  • Deconstructing Faith

    27:52|
    Do you own your faith? Or, did someone give it to you? Are you borrowing it from your parents or grandparents? There are lots of people today who are asking themselves hard questions about their faith and maybe they should. Here are some thoughts...
  • Is Your God Too Small

    23:24|
    Theology is a multi-colored cat to be sure. Many don't believe there is a God at all. While others believe there is a God but don't believe He really has anything to do with them or this world, or even cares. So, with so many versions of God out there, who's got the real God? Here are some thoughts...
  • The Theology Trap

    21:07|
    This is going to sound odd since I have a degree in theology, but I think theology can be a complete hinderance to a believer's spiritual growth. Systematic Theology is quite a bit about putting God under a microscope and it seems as though many theologians are trying to MAKE God fit their mold. Here are some observations...
  • The Secrets of God

    20:06|
    I try to glean good stuff from YouTube for educational purposes. However, I often run into someone who is advertising they know "The Secrets of God" or "A Secret of God". Is this click-bait? You bet. Now I don't begrudge influencers for trying to gain for following. However, when they use this tactic, I get more than a little disturbed. Here are some thoughts...
  • Christians and Jews

    35:15|
    There are many who call themselves Christians who chose to willfully malign and push evil against Jews in general. In fact, Anti-Semitism is at an all-time high because of people who believe they have a grip on Israel and the Jewish people in general. In my experience, most non-Jewish people I've met won't know a Torah scroll if it hit them in the head. And yet, they'd like to pass judgement on something they know little about. Here are some thoughts...
  • End of Days, Or Just New Ways?

    33:15|
    The Dark Ages have alot in common with the world we live in today and I don't believe that is an accident. Many people want to tell themselves and Jesus is returning right away. However, Paul believed that too and look how long ago that was. To be sure, I believe in the return of Jesus the Messiah and his physical reign on this earth. But Jesus said himself that no one knows when he is returning, not even him. It's up to The Father. So, what if this isn't the end but just a time of really bad mojo all over the world? Here are some thoughts...
  • Translation Station

    19:34|
    Translations seem to be breeding themselves at an alarming rate. Publishers are producing translations of the Bible for any reason at all. But, are they necessary? Here are some thoughts...
  • Motivation or Revelation?

    17:38|
    How do you tell if your getting a real sermon or just another motivational speech? Many minister evidently don't know the difference anymore. Here are some thoughts...
