The Paradox of Perfection

Rethinking Good and Evil in Theological PerspectiveIn a realm beyond human comprehension, where the notions of good and evil blur into a cosmic dance, we find ourselves pondering the nature of divinity and creation. From God’s standpoint, the binary concepts of good and evil do not hold the same significance as they do for us, the sentient beings of his creation. This perspective invites us to…

Feeding on God's Word: The Path to Spiritual Maturity

At the moment of faith in Christ, believers know very little about God, His will, or the many blessings He has provided. Spiritually, they are ignorant babies. This is not a negative, but the reality of the situation. Prior to salvation, the soul is filled with human viewpoint, which is often contrary to God and His Word. This is why Christians are directed to renew their minds (Rom 12:1-2).…

Won't He Do It

Psalms 144:1-2 There is only one strong, safe, and secure place for me; it’s in God alone who gives me strength for the battle. He’s my shelter of love and my fortress of faith, who wraps himself around me as a secure shield. I hide myself in this one who subdues enemies before me. Get A Kingdom Perspective Don’t quit. You are seeing things through the eyes of a worldly viewpoint. God is right…

An Advent Message of Suffering and Deliverance (Micah 4:8-13)

Injustice always creates a state of distress for some, while the ones perpetrating the unjust ways become wealthy on the backs of others who are miserable.

The Prophet Micah Exhorts the Israelites, by Gustave Doré, 1866 As for you, Jerusalem,    the citadel of God’s people,your royal might and power    will come back to you again.The kingship will be restored    to my precious Jerusalem. But why are you now screaming in terror?    Have you no king to lead you?Have your wise people all died?    Pain has gripped you like a woman in childbirth.Writhe…

Homeschool Advice Part 1 | Self-reliance

W9D3: Could today's Humpday be a ramp that launches us up, up, and away?

It’s Wednesday and some people call it Humpday because it’s the middle of the week for the workweek and it’s downhill from here. I like to consider it a ramp that allows us to finish strong by launching us up and over the things that have been put in our way. If we can get things to line up right, it launches us up, up, and away over the obstacles, the troubles, and the trials rather than having…

Considering Psalms, 19 – Psalm 50

Psalm 50 speaks to the true human condition as loudly now as it did 3000 years ago.

(Image Credti – Knowing Jesus) Please read Psalm 50 in whichever reputable translation you prefer. The translation I am using is the New International Version, 1983 revision. This Psalm is attributed to Asaph, one of the primary worship-leaders and composers in the time of King David. The subscript is “A Psalm of Asaph���. A reminder that in their original form, the Psalms, as with all Bible…

Trusting God in Unfair Situations

Let’s face it: life is not fair. Sometimes it is unfair to our disadvantage, but at other times, it is unfair to our advantage. It is interesting how we are prone to cry foul when life is unfair to our disadvantage but are more than glad to accept and rejoice when it is unfair to our benefit. This inconsistency highlights the human tendency to be self-centered and myopic rather than God-focused…

Finding Hope Even in Our Suffering

Adapted from a reason sermon found here. Life is full of joys and sorrows, but there are moments when the weight of suffering becomes too much for us to bear. During these times, it’s natural to question where God is amidst our pain. In this blog post, we will delve into a brief story from John chapter 11 that addresses these very questions. It’s my hope that we discover encouragement together…

Trusting the Lord in Times of Suffering: An Expository Study of Alma 14

In our journey of faith, suffering can often feel insurmountable. It's in these moments that we must remember Christ's example and His ultimate sacrifice.

Alma the Younger and Amulek are led away from the fire that has consumed the believers in Ammonihah. Suffering is an inevitable part of the human experience, especially for believers striving to walk the path of righteousness. In Alma 14, we find a profound example of enduring faith amidst unimaginable trials. Alma and Amulek faced severe persecution and witnessed the martyrdom of the faithful,…
