Growth Points: Engage in the Word
I understand that many books have been written on this topic. Honestly, I could probably write a 10,000-word post about this subject. Instead, let’s look at just a few of the most important truths about reading Scripture. I’ve read the Bible – or had the Bible read to me -… (Keep Reading)

To Be Continued: The Bible and Sophism
The Bible didn’t mean it like that… Picture this situation: you’re debating a moral issue found in the Bible, and the other person says, “Well, the Bible didn’t really mean it that way.” Or maybe you’ve heard something in the region of, “The Bible is old, and humanity has changed,… (Keep Reading)

To Be Continued: Suffering
But why, God? In some respects, this post will carry on with what I said last week. However, there’s a lot more to it than that. Why does God allow us to suffer and experience trials? What can we learn from the Bible’s most recognizable book on suffering? And how… (Keep Reading)

The Fallacy Sessions: Prayer Does Nothing
Why Pray? Assuming you’re a Christian (and if you’re not, please let me know – I’d love to talk with you about it!), you’ve probably heard that prayer is important. Yet there are so many other things in our lives, and sitting down in stillness and silence is tough. So… (Keep Reading)

The Fallacy Sessions: Evil Will Win
“Hope is not a strategy.” As Christians, what assurance do we have that Jesus will win? Because right now, it sure seems like evil is on top. And we can’t rely on a Mission Impossible type of rescue to overcome it. Let me assure you, there is hope. There’s a… (Keep Reading)

The Fallacy Sessions: Failure Crushes Dreams
Ever failed at something? If not, that’s impressive. At one time or another, all of us will fail. It may be a small failure, or it could be a massive one. In preparation for that day, there are a couple of things you should know. Failure doesn’t have to be… (Keep Reading)

The Fallacy Sessions: It’s An Obsession
What do you obsess over? Whether you like it or not, we all have those things we’re overly passionate about. For me, it’s Jesus, writing, sports, and making videos, among other things. How about you? I’ve heard my fair share of opinions about obsession. Some people are wholeheartedly for it,… (Keep Reading)

The Fallacy Sessions: I Don’t Need Others
Does going solo lead to success? And no, I’m not talking about Han Solo from Star Wars – although he’s a great example of why going solo doesn’t work. Partly due to Covid, the sheer amount of people who have adopted the going solo belief is staggering. I’m not just… (Keep Reading)

The Fallacy Sessions: Life’s About Me
“It’s my life. It’s now or never.” Or so the Bon Jovi song goes. Last year I wrote a post titled Looking Out For #1. However, I realized there was a lot I didn’t cover in that post. So, with a year of additional experience, I feel it’s incredibly important… (Keep Reading)

The Fallacy Sessions: Humanism Works
“We can do it on our own.” This reasoning dates back to the beginning of time. As fallen beings, humans have always aspired to be better than everyone else, including God. Today, some call this belief humanism – the hope that humanity can save our world. But this raises the… (Keep Reading)

The Fallacy Sessions: Money Is Everything
Ever heard someone say, “I just need money”? I have. Now I won’t deny that money is an essential part of life. Paying for the things you need (and buying the stuff you want) is great. But I think many of us have adopted the wrong mindset. Some people believe… (Keep Reading)

The Fallacy Sessions: What You Value
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” When Jesus spoke this phrase as part of His famous Sermon on the Mount (found in Matthew 6:21, NIV), He alone fully realized its significance. In essence, Jesus said, “The things you treasure – or in other words, value… (Keep Reading)
