This morning I am thinking about the book of Revelation and how many people I encounter have interpreted its prophecies. From the outset let me be clear, I disagree with this interpretation of the Bible, my thought is simply to express beliefs of others and then ask one simple question about how this interpretation should...

Being Honest
Scripture: Ephesians 4:25-32 25 So then, putting away falsehood, let each of you speak the truth with your neighbor, for we are members of one another. 26 Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and do not make room for the devil. 28 Those who steal must give up...

David a Myth? Does it Matter?
What do you mean the Bible is not a myth? Now, of course the whole Bible is not a myth but the Bible does contain myth and simply because we find archeological evidence confirming historical elements of the Bible does not change the fact the Bible contains myth.

My 2024 Books in Review
Each year I start with two distinct goals for my reading list, one is a number of books to read and the second a group of books I will prioritize reading. I set a goal that is attainable but not easily, and since I am a competitive person it pushes me to continue to read... Continue Reading →

Scripture: Matthew 7:1-6 “Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. 2 For the judgment you give will be the judgment you get, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. 3 Why do you see the speck in your neighbor’s eye but do not notice the log in your own eye?... Continue Reading →
A Good God Goes to War: Background
I do not often talk about my favorite media (outside of books) but my wife and I enjoy watching the quirky British show Doctor Who. If you are not familiar with the program (and found this subject interesting) the show revolves a near immortal character known as the Doctor who travels through time and space,... Continue Reading →
