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 […]

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 […]

Let me ask you another question to answer this question: “What would you say if I told you you could confess your sins to an angel and be forgiven of your sins? If You’re a Christian you would say this is blasphemy. Only Christ can forgive sin! This is also why it had to be […]
In discussions with atheists they’ve asked me: “Why couldn’t God just forgive man without the shedding of blood?” They see the shedding of blood in Christ as cruelty on the part of God towards his Son, and unnecessary. “If I can forgive someone who wrongs me without anyone needing to die, why couldn’t God have […]
Can those who have never heard the gospel or read the Bible be saved? Or does their chance for salvation pass them by if no one brings the gospel to them? Does another person, or a church, have the power to keep people out of heaven, by not preaching the gospel to them? Or is […]
