Yesterday, inspired by my recent discussions with a former believer turned atheist, I wrote a piece called “When it is easier not to believe“, recognising that we all face times of doubt. I think I omitted a seventh and important situation when a believer may be tempted to […]
Jesus teaches us that the pure in heart are blessed because only they will see God (Matt 5:8). When we are gifted with spiritual sight…to believe in God, to be aware of His presence, to desire His fellowship…we are blessed. But there are times when we do not […]
I’ve written a few pieces on Hell recently, as I’ve tried to understand and explain why a loving God would create such a place so contrary to His character. As I’ve written these posts, and gained understanding by God’s Spirit, I have been amused. God has a marvelous […]
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom 5:8). Do you think that God loves you more than He did when you were still in your sins? Do you think that He loves you more than those […]
Carrying on from yesterday’s musings on unconditional love, I got a few opinions from other believers. One was very interesting. He also believes that God’s love is unconditional, but that the benefits of the love are received on conditions…sort of like a man who loves a woman and […]
Uh, hold up. Stop for a minute. Whaaaaat? “Yep! If you really think I’m in danger of burning eternally, why aren’t you trying harder to convince me?” said the Atheist. “There should be a line across the street from my house!” I found it very weird, when I […]
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables” (2 Tim 4:3-4). The Bible talks […]
I was asked this question by R.E, who I suppose is an Atheist, after he read my post “We Know Everything, And There Is No God”. This line of questioning my relationship with God actually began with: “This relationship you talk of, I assume means you have become […]
The gospel of Christ is such a mystery to onlookers. They can hardly understand why an all-powerful being, such as God, would subject Himself to such an humiliation as to be killed on a Cross. How He could say that He came to save the world, but wasn’t […]
“We know everything, and there is no God,” said the Atheist. Mankind have been learning about themselves and their environments since the beginning of their recognition of their existence, whenever that beginning was. We know that without the consciousness that we are alive, and the ability to think, […]
This post is in response to Nancy Drew, who wrote a response to the original post: 3 Strange But True Reasons Why God Doesn’t Feed All The Starving Children by Peter Guirguis. I can understand where Nancy is coming from, as I also kind of felt let down by […]
You have a problem. You have an addiction. The thing you crave so much has blinded you to what you need. You crave to know. You feed on much knowledge, but are never content, because the more you know, the less you know. This drug that gives you […]
You’re welcome to another thought-provoking episode of The Spotlight!!! I hope you enjoyed last week’s topic, which was about co-habitation before marriage, the pros and cons, and why we ought to submit to the wisdom of God. The topic today is really HOT!!! But there’s no avoiding it, […]
I’d like to offer up an answer to this question posed by an ‘irreligious’ person, whose blog I recently found. You may read the original post HERE. Hi, dear friend, you seem to have brushed the surface, but I wish you’d gone deeper. I think you’re quite confused, […]
The time had come for the ship to set sail for the Kingdom of Heaven. Two theologians who had very opposing views about almost everything concerning Christianity, and who loved to argue endlessly, met themselves at the dock. “Hey old friend, glad to see you didn’t miss the […]
