Update News
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 […]
Using equations and deductive reasoning in mathematics, we can understand that there are an infinite amount of prime numbers. Though we are ourselves finite beings, and we can never do each of the equations to find every individual prime number (it would take an infinite amount of time), we can definitively conclude there is an […]
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
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

After spending a lot of time studying this subject from the scriptures and discussing it with other Christians, I’ve come to the conclusion that this issue is broader than the question of the eternal fate of those who commit suicide. The real question to ask is “How does anyone go to heaven–what is the way […]

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
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 […]
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 […]
