For centuries, mainstream Christianity has taught that the Trinity is a divine mystery—something beyond human comprehension. Many theologians insist that we “cannot fully understand the nature of God.” But does this idea align with Scripture? Jesus Himself said, “He who has seen Me has seen the Father” (John 14:9). And “I have come to reveal the Father” (Matthew 11:27). If Christ’s purpose included making God known, should we accept the idea that His nature is unknowable? Many … [Read more...] about Is God Truly Unknowable?

Let the Oppressed Go Free
We are all different. But what I find very, very difficult to deal with is man’s 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: “Then 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 doesn’t 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 “the state of being wise.” 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 can’t solve his problems. It appears that mankind simply lacks the wisdom to do so. Man doesn’t 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 it’s going to get more difficult for God’s 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 God’s 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
“He is a deceiver! He is a blasphemer! He is an enemy to the Law! He is mentally sick!” Who am I talking about? Your boss? The in-laws? Let’s hope not! How about Satan? That would be an accurate description. No, I am talking about Jesus! He was accused of all of the above and of much more. Recall that he was even accused of being demon possessed, and of actually being Satan in the flesh. Beelzebub. Think about how much it must have hurt to be falsely accused by those whom he loved and … [Read more...] about A Lasting Reputation
