a philosophical tool. Whether in medicine, politics, or theology, thereâs a growing divide between those who accept claims based on institutional authority and those who feel compelled to ask, "Does this actually make sense?" The Bible encourages that question. It doesnât shy away from scrutinyâit demands it. Yet in many theological circles, reasoned discussion is treated … [Read more...] about Reasoning with God: The Forgotten Discipline

Consumed, Not Cherished: Rethinking Self-Image
In a culture of exposure, I grew up hearing one message repeated over and over to young men: âStop viewing women as sexual objects.â It was a needed message. Men needed to be told to see women as human beingsâdaughters, sisters, mothers, made in the image of God. But lately, Iâve found myself wondering when will we also tell women to stop viewing themselves as sexual objects? We now live in a time where itâs not uncommon to see women showcasing themselves online in ways that leave little to … [Read more...] about Consumed, Not Cherished: Rethinking Self-Image
Let God Prevail
The purpose of this article is to strengthen our courage and confidence by helping us to see our temporary physical lives as a pathway to fulfilling what God's eternal plan is for us.

Is God Truly Unknowable? Â
For centuries, mainstream Christianity has taught that the Trinity is a divine mysteryâsomething beyond human comprehension. Many theologians insist that we âcannot fully understand the nature of God.â But does this idea align with Scripture? Jesus Himself said, âHe who has seen Me has seen the Fatherâ (John 14:9). And âI have come to reveal the Fatherâ (Matthew 11:27). If Christâs purpose included making God known, should we accept the idea that His nature is unknowable? Many … [Read more...] about Is God Truly Unknowable? Â
The Bible is One Book
Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that examines the nature of reality, including the relationship between mind and matter, substance and attribute, fact and value. And sadly todayâs theology is based on metaphysics. That is man using his mind minus the Holy Spirit in trying to figure out who and what God is. Trying to figure out the supernatural by using human reason. It is the human mind without Godâs Spirit trying to figure out God. So, for followers of Jesus Christ, it is … [Read more...] about The Bible is One Book
8 Hindrances of Unity
Why unity? The idea of unity is a very important concept. Paul especially stresses the importance of unity to the Church in Ephesus: âI, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 … [Read more...] about 8 Hindrances of Unity
New Yearâs Day
In just a few days, the world will celebrate New Years Day. Billions of people will participate either by watching through mass media or physically joining in the festivities. To the masses, this practice is secular, enjoyable, and serves as a time to bring the world together. On the surface, this may appear to be true, however, we only need to do a small amount of research to quickly find this is not the case. In 45 B.C., Julius Caesar reformed the calendar, now known as the Julian Calendar, … [Read more...] about New Yearâs Day
