December 13, 2017. This is a continuation of The Divine Love series. For a full-text PDF, click here! Why does evil/suffering exist? When I said that I believed that the fundamental truth of love could answer some of the most difficult questions that mankind has ever asked, I was not speaking in vain. Throughout history,…

The Divine Love, Pt. 1: A Fundamental Truth.
December 12, 2017. It’s been quite some time since I have written something here, and I want to apologize for that. I love writing, and I want to get back into the habit of fleshing out some spiritual thoughts through this medium, as other priorities and plans seem to have taken precedence over this over…
Contextual Hebrews pt. 4: Fundamentals to Maturity.
August 4, 2017. I apologize for writing about this so late, I hit a particularly busy stretch last week. Fortunately (at least in terms of time), we will not be having class this week due to the gospel meeting that is going on at church, so I have some time to write about last week’s…
Contextual Hebrews, pt. 3: Jesus Superior to Moses.
July 19, 2017. This week in class I have decided to continue to go over a few things that we missed last week and add on part of chapter 3 of the book of Hebrews since I didn’t make it through the majority of the lesson last week and I have found in studying and…
Contextual Hebrews: Pt. 1
July 5, 2017. Tonight I am beginning a class in which we will be diving into the book of Hebrews, attempting to gain a better understanding of the writer’s words through the context and Old Testament background of the epistle. Before jumping right into the material, I’ve decided to give a short “pre-test” of the…
Science and Religion.
April 29, 2017. (For a PDF version of this article, click here!) I’ve finally found some time to write about something that has been brewing in my mind for quite a while now. I have wanted to write about the relationship of science and religion, but I think my thoughts are still somewhat dynamic on…
Salvation as a process.
November 2, 2016. “For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” (I Corinthians 1:18) Today I would like to take a few minutes to dwell on the topic of salvation, and perhaps shed light on a biblical…
Genesis 14: Melchizedek.
October 23, 2014. For my final class that I am teaching in Genesis this quarter, we are going to discuss a character that only gets three verses in the book of Genesis, but becomes very important in Christology, especially when discussing the priestly role of Christ. The story of Abram and Melchizedek is perhaps one…
Genesis One: God as Creator.
October 2, 2016. Today I am beginning a class on Genesis of which a friend asked me to cover the first four lessons. We are going to be discussing topics in Genesis throughout the class and drawing truths and applications to our own lives. We aren’t going to go through every chapter, verse by verse,…
Are you an idolator?
September 25, 2016. “Now therefore fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the…
A plea for unity.
September 18, 2016. Ramifications of the reformation. It is an understatement to say that there is a lot of division in the church today. Though it seems that people have been divisive from the beginning (see I Corinthians 1-3), today the amount of separation in the entirety of Christendom is both disheartening and damaging to…
Followship.
September 11, 2016. This weekend I had the opportunity to plan a men’s retreat with a couple of my good friends from church. We decided on the theme of “Service” or being a servant, and there was a particular lesson that I wanted to teach about serving one another in the church. I will admit…
