Quick…without looking…do you know what the last word in the Bible is? I’m sure you probably knew it, but I thought it would be an interesting thing to talk about. If you’re a Christian, maybe you also know that sometimes Jesus is called “The Amen”. That’s pretty cool because “amen” is usually defined to mean “so be it” or “it is so”. Or to … Read the rest…
Here’s a worldview definition. See if it’s how you’d describe it. That’s a fair worldview definition. But it makes it seem like a worldview happens to you by your circumstances or surrounding. I prefer to believe you shape your worldview. It doesn’t shape you. What I mean by that is…you choose to believe facts and figures or fantasy. Choose is the operative word. No … Read the rest…

In fact, you can skip all those things … Read the rest…
I’ve known some people who’ve gone from faith to faith as though they were trying out another car manufacturer or different pair of jeans. Real faith is unshakeable and everlasting. And it’s found in only one place. The one, true, living, loving God of the universe. And He has a triune nature. In other words, He is distinctly three persons in one being. God … Read the rest…
The earth is full of goodness. Before you read any further I have to clear up a distinction. I said “the earth is full of goodness”. I didn’t say the world is full of goodness.
