understanding the Bible
God is not a physical being, so how do we know what he is like? Is there an image that we can look at to see him? Yes, we find the true image of God in his Son Jesus Christ.
The gospel of Luke tells the account of an immoral woman's devotion to Jesus and how she shows her love to him by anointing his feet with perfume. In the face of criticism from a religious Pharisee, Jesus used the event to teach a lesson on faith, love, and forgiveness.
Jesus’ parable of the talents tells the story of a rich man who entrusts his servants with large amounts of money to invest while he goes on a journey. This parable teaches us about investing in God's kingdom and answers the question: Is it really worth sacrificing our time, energy, and resources to know God and to serve him?
One of the greatest disputes in the Church today is how Christians should relate to the Mosaic laws. Some maintain that none of the Mosaic laws apply to us anymore because we are under the New Covenant. Others say they all apply since the Old Testament is God’s eternal Word and doesn't change. Should Christians obey the Law of Moses? Or, are there some that apply to us and others that don’t?
The world needs to know the truth of the gospel, that the Messiah—Jesus the Savior, the Son of God—has come. And they need to know who God is, what he is like, and what he has done to prove his love for us. But how can they know? By true Christian witness—by word and deed.
God’s creation is awe inspiring and wondrous. He made the universe with incredible power and precision. But how does he rule the universe? By what means does he sustain the physical world he created? This post will show that God rules the universe by immutable laws, which are an extension of his mind and power.
Some people claim that since we can't see God, finding him is impossible, so we shouldn't waste our time seeking him. For them, God is just an interesting discussion topic. But many throughout history have claimed to have sought God and found him. All throughout Scripture God tells us to seek him. Why would God invite us to seek him if it's impossible to find him?
“What is truth?” Pontius Pilate's infamous question to Jesus during his trial seems sarcastic, maybe even cynical. Was he asking to find ultimate truth? No, probably not. But it's a legitimate question—what is truth? Is it real, or just an illusory concept? Are there really absolutes as opposed to just ideas? And what is Christ's kingdom of truth?
