  • Did God Know Adam Would Fall? Why Would He Let That Happen?

    Did God Know Adam Would Fall? Why Would He Let That Happen?

    Knowledge itself is a pretty interesting topic. Sometimes I wonder if it’s even possible to know anything at all. I’m part of a Facebook group in which people debate issues related to God’s existence, creation ex theos, and Darwinian evolution. In truth, there’s not much debating actually going on–just people posting pictures that don’t actually…

  • The Law Given for Our Good- Exodus 20:22-26

    The Law Given for Our Good- Exodus 20:22-26

    God acknowledges that the people were able to see His manifestations and know that God is the one giving the commands. Moses is not manipulating them. God repeats His command for the people not to make idols and worship them. He even gives some interesting instruction concerning an altar for sacrifices. It is not to…

    The Insufficiency of the Law- Exodus 20:18-21

    All the people perceive the signs of God, see the manifestation of God, from the bottom of the mountain—including the trumpet sounds. They are afraid.

    The Christian Hope

    Why did Jesus have to come and die on a cross? Could God simply have created a world with no sin? Could He not have gotten people into heaven without having to die? It’s His wrath, could He not withhold it if He wanted to? Why worship Jesus? Why celebrate Him? I’m so glad you…

    Yes, God Instructed Saul to Kill Infants and Children…

    Saul has been spiraling out of control. His sin has been compounding. We have noticed the pattern of degeneration in his life. In the last passage, we were reminded that God chose Saul to deliver Israel from the Philistines and that, through Saul’s war campaign, God was inflicting punishment on the Canaanite nations because their…

    Why Did God Make Me This Way?

    Have you ever wondered why God created you in the condition that He did? Have you ever wondered why God gave you the personality type that He did, why you are not as academic as you’d like to be, why you have the body type that you do, why you are not as athletic as…
