God’s wisdom. God has greater wisdom than us, when he commands we should follow even if it goes against what we feel would be wise. Being a Christian is a vulnerable position. It is not a “bed of roses.” There may be persecution and hardship. Can we expect less if Christ and the Apostles went […]
Double Function: DNA Code and Duons
Cells are the “building block of life”, they form organisms. Inside, DNA resides, storing the instructions that tell how to build proteins. Protein are made up of something called called amino acids. The instructions in the DNA are called genes. However, the DNA has other functions as well, it regulates some of the cell’s activities. DNA code […]
Paint On The Wall
Paint on the wall. Yes, it does have significance to a house, but structurally what does it do? Do we as Christians sometimes focus on the “paint” instead of structurally issues? Do we quarrel over silly issues that have no long term ramifications and just cause division? Yes, we can say they are important , but are […]
Did Jesus Come Today?
What if Jesus came to your church today? Matthew 25:31-46 tells us when we do things for others, we are doing them for Christ. In that spirit, what if a stranger came to your Church, would you treat him like Jesus? What if she comes with less expensive clothes than yourself? What if his speech […]

Things I Have Learned From Dr. Steven Meyer
Throughout the years I have listened and have learned from Dr. Steven Meyer. I agree with most concepts he presents, but do take exception to others. However, this post is not about this arguments, rather his methods and tactics in presenting and talking to those who oppose his views. I am impressed by how he […]
Knowledge Puffeth Up?
I have heard said that “knowledge puffeth up, so we should not study the Bible,” it causes pride and we should not have pride. The Bible really does say that “knowledge puffeth up”. However, this reasoning transgresses the first principle of exegesis by taking a teaching out of context. Also it is self refuting. The […]
When John Came to Town
Bercot: …modern Christians think that if John were to walk into any conservative church today, he would feel right at home. He would find that twenty-first century western Christians think and reason just like first-century Christians living in the Mediterranean world. He would find that today’s western Christians worship in the same manner as he […]
Descriptions vs. Prescriptions
In a previous post I talk about some very important techniques when one is trying to exegesis Scripture. One of the most important tools at our disposal is something that is often overlooked. It is so important I want it to have its own post. It is the distinction between prescription and description. Description, means […]
Post Reverberations From Ham vs. Nye
I once talked to one who had a graduate degree in geology. He told me that one can’t be a scientist without believing in evolution. While I already posted some of my thoughts concerning Ham’s and Nye’s debate, I want to take up this specific issue. After listening to Nye and many others in the […]
