Christian Worldview In Less Than 300 Words

This is my worldview in a nutshell. God created the universe and all that is in it. He created mankind in His very own image, which gave all of us intrinsic value. He did this out of the super abundance of His love; not because He needed to or needed any of us, but so […]

Why pray?

Jerry asks this question. “If God knows and sees all, why do we need to pray?  Prayer really seems like a man-made construct to me.” Hi Jerry, I asked this same question at one time. Even as a believer, I found it confusing that an omniscient God would need me to pray or what would […]

Never heard of Christ?

Question: If you have to accept Jesus to be saved and to go to heaven, what about people in some remote part of the world who have never heard of Jesus? This post is in response to a question from the Got Questions? page of this site.  The answer was a bit too long to […]

A Couple of Goats… (4 of 4)

‘The Bible says a woman is worth two goats and a donkey.’ This is the comment that inspired this series of posts as well as the title. As I mentioned in part 1 of A Couple of Goats, the Bible does not in fact say anything about a woman being worth any kind of livestock. […]

A Couple of Goats… (3 of 4)

Today’s subject is Ignorance As with context, Biblical ignorance is rampant among non-believers and believers alike.  The Bible may be the best selling book of all time, but I wonder if it is not the most unread.  It is so easy to quote something out of context when you haven’t read that from which you […]

A Couple of Goats… (2 of 4)

So today I want to talk about CONTEXT This is something that non-believers and Christians are both guilty of abusing all the time. Christians use it of course to defend their position. In effect they try to make God say what they want Him to say. A great example of this is found in Exodus […]

A Couple of Goats… (1 of 4)

I hear all kinds of people misquote, misinterpret, misuse, or just completely miss the point when it comes to the Word of God, the Bible. I normally just let these things roll off my back. A guy could spend a lifetime disseminating useful corrections and helpful suggestions to people who really aren’t interested in the […]

Saved From What?

How many of us have heard the statement “Jesus saves!” Or has anyone ever asked you, “Are you saved?” I don’t remember how old I was when someone asked me that question. I think I was in high school. I really didn’t know what to say. At that time I understood that a certain group […]

Testimony

Hello friends, This is just a quick post to let you know that I wrote out my testimony. I posted it in the About page. It’s long. Sorry. I couldn’t figure a way to shorten it. -Tim

Which Came First, the Chicken or Love? (Part 3 of 3)

So we are at the point now where we are asking ‘What difference does it make if love preceded life?’  ‘Why are you spending any time on this topic at all, Tim?’  Please  bear with me and I will try to reveal something quite meaningful and definitely life changing. The fact that God was content in […]
