The proverbial problem of evil is that evil is not always the problem. Sometimes the problem is not even a problem, but is rather the solution. Sometimes the problem is not evil, but rather is godly in origin and purpose (Deut.8:2,16). Deuteronomy 8:2,16 NASB (2) “You shall remember all the way which the LORD your […]

There is a difference between believing in God, and believing God (Numbers 20:12)

Modern Man is too sophisticated and liberated to believe in a myth called Satan. Freud set free our subconscious and Darwin ridiculed our religion.

“In the beginning, God….” (Genesis 1:1). Such a simple beginning to a complex chapter, book, covenant and theology. Such a simple beginning to a life lived simply for God. Seeing God, accepting and understanding He is the power behind all that follows those four little words, and all that is, takes a simple faith based […]

Sometimes I am amazed at how long it takes me to see what is there.
