Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People? (Pt.8) (286) – February 22 2025

Play this episode This week we walk through the following passage of Scripture. We will let it Speak for Itself: Romans 6:6-18 (Amplified Classic Version): 6 We know that our old (unrenewed) self was nailed to the cross with Him in order that [our] body [which is the instrument] of sin might be made ineffective and inactive for evil, that we might no longer be the slaves of sin.7 For when a…

The Blessings of Humility and the Fear of the Lord

Proverbs 22:4 says, “True humility and fear of the Lord lead to riches, honor, and long life.” At first glance, this might seem like an oversimplified promise. But when we dig deeper, we see that this verse is a profound principle: living in alignment with God’s wisdom often leads to blessings and well-being. Let’s explore how humility and the fear of the Lord practically and spiritually pave the…

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…

Jesus as the Eternal God: Responding to Life After Ministry - "BOM: Jesus is God"

Critics consistently present information that causes misunderstandings of Latter-day Saint teachings. Specifically, they tend to confuse LDS understanding of Christ and His divinity. They often claim contradictions between the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and LDS teaching. The clear truth – the harmony affirms Jesus as the Eternal God and yet the Son of the Living God subordinate to the…

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…

Sunday Morning Coffee: The Mind of Christ

This is a verse that leads me to some very deep thinking: Colossians 3:16: “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord“.  The word of Christ tells us the mind of Christ. If you want to know what He thinks, go find your Bible. My favorite “songs, hymns, and…

Doctrine and Covenants 3:1–22 | Trusting God’s Wisdom for Personal Revelation and Faith

When Joseph Smith lost the 116 pages of the Book of Mormon manuscript, it wasn’t just a personal failure—it was a turning point. Doctrine and Covenants 3:1–22 reveals how God responded with both rebuke and reassurance, teaching that His work cannot be stopped by human mistakes. These verses are a reminder that trusting God’s wisdom, even in moments of failure, brings unexpected strength and…

The next several homeschool posts will be advice I’d give to myself if I could have a do-over, including rejecting the lie of self-reliance. But before I continue, note two important facts.

Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People? (Pt.7) (285) – February 15 2025

Choose your Podcast App to Play this episode Our soul (mind, will and emotions) is not transformed when we give our life to Christ. Our free will choice has full control over when it wants to begin transformation. This process only begins once we accept the Word of God (the Bible) as the Truth, and do it, not just hearing it, deceiving ourselves. While the portion of our mind that isn’t yet…

Understanding 'Saviors of Men' Through a Latter-day Saint Lens: Faith, Salvation, and Discipleship

The idea of being a “savior of men” in Latter-day Saint teachings often sparks curiosity and, at times, criticism. Rooted in Doctrine and Covenants 103:9, this concept points to the Lord calling His people to assist in His work of salvation, both for the living and the dead. Critics like Michelle Grim have raised questions about this phrase, but it’s true meaning aligns with faith in Jesus Christ…

God Works All Things Together for Good

The apostle Paul, in his letter to the Christians in Rome, acknowledged “the sufferings of this present time” (Rom 8:18), our inner “groaning” (Rom 8:23), and our “weakness” as humans (Rom 8:26). However, he shifted the focus away from our difficulties and onto God, stating, “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him, to those who are called according…

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…
