Reading Time: 5 minutes Presley from Douala, Cameroon asked me via email this great question; “How can one worship God with all his heart and really know that he has done so?” First let’s put Presley’s question in context with the Bible: Matthew 22:34-40 A Pharisee who was an expert in the law, tested Jesus with this question: “Teacher, […]
Reading Time: 8 minutes @AsmodeusDemon in Twitter tweeted to me concerning my article; “Did Jesus die for our Sins or did He just Die?” the following: “He didn’t do either given he knew he’d be resurrected. And also because he simply never existed.” Most likely is that @AsmodeusDemon didn’t even read the article I wrote which he/she replied. If […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Romans 1:20-22 shows us examples of proof of God’s existence: For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks […]

Reading Time: 3 minutes I cannot fathom that God is non-existent due to the abundance of evidence supporting His existence i.e., laws of logic, physics, gravity, the universe, all life, etc. AND above all, the personal relationship I have with Him.

Reading Time: 5 minutes “Cursed are those who give the name of good to evil, and of evil to what is good: who make light dark, and dark light: who make bitter sweet, and sweet bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20) Throughout my lifetime (+50 years) each year more people more often have been redefining definitions of institutions which for all millennia […]

Reading Time: 10 minutes @GreedyIan from Twitter asked; “hey rather than dying for our sins, maybe Jesus died simply because he was nailed to a big wooden cross?” Actually @GreedyIan has asked a very good question and I’m glad that he asked it.
