The Path From Belief to Conviction

The word “conviction” is a powerful word in our language.  It conjures up ideas of not only a guilty verdict from a courtroom setting, but also a solid or firmly held belief, as in the idea that people should be convicted of what they believe.  Vocabulary.com explains this word: “A conviction is something certain: a judgment of guilty in court and a strong belief are both convictions.  In the legal world, when a judge or jury convicts someone of a crime — finding them guilty — … [Read more...] about The Path From Belief to Conviction

Single-Mindedness, Key to Handling Tests & Trials

Some often feel that when a tragedy strikes that the people involved are the worse sinners on the planet.  However, the bible teaches that time and chance can happen to us all: “There were present at that season some who told [Jesus] about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, no; but unless you … [Read more...] about Single-Mindedness, Key to Handling Tests & Trials

Reasoning with God: The Forgotten Discipline

In a world where people are told to "trust the experts," it’s easy to forget that reasoning is a biblical command, not just a philosophical tool. Whether in medicine, politics, or theology, there’s a growing divide between those who accept claims based on institutional authority and those who feel compelled to ask, "Does this actually make sense?" The Bible encourages that question. It doesn’t shy away from scrutiny—it demands it. Yet in many theological circles, reasoned discussion is treated … [Read more...] about Reasoning with God: The Forgotten Discipline

Suspicion – The Silent Destroyer

The world around us affects us in so many negative ways and we all need to begin to see these influences for what they are.

A Mind Fit for Eternity

God has always worked with flawed people. From David's contrite heart to Moses' reluctant leadership, from Abraham's faithful obedience to Peter's impulsive loyalty—perfection was never the requirement. But a willingness to follow, to grow, and to be changed, that is something God can work with. So what is it that makes one person "fit" for eternal life, and another not? Is it simply belief? Is it good behavior? Or is there something deeper happening in the minds and hearts of those who … [Read more...] about A Mind Fit for Eternity

Men: Reclaiming Godly Masculinity

There’s something profoundly broken in how men view women today—and it didn’t happen by accident. From a young age, boys are bombarded with sexualized images of the female body at a scale never before seen in human history. Algorithms push it. Culture glorifies it. But at the same time, those same boys are told that the natural attraction they feel is something to be ashamed of. They’re taught that their desire is toxic. That their masculinity is dangerous. That to simply notice the beauty of a … [Read more...] about Men: Reclaiming Godly Masculinity

Misrepresenting God Distances Us from Him

For centuries, mainstream Christianity has taught the doctrine of the Trinity as an unquestionable truth. It has been described as a mystery, something beyond human comprehension, and many have been taught that to deny it is to reject God Himself. But what if this doctrine is not only inaccurate but also functions as an Idol of the Mind—a humanly crafted concept that distorts God’s true nature? Idolatry is often associated with physical statues and images, but Scripture defines it much more … [Read more...] about Misrepresenting God Distances Us from Him
