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: ā€œI, 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

Where is AI Leading Us?

Artificial Intelligence is advancing at an exponential pace. AIā€™s 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?

What Is the Kingdom of God?

What is the Kingdom of God? I donā€™t think we can overstate the importance of the answer to the question.

Unequitable Trading

Coronavirus fears caused global panic.  The financial institutions, speculative markets, manufacturing, retail outlets, travel, supply chains ā€” pretty much anything that is the basis of our modern economy and trading infrastructure were affected.  It canā€™t help but remind us of the volatility and complexities of this worldā€™s forms of trade. Trade is such a foundational part of how any society operates and, by extension, how each of us operates.  Whether we like it or not, nearly … [Read more...] about Unequitable Trading

Help My Unbelief

Godā€™s people experience both faith and doubt in their journey through life. Maybe itā€™s not doubt to the level of denying Godā€™s existence, but we can see many examples laid out for us in Godā€™s word of both conditions of faith and doubt happening to godly people. Satan works tirelessly to sow seeds of doubt. Doubt is something that can grab us, and it can grow and fester. However, there are methods to help prevent doubt, or to overcome it, and to continue to grow in faith instead. There are … [Read more...] about Help My Unbelief

Conquering Frustration

An author named Jackson Brown wrote, ā€œYou can tell a lot about a man by the way he handles these four things: a rainy holiday, lost luggage, a busy store, and tangled Christmas lights. I would definitely add traffic to this list of annoyances. But you probably get that feeling, almost like nails across the chalkboard whenever this list of annoyances is mentioned. Have you ever been frustrated? Of course we all have. Our frustrations are usually caused by small annoyances that eat away at us. … [Read more...] about Conquering Frustration
