How Science Works

Science is such a beautiful thing.  It has been the mode of discovering so many deep and mysterious truths about existence.  It has given us so much understanding about how the world works and functions.  It has been used to bring about inventions, medicine, advancements, and just general truths about the physical world.  The success […]

Morality Without Transcendence

Morality is so instrumental and pervasive in humanity, it’s possibly one of the only things that holds us all together.  There are differing opinions about what’s right and what’s wrong, a spectrum of ideas on what’s good and what’s bad.  And even when there’s agreeance on those things, coming to a consensus on the correct […]

God and His People

I want to propose that God treats “His people” different than He treats other people.  Before I get into it, I need to set the scene and do a little work to show where I’m coming from.  I think one of the most common mistakes people make with God is incorrectly assigning Him obligatory acts.  […]

Salvation

Are you saved?  Have you ever had anyone ask you that question?  Outside the Christian community, I think this concept of being “saved” sometimes can be difficult to understand what it really means.  Even within the Christian community I think this term and concept is misunderstood.  Like most things in life, there are multiple ways […]

How do you see sin?

The doctrine of sin seems like it should be straightforward and easily understood.  However, the more you begin to look and try to pin down exactly what sin is, why exactly something is a sin at all, it becomes a little tricky and we see the elusiveness of sin.  It becomes even more important to […]

Relativism and its Regrets

I will start off by admitting to my biases.  As a Christian, I have a biased nature to think that there is something as objective truth, meaning there are ideas and concepts and beliefs and moral systems and philosophic systems that are just wrong and incorrect, regardless of whether everyone believes them or doesn’t believe […]

God is Good

In philosophy, there’s an age-old question about the nature of good.  Namely, what is good, and by what standard do we use to judge what good is?  Now, I’m not planning on going into the arguments for what people have said about this question, and how they have gotten there.  I more so just want […]

Seek and You Shall Find

As a Christian, there are lots of things I struggle with to make sense of on my journey of following Christ.  One thing that has pestered me throughout my years is how someone becomes a Christian.  Now there is a lot to consider on this topic and I certainly am not qualified to answer any […]

Understanding the Law

The law God has revealed to us can be mysterious in many ways.  It can be difficult to accept, to uphold, to understand, to follow, to realize it’s purpose.  It commonly lacks proper explanation in how it pertains to the bible, God, people, Jesus, and Christianity.  Before we can understand the depth and breadth the […]
