ARGUMENT FOR DIVINE DESIGN The Complexity of Life One of the primary arguments for intelligent design is the sheer complexity of biological systems, even at their most basic level. A single living cell — often called the fundamental unit of life — contains a vast network of molecular machines, genetic codes, and chemical reactions allContinue reading “Divine Design Study”

That Which Prevails Over Death
13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, saying, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” 15 He *said to them, “But whoContinue reading “That Which Prevails Over Death”
Why You Do What You Do
One of my favorite questions for times of small talk is “Why do you do what you do instead of doing something else?” Or sometimes a variation: “Why do you love what you do?” I ask this when I’m in the barber’s chair, on the x-ray table, or trying to articulate words as the dentistContinue reading “Why You Do What You Do”

It emphasizes the power of faith to transcend cultural and existential fears, inviting readers to deeper trust and reliance on Jesus’ sovereignty.

What we canContinue reading “Resurrection Doesn’t Serve the Algorithm”
Facing Our Own Brokenness
Reading: Acts 13:26-34 Reflection: This Sunday our scripture calls us into an even deeper commitment to follow Jesus. What the Old Testament called blessings and curses – for either obeying or disobeying God – are better understood in terms of consequences in the light of Jesus’ message. Sometimes we may be tempted to view God’sContinue reading “Facing Our Own Brokenness”
Life in a Time of Death
Reading: Judges 3:7-11 Reflection: The Book of Judges can be tough to read. There is a lot of violence, and even the judges are often a confusing mix of good and bad. If we take today’s reading literally, then God caused God’s people to be conquered by an enemy nation, and then raised up aContinue reading “Life in a Time of Death”
Praying the Beatitudes
The Beatitudes are the radical new order of blessedness initiated by the new covenant signed in the blood of Jesus. They are not the Scriptural equivalent of your mama’s admonition to “be sweet.” They outline the new way of the kingdom that Jesus said we should seek above all else (Matthew 6:33). It is aContinue reading “Praying the Beatitudes”
