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.
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. [...]
During my agnostic years I objected to the idea that unless I believed a certain thing, God, without hesitation, would reject me and blow me straight to hell where I would twist and burn for eternity. My attitude about a God who would do something like that was very negative to say the least. I [...]
During most of my young life I believed I wasn’t afraid of anything. When I finally identified with my fear it happened in a very simple way. A man who had faced fear, told me how it felt. He described fear as a sense of impending doom, a sense that something bad was about to [...]
People divorce when they become unhappy in their marriages and are unwilling or unable to work through their difficulties and resolve them. I don’t want to be accused of being a hypocrite on this subject, so I acknowledge that I have been divorced too. I can speak on the subject with experience. I can also [...]
There are seven specific sins of self that are at the root of all that God wants us to crucify in our lives. The complete removal of these self-sins is the objective work of the Holy Spirit in the life of every believer. It is the way God goes about conforming us to the image [...]
Is there jealousy in your life? Is there jealousy in your church? Is there jealousy in your home? If so, this is evidence of carnality. Jealousy is driven by a suspicion or a fear that others may be more loved, respected or accepted. Jealousy erupts into disagreement, argument and sometimes violent behavior. There is no [...]
Our sin nature actually shapes the development of our Body of Truth. As we add things we believe to our Body of Truth, the self-seeking heart colors the way we interpret the events of our lives and the things we believe to be true. So, in the final analysis, the things we do are influenced [...]
Through Jesus Christ and His written word, God has revealed that he is a holy, righteous, just, loving God. But, He has also revealed that human beings are separated from Him by their sin and rebellion and have been judged for it. Unregenerate human beings exist in a condition of spiritual death. However, God has [...]
What would happen to some poor European docking his ship on our shores for the first time and having to confront an entrenched culture that had already determined who he was supposed to be and what he was supposed to be doing? The preconceived notions and speculations would probably bear little resemblance to the reality [...]

It is the combination of belief and thought that produces the way we feel and this is where the human condition becomes quite perilous. Years ago, before I learned the things I now write and teach on this subject, I could think my way into states of utter panic, based on very little that was [...]
A young person is introduced to a “recreational drug” in high school. He ingests the drug, gets a good feeling and nothing bad happens. He comes to believe after several recreational use sessions that the drug is not harmful and he can control it. Then, he is introduced to harder drugs, such as crack cocaine [...]
In our formative years we build what I call our Body of Truth (everything we believe) solely through our experience. As we grow and mature, reading and listening can become an agent for acquiring new truth, but even as adults we have a hard time allowing our experiential truth to be rooted out or displaced by [...]
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 upsets the modern world that pursues relative truth and everchanging standards of morality.
