Pondering How Three Can Be One
Over the past few days I’ve been pondering the doctrine of the trinity and how three can be one. The Bible tells us that there is only one true God, so how then can our Father in Heaven be God, Jesus the Son be God, and the Holy Spirit be God, all at the same [...]
The Lord Is Our Shepherd
This is what is called a “found poem,” which means that every line of the poem was found in some other writing. In this case, all of the lines of this poem are found in the Bible, from the Old Testament prophets, the words of Jesus, and all the way through Revelation. The lines of [...]
Mix Faith With Doing
“In the same way, faith by itself—that does nothing—is dead.” James 2 Recipes are good. I used to sit and read “The Joy of Cooking,” reading it like it was a literary novel. I was quite fond about the simple way it divided everything up. You had sections on Meats, and Desserts, and even Drinks. [...]
The Evil of Twisting Scripture
“It came about when she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, that his soul was annoyed to death.” Judges 16:16, NASB This has become a savage and vicious verse for me. I used it to alienate a dear sister in the Lord. Vicki was a dear one who ran our office. She had [...]

Saddened by My Fallenness
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Matt. 5:4, ESV Scripture never flatters the human heart. It acts on us directly, “dividing the spirit from the soul.” I find no glowing review of our common humanity, nothing leads me to draw any other conclusion. At our deepest essence, we are depraved, [...]

The Parable of the Good Mormon
25 Then an expert on the law stood up to test Jesus, saying, “Teacher, what must I do to get life forever?” 26 Jesus said, ”What is written in the law? What do you read there?” 27 The man answered, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.” Also, [...]
