He leans over a large wooden stand holding an open scroll that reads "THE LAW," with one hand resting on the stand and the other tucked under his chin in deep, prayerful thought.

Delight is in the law of the LORD – Psalm 1

My Journey Through Psalms, My Faith Journeys 🚶

Psalm 1 challenged me to rethink what it means to delight in God’s law. Am I meditating on Scripture while missing the world God calls me to engage? This reflection explores that tension and what Jesus’ prayer in John 17 reveals about living faithfully in the world.

Before Jesus died on Good Friday, many tried to kill Him — and every attempt failed. This piece walks through the passages in order, letting Scripture reveal how the timing of His death was never in human hands but held by God’s long‑promised plan. Read slowly, let the story build, and notice what becomes clear only when you see it all together.

A new series on WhichGodCanSave… – when government gets into religion

Bible's Lens on Real Life - Individual Articles, Bible’s Lens on Real Life 🔍

I’ve published a new piece on Which God Can Save? about the tension between America’s constitutional commitments on religion and the recent reports of military leaders framing the conflict with Iran as part of “God’s plan.” It’s the starting point for a series that will look more closely at how government power and religious belief get tangled—and why that matters for faith itself.

What is the book of Revelation in the Bible?

How Revelation Really Begins — and Why It Matters 💌

Revelation: A book of hope through relationship

What is the book of Revelation in the Bible? Sounds like a weird question. Everyone knows what it is, don’t they? But how many of you have read and really figured out the opening sections: the Prologue and the Greeting? For that matter, how many realize there’s no “s” on the end of Revelation? It’s one revelation, not a whole bunch of them.

The Book of Revelation, often misunderstood, is an unveiling of divine truths rather than a mere foretelling of apocalyptic events. It opens with a prologue and greeting that emphasize the importance of truly reading and understanding its contents, as well as clarifying common misconceptions.

A Modern-day Functional Equivalent of the Early Church Apostle?

Testing Apostles, Divine Knowledge Ephesus, Revelation: A book of hope through relationship

This article explores how early‑church apostles carried unique authority—and why that role no longer exists today. Yet every believer still carries real spiritual influence. Through the Great Commission, the warnings in James, and Jesus’ call to be salt and light, we discover how modern Christians function as teachers in everyday life, even without the title “apostle.”
