  • How and Why Good People Choose to Do Evil

    How and Why Good People Choose to Do Evil

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    Within the schools of psychoanalytic thought, there has been a long debate between classic Freudian analysts and Object Relations analysts, who focus on the drive for relationship and attachment, as to which drive is primary—the selfish drive of the id, or the desire for attachment, relationship, and love. Let’s explore this further…

  • Why David Was Not Allowed to Build God’s Temple

    Why David Was Not Allowed to Build God’s Temple

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    Let’s unpack the story of King David and the temple. Despite David being a man after God’s own heart, despite God promising him that one of his descendants would be the Messiah and reign eternally on his throne, God refused to let David build the temple in Jerusalem. Why?

  • Worldliness in the Church

    Worldliness in the Church

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    The comparison of Israel entering the promise land and the saints entering heaven is a solid biblical object lesson and many Christian leaders throughout history have found valuable lessons from this illustration. What are the lessons, if any, that are applicable to us today?

  • The Lie of Socialism, the Evil of Equity, and How Christians Are Duped

    The Lie of Socialism, the Evil of Equity, and How Christians Are Duped

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    One of Satan’s most despicable traps is how he exploits human compassion, empathy, and the desire to help the downtrodden through programs with the stated goal of blessing the poor—but by using methods that, in reality, sever the bonds of love and trust that Jesus established for human relationships and thriving.

  • A Righteous Prayer in a Wicked World

    A Righteous Prayer in a Wicked World

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    It seems that no matter where I look in the media today, there is conflict, fighting, outrage, mistreatment, and division—all of which is stirring up fear, anger, and hostility. Where are the righteous? Where is the love of God? Where is the unity inherent in our faith?

  • God Reaches Those Who Have Never Heard the Gospel

    God Reaches Those Who Have Never Heard the Gospel

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    Is there anything in the kingdom of God that functions like human law? Is God required by some law to use His power to inflict punishment upon sinners? Does being saved from sin require some legal work in heaven, an adjustment in a legal registry? Does God require a legal payment be made to Him in order to get Him to forgive our sins?

  • Discussion with an Adventist Pastor About Design Law

    Discussion with an Adventist Pastor About Design Law

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    Recently, I had an email discussion with a thoughtful Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) pastor who has many questions about our design-law view of things. Here are some excerpts from our discussion that I thought would be helpful to share.

  • Differentiating God’s Solution to the Fear of Death From the Lies of Eastern Meditation

    Differentiating God’s Solution to the Fear of Death From the Lies of Eastern Meditation

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    According to Scripture, the entire human race is enslaved by the fear of death. People defend against this fear by doing various things to keep something about them alive. Let’s explore one of these tactics: Meditation.

  • The Message to Laodicea — Sent to the Seventh-day Adventist Church – Part 2

    The Message to Laodicea — Sent to the Seventh-day Adventist Church – Part 2

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    In 1890, one of the founders of the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church, Ellen G. White wrote an article that was published in the Review and Herald that plainly breaks through all the false legal lie. In this part 2 of this series, let’s unpack portions of that article.

  • The Message to Laodicea — Sent to the Seventh-day Adventist Church – Part 1

    The Message to Laodicea — Sent to the Seventh-day Adventist Church – Part 1

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    In 1890, one of the founders of the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church, Ellen G. White (EGW), who the church officially recognizes as having the special gift of prophecy, wrote an absolutely stunning article published in the church’s official flagship publication, The Review and Herald, in which she specifically applies the Laodicean message to the SDA Church.

  • Being Faithful to God—How Do We Do This?

    Being Faithful to God—How Do We Do This?

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    If we could go back in time and interview Saul of Tarsus before his Damascus Road experience and ask him, as he is persecuting Christians, “Saul, are you being faithful to God and His covenant with Israel?” — what do you think he would have said? Can people be faithful to something other than God and God’s cause?

  • Victory in the New Year

    Victory in the New Year

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    What do you think of the idea that, whatever our age, it is easier to do wrong than to do right? Is this an absolute truth, a situational truth, or an untruth? If it contains truth, when is it true?

Testimony 10

I personally download and listen to each of Come And Reason Ministries Bible study class lessons and PDF study notes to use when teaching my class. Really appreciate the class especially when Dr. Jennings is teaching. Thank God there are persons like him doing His work and traveling to share His beliefs.

Testimony 74

Thank you so much for opening my eyes. I’ve been through a lot of ministries that just didn’t show the love of God that I felt he was. You have helped me to begin the process of true healing. I thought I was “too far gone,” now I know there’s hope in Jesus, because he loves us beyond what we can comprehend. Thank you again for all you do. I truly appreciate it and pray more people find you (physical at your studio and through this website).

Testimony 31

It was very touching to hear the testimony of your class share how viewing God’s true character has changed their lives. My feelings are the same – there is so much freedom in knowing that God LOVES me – regardless of my… just, REGARDLESS! I’m still blown away by the true gospel, the fact that God is not ready to strike us when we fail. He is not arbitrary. He simply loves us and warns of the natural consequences because He can’t stand to see us suffer. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS GOD!!!

Testimony 70

I have been watching you for many years and have learned to love God with all my heart. I was raised by a loving Christian mother that had been lied to about who God really was, so our religious upbringing was hell fire and damnation. As soon as I was old enough and moved out, I not only left the church, I ran as fast as I could to get away from it. Sad to say, it wasn’t until the past couple of years that I learned and understand who my Father really is and how much He loves me. I understand God’s Design Laws (which make sense) and when I’m teaching my church Bible study class, I’m able to really put to use the things I’ve been learning and Holy Spirit is leading. Thank you for introducing me to my Father of true, pure love. Everyday with Him is new and exciting. One thing that breaks my heart is that I didn’t know Him sooner. God Bless you and your ministry!

Testimony 76

Warm greetings from Tanzania! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team at Come And Reason Ministries for the amazing work you do. Your teachings have opened my eyes to deep biblical truths and how to live them out in real life. I started following the ministry back in 2018, and ever since, my walk with God has grown so much stronger. I’ve found freedom from fear-based faith and now live with more peace and trust in Him. I’ve also been sharing what I’ve learned, especially through Bible School discussions. Your lessons are so insightful and well-explained that I try not to miss a single one. May God continue to bless the work you’re doing.
Elisha M., Tanzania, Africa

Testimony 56

I cannot thank you enough for opening my understanding to the beautiful truth of God’s Law of Love and how it applies to everything. I have been a Christian for over forty years, but I feel like I am only now seeing with my eyes open. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

Testimony 49

I came into the church at 21, but that is as far as it went. I was so confused about what love is. I couldn’t find it in the bible, because I am not a person that can read between the lines. I have no logic. I have read many, many books; trying to figure out the crux of the matter. They were helpful, but something was still missing. I have become very frustrated to the point of crying out to God, “Where can I go?”  I needed some basics.

I found two books, written by Timothy Jennings, MD, to be very helpful. God showed me that I had lived my whole life in fear. I didn’t even see it. Now, I do. God is so good.  I discovered the “The Remedy”  Dr. Jennings new book, “The God-Shaped Heart!” Oh, I was so excited, I purchased them right away.

I can get rid of most of my books, because “The Remedy” brings the Love of God out so clearly, even I can’t miss it. Now, I want to sit and read my Bible. Wow, what a revelation! It is just simply Awesome! I am so grateful to Jehovah Almighty for hearing my prayer for more understanding! I am so encouraged!

Testimony 26

Your teachings about our heavenly Father have changed my life. Thank you sooooooo very very much! I know He’s doing some serious healing in my heart and life and I look forward to each new day to learn something new about Him and to just hear you speak about Him. Thank you, forever.

Testimony 65

I have been tuning into your weekly study classes for a while now and wanted express my appreciation for the teachings that ha been a huge blessing in opening up the true message of the word. Viewing scripture under an imposed law theory always, without fail, raised more questions, concerns, and conflicting scripture interpretations that were discouraging at the very least. Looking at scripture through the design law lens has brought more truth to light for me personally and an understanding of our Heavenly Father that places Him “above all others,” where I am now more than thrilled to witness and serve Him.  I “stumbled” across this ministry a year or so ago and would only watch a few minutes at a time. But the more I listened and the longer I paid attention, the more my spiritual eyes were opened to the ever present truths of scripture. The comprehension of the great controversy and it’s origin by the lies perpetrated and perpetuated throughout the Bible on the attack of God’s character and government is truly priceless. Keep up the Good Work! Your servanthood is desperately needed in such a time as this!

Testimony 73

I have been truly blessed by your blogs and other resources. They have helped me to see things in a much brighter light and to reason things out better. Thank you so much for your ministry. Whenever I have the opportunity I pass along your material to my friends.

Testimony 8

Thank you for the ministry you are sharing with us, it is a real blessing to us and especially to my husband and myself! You are encouraging us to think for ourselves and not just to except everything, without thinking it through, with God’s word!

Testimony 33

I was invited over a friend’s house to see the “God and Your Brain” seminar today. I became [a christian] 36 years ago at the age of 19, but have struggled with the concept of God taking His ‘pound of flesh’ out on His Son to be appeased. Wow. Your seminar has been an incredible revelation and breath of reason and fresh air! I have your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” and it is SO eye opening. Finally, after 36 years enlightenment has come! Praise the Good Lord! What can I say, but that the Real Gospel is truly “Good News!” Thank you for your efforts in giving the Gospel a clear sound!

Paul C.,  Springfield, MA, USA
