  • Mounts Gerizim and Ebal: An Object Lesson of Blessings, Cursings, and Salvation

    Mounts Gerizim and Ebal: An Object Lesson of Blessings, Cursings, and Salvation

    by

    Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal are an interesting object lesson, because when God brought the Israelites into the land of Canaan, he told them to pronounce a blessing on Mount Gerizim and a curse on Mount Ebal. Why?


  • Gideon: An Object Lesson for Today

    Gideon: An Object Lesson for Today

    by

    Gideon cognitively believed in God; he knew God was leading. But before he could succeed, he had to overcome some things in his own life.


  • The Deaths of Stephen, George Floyd, and Charlie Kirk

    The Deaths of Stephen, George Floyd, and Charlie Kirk

    by

    My focus in this blog is not on the deceased individuals or the events related to their deaths, but in the aftermath of their deaths, the response of people who would be considered supporters of these individuals.


  • Daniel 8:14 — Does It Really Span 2,300 Years?

    Daniel 8:14 — Does It Really Span 2,300 Years?

    by

    There is an effective criticism that the 2,300 days in Daniel 8:14 are not prophetic days and should not be interpreted as 2,300 years. There are multiple lines of persuasive argument from thoughtful people to support this idea. However, I do not believe they are correct. Here’s why…

    Satan’s Agents in the Church

    by

    Who uses authority and external power to impose laws and inflict punishments? Let’s find out what the parable of the field and sower says, recorded in Matthew chapter 13.


  • Why God Doesn’t Love Everyone the Same

    Why God Doesn’t Love Everyone the Same

    by

    Have you ever heard that there is nothing you can do that would cause God to love you more than He already does, or that there is nothing you can do that would cause God to love you less?


  • Faith, Judgment, and Salvation—Do We Really Trust the Father?

    Faith, Judgment, and Salvation—Do We Really Trust the Father?

    by

    Do we really believe that Jesus and the Father are one and that if we have seen Jesus, we have seen the Father? Do we have faith and trust in the Father, or do we have faith in the misguided mechanics, the mechanisms, the legal loopholes we have invented to protect us from Him?


  • Why Women in the Bible Represent Either the Bride (Church) or the Prostitute

    Why Women in the Bible Represent Either the Bride (Church) or the Prostitute

    by

    The Bible is rich in symbolism, dreams, parables, illustrations, poetry, metaphors, prophecy, rituals, and ceremonies. One of the object lessons in Scripture is that a pure woman represents the church (the bride of Christ) while an impure woman represents the lost. The question is, why do women represent these two groups and not men?


  • A Blessing God Cannot Give & the Lesson of Uncooked Dough

    A Blessing God Cannot Give & the Lesson of Uncooked Dough

    by

    In this blog, we will unpack the object lesson application of events that occurred after the Passover and the tenth plague in Exodus 12.


  • Are Christian Hospitals Still Christian?

    Are Christian Hospitals Still Christian?

    by

    Recently, a friend of mine, who has worked for a Christian hospital for over 30 years, had a cardiac event that required admission and surgery at the hospital where he works. In the aftermath of his hospitalization, he emailed me the following:


  • Two Covenants Upon Two Laws

    Two Covenants Upon Two Laws

    by

    Did you know that there are two covenants in the Bible that are based upon two laws, two promises, two lands, and two starting and ending points? In this blog I contrast and compare them.


  • Atonement Discussion with ChatGPT

    Atonement Discussion with ChatGPT

    by

    This blog documents excerpts from a friend’s discussion he had with Open AI’s Chat GPT. It is quite fascinating that this artificial intelligence is able to fairly accurately and concisely describe the differences in the human imposed law, the law-and-order approach, and the design-law Creator approach to understanding sin and salvation.

Testimony 24

I wanted to thank you very much for presenting your understanding of God. I’ve always been troubled by this question: Why did Jesus have to die? Since my conversion I understood that The Father & Jesus are one, I did not have issues with that. But was there not any other way to save us than for Jesus to die? I guess I actually had a question about God – if He is so wise, how come He did not find another way? I did not see the real ‘beauty’  in the cross. Only when you explained the picture in the medical context, Jesus providing medicine for my selfishness, have I started to finally ‘see the light’. Thank you so much. Your seminar, “Healing the Mind,” are absolutely marvelous & have shared them with my family and many other people, including colleagues at work. Thanks, thanks, thanks. May God bless you abundantly in your ministry.

M. W., Australia

 

Testimony 5

We listen to your bible studies lessons in our class in Montana. You actually were the main reason I decided to get a laptop, so I can go to your site and listen, read, learn, and print the class notes. I am so grateful to learn the correct view of God and his character. Now, to just have others have an interest in knowing, so I can share it with them. Good thoughts your way.

R. N., MT, USA

 

Testimony 14

We really appreciate your views on the judgment and they make good sense considering our free choice.

I have been sharing Come And Reason Ministries Bible study lessons with several folk. You have such a beautiful view of the plan of salvation. If we had this message preached when I was young, my generation would still all be in church.

H. R., New Zealand

Testimony 53

I was so blessed by a friend who gave me your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” while I was sitting in church asking God to please help me learn more about Him and help me not to be so confused and scared. That was about 2 years ago. Your books have helped me to love God even more. I’m not confused or scared anymore! I have listened to all of your bible study classes and feel like I know the wonderful people that attend every week. Thank you for all that you’re doing in spreading the true message about God and His law of love. God bless you and your whole class.

Testimony 71

When I was 9 years old, I remember setting at our devotional table with a hunger and thirst for God that wanted more, deeper, BETTER. I can remember literally crying and pounding on the table, “I know these teachers didn’t mean to give us error. They taught what THEY had been TAUGHT, but didn’t ANYBODY READ THE BOOK?!?!?” It mattered to me then. It mattered to me as a teenager. It matters now as I teach bible classes. It didn’t have to be so hard as I watched so many give up and lay God’s great plan and gift of salvation aside as being “impossible.” Then, a friend sent me a link to Come And Reason’s website. I grew excited. YES! FINALLY! Then another friend told me to stay away, saying her son had just broken up with a girl because she was involved with Come And Reason and that “Tim Jennings preaches a false gospel.” But, AFTER many years of developing an authentic and, dare I say FUN relationship with Jesus, through the Holy Spirit I see this message has been around a LONG time, since the apostle Paul, Ellen White, Graham Maxwell, Ray Foucher, and yourself (though I admit, you’ve made me back up, rewind and replay the clips, and get out my well-worn Bible on a few things.) I’m so thankful I have found LIGHT during these DARK days. I am not alone.

Testimony 11

I would love to have a copy of “Healing the Mind” DVDs to have in my therapy office. I enjoy having clients check out materials to enhance their therapy experience. I have sat under Dr. Jennings’ teaching at an American Association of Christian Counselors convention and respect his work greatly.

Testimony 35

I am so pleased with the response your message is receiving at my church from the middle-aged to the young adults. I have given out 100 copies of the first two seminars and there are more request every week. One of my [class members] came to me after viewing the series, grateful and impressed with how easy the message was retained. He had been a Seventh-day Adventist in fear all his life, and felt like the scales were removed from his eyes after viewing the seminars. I am so impressed by the change I see in members who have received this message, we are in one accord. However, I am sadden by the negative response of the older people. I am verbally attacked anytime I talk about imposed laws, but I believe my mission is to enlightened everyone I can. I watch your Bible Study Class on YouTube every Friday night and I feel like I am apart of the class. All of you are in one accord and I am so blessed to have found you. I pray that all of you continue to spread this message and I am committed to doing my part.

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 60

Just watched watched lesson 10 in the 1st quarter 2021 bible study classs on Isaiah. I want to thank you for your intellectual spirituality; it’s not an oxymoron! From the point of view of a teacher I also enjoy seeing how much personal pleasure you clearly take in not just tasting, but feasting on God’s word – it reminds me of Jeremiah not being able to hold it in! It makes me smile that your cup is so full and overflowing that you make it to Tuesday’s lesson (on a good day). It just goes to show the richness of God’s Word.

God bless the Come and Reason Team from our church here in Great Britain.

Andrew H., Great Britain

 

Testimony 67

I was introduced to Come And Reason by a friend of my mother-in-law, who gave me several CD’s of Dr. Jennings. The clarity of the message and recognition that God’s is a God of love was so clear, advancing beyond Dr. Maxwell’s message. However, grappled with Maxwell saying God used emergency measures for the fallen world. Now after several years of being a regular listener of the Come And Reasoning bible study class and attending Jennings’ meetings in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, things are becoming clearer for me. Design law versus imposed law has added so much to my personal understanding of theology. This message has really impacted my work in counseling so many people miserable because they are searching for and trusting human governments to create order and peace or believing in a God who says love Me or I will kill you. I am grateful that I have an alternative view to offer my clients that makes sense. I teach a bible study class on a semi-regular basis and I value the materials that Come And Reason so freely offers to aid me in presenting this vital message. Thank you for continuing to provide advancement in our very limited understanding of a Infinite God that is rational and believable.

Dr. Roger D, Arlington, TX, USA

 

Testimony 50

After coming into contact with Come And Reason Ministries, I can finally say that many of my unanswered questions have fallen into place. I discovered that my view of God’s Law was “imposed laws and rules” with “imposed punishments” and that this was the major culprit of my many unanswered questions. Thanks be to God for using you and those around you to help us who have struggled with this “infection” of thought. I have now rejected the “imposed law” concept to fully embrace “Design Law”… to look thru “Design Law,” instead of “imposed law,” is a relief.

Testimony 44

We were given a gift of the DVD set, “God and Your Brain,” and we just finished watching it. The truths in this are so powerful and truly an answer to a prayer. We’re seeing hope where once we thought God wasn’t answering our prayers to be free of certain mindsets. He answered with these DVDs and we are hungry for more. Thank you!

Daniel T., Easley, SC, USA
