This Man I’ve Never Met

I have never met God, but He has created the world that I live on. He put the grass under my feet, the sky above my head, and the air into my lungs, but I have never seen what He looks like. I have heard the stories of His faithfulness to Abraham and to Moses, …

The Secret Things Can Stay with God

There is an unquenchable desire within each of us to know the complexities of the world around us. We all desire to know the who, where, why, when, what and how of the existence of matter, and whenever an explanation rises up that “seems” to fit the mold, we are satisfied…for a little while. It …

The Patience of Noah

We’ve all heard the story of Job. He was a man who had everything you could want out of life: family, land, servants, honor, and most importantly, the commendation of God (Job 1:8). In a test of his perseverance, God allowed Satan to strip him of all he had, including his own health. To this …

What Do We Know About Joab?

Several years ago, I remember hearing a preacher say that Joab’s relationship with King David changed dramatically after David’s encounter with Bathsheba in 2 Samuel 11. He argued that the closeness they once experienced deteriorated in the following years, either due to a mistrust of the David the man or a soldier’s lack of faith …

The Humanity of Idolatry

Baal. Zeus. Ashteroth. Hermes. Call them what you want, but they all have one thing in common: their uselessness. However, that certainly did not stop people from worshipping them for hundreds and even thousands of years. Great monuments and ornate temples were set up every day to pay homage to these images, giving respect to …

The Cancer of Hidden Sin

It’s a foregone conclusion that everyone reading this article right now has sinned before in their life (Rom. 3:23). It’s also more than likely a foregone conclusion that one of those sins was something that you were ashamed of (Gen. 3:8-13). And probably, if I’m judging with correct motives here, we’ve all tried to hide …

Starting Over

I’ve always been impressed with the strength that our fathers had in the Old Testament to push on and move past people and events. Civilizations around them rose and fell, never to be heard from again, but the nation of Israel (at least in race) still exists today as it existed back then, even though …

So What is it Then?

Talk to anybody about Christianity these days, and chances are you’ll get a version of God that is very loving, easy-going, laid back, and basically portrays the “old grandfather on the porch” stereotype. Not surprising, as this is the version of God that most people would want to have. Nobody would want to have the …

Shakin’ In Yer Boots

In the first century, a Roman philosopher named Rodan of Alexandria said, “Only a brave person is willing to honestly admit, and fearlessly to face, what a sincere and logical mind discovers.” With that in mind, what does the mind discover? First and foremost, when we consider the stance from evolutionists, complete with it’s faulty …
