One of the things I find myself thinking about often as a Christian is how to reconcile Scripture with modern society. I have to begin from a settled place. Scripture cannot be broken. There is a clear warning attached to adding to it or taking from it. That means I cannot approach the Bible casually… Continue reading Scripture, Culture, Obedience, Continuity

Many people struggle with Christianity, and especially with the deity of Christ, not because the doctrine lacks coherence, but because they do not understand order and structure. Where order is not respected, structure feels restrictive. And where structure is resisted, divine logic appears impossible. God is a God of order. Creation itself was not accidental… Continue reading the only solution that makes sense

First, what is the kingdom? We need to define it clearly. Scripture speaks about the kingdom of God in many ways, but at its core, a kingdom is the rule and reign of a king over a domain, enforced by his authority and power. One of the clearest pictures of this is in Revelation chapter… Continue reading Thy Kingdom Come

While studying Genesis 14, something stood out to me about Abraham’s journey after defeating Kedorlaomer and the allied kings. After the victory, instead of returning immediately to where he lived, the oaks of Mamre, Abraham stopped at the Valley of Shaveh. That’s where he met Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of God Most High.… Continue reading The Importance of Seeking Godly Counsel in Success

In the beginning, when God created everything, He declared it “good.” This wasn’t just about moral goodness but about functionality. God, in His divine authority, determined what was good for the earth to exist and flourish. He didn’t just make things and leave them to chance; He embedded self-sufficiency within His creation.

Many of the values we admire today: human dignity, equality, compassion, and justice were born from Christianity. But now, it seems like the numbers are declining. Faith looks like it’s fading. Why? Let’s… Continue reading You Can’t Keep the Fruits and Reject the Root

Indeed, Leviticus reveals a God who is intimately involved in every aspect of the lives of the Israelites. His concern for orderliness, cleanliness, and purity, whether spiritual or physical, reflects His nature as a God who desires holistic care for His people. In many ways, this focus on both spiritual and physical health paints a… Continue reading A God That Cares

A Reflection on Luke 24:13–35 Two disciples were walking to a village called Emmaus. They were talking about everything that had just happened in Jerusalem. Jesus had been crucified, buried, and now, rumors of His resurrection were spreading. Then Jesus Himself joined them on the road. But they didn’t recognize Him. “But their eyes were… Continue reading Walking With Jesus, Yet Not Seeing Him

Recently, I’ve been walking through a season of loss, mourning the passing of my father. In the midst of my grief, I’ve found myself searching the scriptures for comfort and understanding about what happens to believers after they die. This journey has led me to explore the concept of Abraham’s bosom and the incredible hope… Continue reading Finding Hope in Grief
