The stronger your hunger for self-rule, comfort, approval, or pleasure, the easier it is for the enemy to reel you in. But when your desires are ordered by the Spirit, bait loses its pull. A heart filled with God’s Word is hard to deceive.   “Let no one say when he is tempted, ‘I am... Continue Reading

When the soul remembers who God is, fear loses its power. Isaiah adds the reason why the stayed mind of the believer receives God’s peace: “because he trusts in You.” Trust is the bridge between the mind and the peace of God. When trust rises, peace flows. When trust weakens, fear returns. Therefore, God repeats... Continue Reading

Rome ruled with iron. The scepter had slipped from Judah’s hand. The entire world lay exposed…dark, pagan, unfixable. And then…He came. The Tabernacle Had Fallen. The Child Was Royal.   1 Timothy 3:16 — “And without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh.” The door was bolted from the... Continue Reading

It’s a sort of foil towards those who... Continue Reading

If God were merely a God of justice, if Holiness were the only attribute God possessed, then the war bow God used to flood the world would have also quickly sunk his arrows into Noah and all his family for their sin.   The first rainbow did not appear over a meadow of dandelions or...

AI will be everywhere, I agree. Yet it will not destroy all things. It will transform them. It will break the current system, I assume. And it might force us back into another paradigm, one in which education serves those who seek it, while skill-based education applies to those who need training for specific jobs....

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1).   “Test all things; hold fast what is good.” (1 Thess. 5:21, NKJV) Exercise can be exhilarating and infuriating. Exhilarating in that it feels good to get... Continue Reading
