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

Let the Oppressed Go Free
We are all different. But what I find very, very difficult to deal with is manâs inhumanity to his fellow man. We are not caring about or thinking about the effect our behavior is having on other people, whether individually or nationally. For many people on this earth today, human life has very little value. Solomon had something to say about the state of oppression on the earth: âThen I returned and considered all the oppression that is done under the sun: And look! The … [Read more...] about Let the Oppressed Go Free
God Is with His People
One way that we can make sense of the Church today is to look at the blueprint of how God built up a people to be His people. Since Christ doesnât change, His consistency will be evident in how He dealt with ancient Israel and how He deals with the Church today. As Moses prepared the children of Israel to enter the land of Canaan, he wrote the words of the law in a book and placed that book in the Ark of the Covenant. Then God through Moses addressed the people of Israel … [Read more...] about God Is with His People
The Seven Pillars of Wisdom
The Oxford Dictionary defines wisdom as âthe state of being wise.â It says that wisdom has to do with judgment, discernment, judiciousness, insight, knowledge and learning. And from a human standpoint, we might agree with these words that define wisdom. But at the same time, we can conclude that mankind on the whole man canât solve his problems. It appears that mankind simply lacks the wisdom to do so. Man doesnât know how to achieve peace, put an end to … [Read more...] about The Seven Pillars of Wisdom
By Your Patience Possess Your Souls
In Luke 21 Christ is talking to His disciples who have asked Him what the sign will be that "these things" are about to take place. The time of the end is the context: Nations are rising up against nations, kingdom against kingdom. There are famines, pestilences and great earthquakes in various places. As we go further away from these beginning signs which we can observe today itâs going to get more difficult for Godâs people as the end times draw nearer. It becomes more intensely … [Read more...] about By Your Patience Possess Your Souls
True Character
One take away we could observe from the recent U.S. mid-term elections is that character was a major factor. To clarify, there are two types of character. One is the way the world looks at character, and the other is from Godâs point of view. We need to be clear about the difference.The world looks at character more in the realm of personality which means that character has no real boundaries. It is just the way someone is. The Britannica Dictionary defines character as: The way someone thinks, … [Read more...] about True Character
A Lasting Reputation
It would be reasonable to assume that Jesus Christ, during His human life, was a man of good reputation. But this was not always the case. During Jesus Christâs life He was considered a deceiver, a blasphemer, demonically possessed, and even Satan himself. A man of âno reputation,â no good reputation (Philippians 2:7). How can this be? How much it must have hurt to be falsely accused by the people He loved and for whom He was to give His life. Surely a good reputation is the primary goal of a … [Read more...] about A Lasting Reputation
