The Cross and the Finished Work: Why Gethsemane Cannot Stand Alone
There is no rivalry between Gethsemane and Golgotha in the heart of God. There is sequence, intensification, and completion. In the garden the second Adam said yes. On the tree He bore the thorns, the curse, the darkness, the thirst, the forsaken cry, and the last breath.
Observation First, Theory Second: The Difference Between a Hypothesis and a Theory
When a hypothesis is promoted as a theory, and then as fact, students stop asking whether the key events were ever seen. They are told the debate is over. Yet the debate is not over the observations. It is over what those observations are allowed to mean.
Living Faith: Paul, James, and the One Gospel of Grace
Hold both, and you hold the gospel as the apostles preached it and as the Restoration restored it. Let go of either, and you are left with a corpse or a treadmill.
Bearing the Name: What “Taking the Lord’s Name in Vain” Really Means
The world does not need more people who can pronounce sacred words. It needs a people who make the sacred words believable. That is what Sinai asked. That is what the prophets demanded. That is what the Son fulfilled. And that is what those who bear His name are still invited to become.
The Ten Commandments Are Still Relevant Today
The Ten Commandments are still relevant today because the God who spoke them is the same yesterday, today, and forever, Creator and Redeemer in one. The Maker has the right to command.
Creeds and the Gospel
The Lord named the creedal system in the Sacred Grove because a boy had asked, in good faith, which of the sects was right. The answer still stands.
Rivers of Fire and the Fountains of the Deep
Ancient writings describe the earth’s interior with an accuracy we are only now confirming. A close study of the Qumran fragments, Joseph Smith’s restored Enoch text, and the rocks themselves shows that the same earth was approached from different elevations. The plumbing, the earth’s own cry, and the covenant that answers that cry are not three religions. They are three heights on one mountain.
The Image That Speaks
Man is not ruled by ancestral instincts. He is addressed by the living God. That address is the most observable fact of human history. It is written on every conscience, echoed in every culture, and fulfilled in Jesus Christ, “who is the image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15).
Human Nature, Ancestral Instincts, and the Image of God
Man is not ruled by ancestral instincts. He is addressed by the living God. That address is the most observable fact of human history. It is written on every conscience, echoed in every culture, and fulfilled in Jesus Christ, “who is the image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15).
Wisdom, Women, and Vapor
These texts do not offer a technique for controlling outcomes. They offer a way of walking. Begin with reverence for the LORD. Receive His wisdom as a gift. Love her the way one loves what keeps you alive.
THE FEMININE IN PROVERBS: How Woman Is Used, and What It Meant in Ancient Israel
The feminine in these chapters is how Proverbs makes wisdom personal. She preaches, she is loved, she is refused at deadly cost, she is taught by mothers, and she is finally seen in a woman whose strength and fear of the LORD belong in the public gate.
Psalm 102: The Afflicted One Who Laid the Foundations of the Earth
The official heading printed over Psalm 102 already tells the reader what the psalm is about: “The psalmist offers a prayer of the afflicted. Zion will be built up when the Lord appears in His glory. Though the heaven and earth perish, the Lord who created them will endure forever.”
Reproach Hath Broken My Heart
If you feel you are in mire with no standing, the point of Psalm 69 is not that you should be embarrassed by that feeling. The point is that Christ has already been there. If you are still carrying a reproach He already absorbed, you may lay it down.
Utah’s Window into the Global Flood
The rocks of Utah, like the rocks of the Grand Canyon and so many other places we have visited, keep pointing us back to that hope. Keep studying the evidence. It all testifies of Him.
The Flawed Council of Nicaea
The striking lack of biblical foundation for its key formulations only underscores how thoroughly the outcome rested on human reasoning, imported philosophy, political necessity, and institutional power rather than on the plain teaching of scripture.
The Bible's Harmony: Addressing Proposed Inconsistencies with Faithful Eyes
Faithful scholarship, drawing on careful exegesis, knowledge of ancient Near Eastern storytelling practices, and a high view of Scripture, has repeatedly shown that these difficulties are not fatal flaws. They are invitations to dig deeper.
The Younger Dryas: Rapid Oscillations in Earth’s Climate Recovery After the Flood
The Younger Dryas is simply one of the prominent climate oscillations that occurred while the earth was recovering from those Flood conditions.
The RNA-First Theory: Why It Cannot Work and Why God’s Design Still Stands
The failure of the RNA world hypothesis does not leave us without an answer. It leaves us with the answer the Bible has always given: life began by the word of the living God. The same Creator who formed the first cells continues to hold all things together, and in Christ we find both the origin of life and the hope of new life
The Nations in the Hand of God: How the Civilizations of the Ancient World Shaped the Path of Israel
From the first page of Genesis to the closing vision of Revelation, the Bible presents history as the purposeful work of the living God. He creates, He judges, He scatters, He gathers, and He directs the rise and fall of every nation so that His redemptive plan moves steadily forward.
Ancient Persia, Modern Iran, and the Hope of Israel’s Restoration
We love opening the Scriptures and watching the same God who formed the earth in six days and preserved Noah through the global Flood continue to move through the pages of history. Few chapters of that history are more striking than the rise of ancient Persia.
