God is Always Everywhere and Sometimes Somewhere

I believe an aspect of God’s nature is that He is everywhere. You can sense this for yourself if you spend a moment examining your consciousness, and asking whether there are any boundaries or edges to it. When I do this myself, I have a sense that reality is boundless, and this means that if… Continue reading

A Reflection on John 3:16

Greetings, friends. Quite often, when I’m reading Scripture, I have a ‘wow’ moment when a passage speaks to me in a way it didn’t previously. Today I’d like to share a new understanding I came to of perhaps the most quoted verse in the Christian Bible, John 3:16. The ESV translation says this: For God… Continue reading

Double Predestination

What is Wisdom and Who is Wise?

Age is often equated with wisdom. This belief is based on the idea that knowledge is something which is accumulated, but I dispute this. I don’t believe knowledge and experience are things that are stored up, as many people believe, in the cells of our brains. I don’t believe that in any given moment a… Continue reading
