Thin Ice

I have prayed and deliberated in my mind for some time now on what is the best manner in which to proceed for topics that will follow on this blog. I continue to write about two cities that are tangled together and about two types of truth proceeding from them that are tangled together. WeContinue reading “Thin Ice”

A Tribute, and A Reformed Taboo.

This is a post where I’m deviating from previous topics a bit and dedicating this to a friend of mine. He and I bonded a lot over the topic at hand and discussions that don’t normally happen in Reformed Churches. He had wanted to help me write about this, and now that he can’t anymore,Continue reading “A Tribute, and A Reformed Taboo.”

Two Directions

I’m switching now to a dual focus on the two greatest commandments. I’m going to do it in a way I’ve never seen anyone write or teach on. Since everyone in my initial audience will know pretty well what it means to love our neighbors within the Church, I want to go a harder direction.Continue reading “Two Directions”

Knowing God Part 5- Prayer

A series about knowing God would be incomplete without touching on this subject. It is one those of us who have been Christians for a long time know about. It can also be a little convicting at the outset for those of us who know that prayer time is a struggle for us and knowContinue reading “Knowing God Part 5- Prayer”

Knowing God Part 4. How Can I Know That I’m Saved?

Jn 17:17 This is Eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent This title was chosen partly as a response to a question that arose from members at my Church. I also word it this way because I know there are people out there wondering thisContinue reading “Knowing God Part 4. How Can I Know That I’m Saved?”

Knowing God, Part 3, the Love of God

If the reader has tracked with me so far, you know some of the ways in which I started this series of posts. Regarding the Justice of God in the last post, some may wonder how God’s justice factors into us knowing him better. The primary way in which it does so, which all hisContinue reading “Knowing God, Part 3, the Love of God”

Knowing God Part 2- The Justice of God

“Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” JN 17:3 So far in this series we’ve covered the names of God, and the ancient Jewish context in which they were given to us. This post is going to be about an attribute ofContinue reading “Knowing God Part 2- The Justice of God”

Knowing God Part 1

“This is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ” Jn 17:3 Pretty quickly after I wrote the last post, I felt the Spirit pushing me to go into this topic next. One post cannot do the entirety of this subject justice. Extensive books have been written about this, andContinue reading “Knowing God Part 1”

Which Version of Christianity or Denomination is The Right One?

This blog has focused recently on false examples of Christianity, and I will write more on that topic. Right now I feel led to dig into a question with the reader. What version of Christianity is the right one? I’ve seen athiests word this rather hopelessly that if you join a Church, you have aContinue reading “Which Version of Christianity or Denomination is The Right One?”

Why are Jehovah’s Witnesses Not Christians?

This is one topic many of my first readers will not have a problem agreeing with. This article is more for the newer Christian and is not likely to become a widespread article, it may still strengthen the mature Christian though. I’m not normally in the business of telling you that certain sectors of theContinue reading “Why are Jehovah’s Witnesses Not Christians?”
