    In today’s message we look at Jesus’ parable about a man who was released from a great debt, just to go and force one of his own debtors pay him. In this parable, Jesus teaches us to forgive others whatever their debt, as many times as necessary, for God has forgiven us our incredible debt.…

  • Lectio Deficillior

    In the world of Bible translation we find tons and tons of different manuscripts of the Bible to sort through, each with their own differences and similarities from the Scribes who copied them. Some of the differences might be human errors, like when you’re trying to copy a paper you have in front of you…

  • When the Sky Goes Dark

    There’s actually a great analogy within science as to why we should consider taking the supernatural world of the Bible more seriously.

Eventually, distant galaxies will have moved so far away from…

  • The Return of the Giants

    While the Nephilim don’t get mentioned again until Numbers 13, the Bible in its entirety show us that there are clans of giants mentioned by other names as early as Genesis 14—just a few chapters after their origin story in Genesis 6. Seeing this requires us to pay close attention to sections of the Bible…

  • The Story Behind “Alien Theology”

Greg Boyd, a theologian and pastor, proposes the idea. when God gives someone divine power, he genuinely gives it to them. To one degree or another, he places his divine power under the control of their own power.…

  • R&R Review

    Thanks to Scott Smith for his review on my audiobook version of The Rush and the Rest! The Rush and the Rest is a powerful book that seems to span a lifetime of not only spiritual experience but in-depth research as well.

  • Jesus Revealed

    The transfiguration is a strange story that has left many confused as they read it. But things start to make a little more sense once we understand “shininess” from a Scriptural and ancient Jewish understanding. Also, we expect to see that shininess on Jesus once we start recognizing his presence in the Old Testament. Check…
