Alex, remember when you asked that really interesting question about what makes a person a person and about consciousness? I looked into it, and I think what you were experiencing was a symptom called existential OCD. It’s when a person has cyclical thinking about existential topics, and a sense of dread that accompanies it rather […]
Last year my mom and I visited a fresh water pearl farm in Tennessee. Just to give some context, I will tell you a little bit about a recent health trial I went through…I’m sure we all have similar things we’re going through and God has much to teach us and bless us with through […]
One morning, about a week ago, I browsed the internet groggily, still in the process of awakening from sleep, when my mom dashed into the house, excited and concerned, clutching an adorable baby bird in her hands. She opened her hands to reveal a precious face, and a wide-open yellow beak that relentlessly demanded food. […]
Earlier this year I watched a wonder-provoking show in the local planetarium depicting the size and expanse of the known universe. Our planet, the solar system, the milky way, and the known galaxies beyond that we’ve captured pictures of through space telescopes permeated the screen as I rolled through the cosmos along with the rotating […]
When I look at and contemplate charts depicting the laws of thermodynamics, a profound realization hits me and stirs up awe in my heart: they were created by a God and not a mere human or angel, and they did not come about as a result of evolution or chance. A higher than human created […]
Many people say the Sabbath is a shadow that pointed to Christ and was done away with when Christ came… But the truth is the Bible gives the reason for the Sabbath as memorializing the Creator and the week of creation. 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
During an online Bible study group I was in a few months ago someone asked some key questions about the Sabbath that I wanted to bring up. It’s usually the case that when one person is wondering something that it’s become a question in other people’s minds as well, and
I’ve been studying Luke 4:8 and related texts and I’ve learned some important things about what it means to worship God, and what it means to be a human being and offer God true worship. “Thou shalt Worship the Lord thy God and Him only shalt thou serve.” A similar

God always gives us the power to, over time, overcome the sin in our lives. If you’ve been struggling with a certain sin for decades and you’ve wrestled with God in prayer and you’ve been persistent, and still can’t overcome, and you have a mental illness, there’s a big chance that your problem is a […]

I started writing ‘I Shall Behold Him’ as I was studying the role that God has to play in our sanctification and the role that we play in surrendering to Him and in fighting battles of faith on our knees to subdue self and pride and obtain the victory. At the beginning of writing this […]
Bible
Satan had free will in heaven and chose to sin. Adam also possessed free will and used it to sin. Since we will also have free will in heaven, what is to stop some people from choosing to sin in heaven? We’re told that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil, and that […]
One of the most principal truths in the word of God is that “The wages of sin is death.” Romans 6:23 It’s the reason Jesus came and died – to take the death penalty for mankind so that man who otherwise must die, could live forever instead. It’s important to go all the way back […]
I’ve seen this question come up a lot in the discussion groups I’m in: “Why does God have to destroy someone for just one sin? When Adam and Eve ate a fruit they weren’t supposed to eat, they got the death penalty; isn’t that harsh? Shouldn’t they have only gotten a lesser sentence instead, done […]
