Update News
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 […]
I like to go to Hobby Lobby to destress. I’ve had a difficult life in many ways and I have a chronic illness. With the help of supplements and doctors I’ve gotten out of terrible suffering and I’m a lot better, but life still isn’t easy for me. I’ve joked that if I’ve used all […]
In chemistry, cotton is made up of a chain of glucose molecules. Combining sulphuric acid with the cotton in a lab, one can change the molecular structure of cotton and make it into a brownish liquid glycose that resembles maple syrup, and astonishingly, now consists of only one glucose molecule. It has become something completely […]
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 (Exodus 20:8-11). If this is true, then the Sabbath
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

I can’t tell you how frequently it happens that I come in contact with Christians who conclude they’ve lost their relationship with God because they feel angry or jealous or depressed much or all of the time, or because they can’t feel His Presence or His peace. They may find it difficult to focus long […]
Music
I compose music and I’m working on a Cantata… and one thing I’ve learned through the process is that all the most beautiful and wonderful music in the world combined is not as beautiful as the sound of truth, especially present truth. There is no physical bell that can ever be as wonderful to the […]
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 […]
