Spiritual Answers For The Real World
The world has always resisted the Biblical Jesus. By that I mean the supernatural Jesus. The Son of God. The man raised from the dead. The man who claimed to be “the way, truth and life.” The man who clearly said there was no name under heaven other than his - that produces eternal life.
Fear is the most destructive of human emotions and the Bible teaches that God does not want his children to be afraid. The problem with fear is that we very often deny that we are afraid. We interpret fear as being the emotion we feel when someone jumps out of a closet and says boo! [...]
The ability to distinguish between what I want and what I really need is one of the most valuable spiritual tools a Christian has to work with. It is a valuable tool because for most people it holds the key to gratitude, which is the attitude that makes personal peace possible. The Bible talks about [...]
I once heard someone say, “my mind is like a bad neighborhood – I should never go there alone”. When believer’s venture into a type of thinking that excludes the Holy Spirit they step onto thin ice. It is easy to begin to feel as though we are unappreciated, or that our circumstances are such [...]
Let us suppose I have several children. I love them equally. None of them are perfect, but I love them anyway. They are all fathered by me and have my genes and my blood. My desire is that they love each other as much as I love them, but they have problems with each other [...]
God is fearless and perfectly unselfish. There is no threat to the “self” of God and that is the source of his perfect righteousness. It is also the prerequisite for perfect love. God is love because God is perfectly fearless and unselfish. This enables Him to love completely in total abandon, holding nothing back. [...]
What is the fundamental issue or condition that produces righteousness in God that human beings are unable to duplicate, no matter how hard they try. What is it that is inherent in God, that people can’t match on their best day or their best moment.
The Christian idea that humans are cut off from God because of being inherently unrighteous is the part of the Christian message that is most unpopular. Because many people embrace the idea that variable truth is possible, they reject the proposition of being unrighteous and justify the decision by comparing themselves to themselves.
The Bible reveals that sin is at the very center of the nature of human beings and is a terminal condition that results in spiritual death and separation from God. It is this revelation of the nature of sin that makes up the “bad news” portion of the Hebrew revelation we know as The Old [...]
After the Hebrews spent four-hundred plus years in Egypt as slaves, a descendent of Abraham named Moses was called by God from a burning bush. God told Moses to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt and take them back to Canaan so they could possess the land He had promised Abraham. Moses, who was employed [...]
The people known as Hebrews, or Jews should not exist. The fact that they do defies human reasoning. Their early history and culture is captured and codified in what Christian’s call the Old Testament of the Bible. The origins of these people go back some 4,000 years and their experience spans every sort of natural, [...]
Let’s say I have been living in a remote part of the earth for many years and have not kept up with technology. I return to this country and buy a house. In my kitchen, there is a machine I do not understand. It has a knob on the front and a latch that secures [...]
Any religion or theology that is not based on authenticated revelation is false. Without revelation, humanity must create theology and religion based on observations of the natural world. Such religions tend to permit human beings to continue doing what they want to do. These religions always present a system of human works that can eventually [...]
Human opinions are largely the result of thinking and reasoning. It is a natural process performed by a biological brain trapped in a time-driven perspective. When we think, we take stock of certain facts, relate them, and reach conclusions about the past, present and future. Fear, however, throws a monkey-wrench into this otherwise rational process.
The natural universe exists in time. However, it eternity exists it is timeless. One analogy I heard that tries to describe eternity involved imagining a huge diamond the size of the earth. Every billion years a hummingbird appears, flies to the diamond and lightly brushes one beat of its wing against it. When the hummingbird’s wing [...]
