God sets boundaries for our protection. In fact, the ten commandments are ten edicts of protection for our benefit. God’s boundaries encompass the spheres of morality, marriage, property, government, and nation states. Our God sanctions and upholds the boundaries which are clearly outlined in His word (Deut 32:8). On a practical note, by defining clear […]

Doublespeak is language which deliberately obscures, disguises, distorts, or reverses the meaning of words and there’s plenty of it going around these days. Someone once quipped, “Doublespeak is the official language of every government,” and it’s hard to argue with that statement. You could also argue it is the language of most mainstream media outlets, […]

Some people are following their own vision, yet God desires us to seek His instead. Any fulfillment of a self-aggrandized vision will have no reward in the afterlife. If we do not seek God’s vision, we will perish (Prov 29:18). The birth, death and supernatural fulfillment of God’s vision is how God attains the glory, […]

Some contend that God works in ‘mysterious ways,’ and scripture alludes to this. Our ways are certainly not His. The goal of any Christian is to be conformed to the image of Christ, yet God’s means of transformation is far from logical.

The precise age of the earth has baffled scientists and geologists down the centuries, ranging from 6000 to 4.5 billion years. Not only that, many Christians cannot agree on the exact age of the earth either. Does scripture allude to an ancient cataclysm which predates Noah’s flood? Could this calamity have something to do with […]

Presently the world’s Jewish population is close to 16 million. Being Jewish is an ancestral and religious identity, with most Jews, living in the state of Israel. God is for the Jewish people and He remembers His covenant with Abraham, which is yet to be fully realized. Israel will acknowledge Christ in these last days, […]

The Apostle Paul’s ‘thorn in the flesh’ is often used as an excuse for believers to quit on God. Some scholars claim Paul’s thorn was a metaphor for going blind because he mentions writing ‘large letters’ (Gal 6:11). But what if the answer to the mysterious riddle of Paul’s ‘thorn’ is found within the text […]
