  • 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

    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 52

Your unique way in spreading the truth is what we all need today. Most of us don’t recognize the contamination coming from all the lies and selfishness in the world. Because of our fear of death, we forgot how to live. Lies left and right. I was losing hope and faith, because of so many ideas that are always contradicting each other – so many questions answered by other, more complicated, questions – until I found your channel on YouTube.

You did not just give me answers, you also taught me how to answer new questions that arise in my mind. Now I see things differently. I see God’s mercy, grace, and Love everywhere, in spite of all the chaos that we all have done as humans. I don’t fear death anymore. Accepting the Truth and Love about God is truly a genuine Freedom from all the confusions, sufferings, selfishness, pain, and death.

I just wanted to say, thank you, sooooo much for revealing the real Remedy for our infected life. I have a new hope and now see the world in a different perspective!

Testimony 12

I have been really blessed reading your response to the various questions on your site.

Testimony 32

The message [of Come And Reason Ministries is] for all Christians (and those who may become Christians) and not just Adventists or any other group. It is difficult to imagine why any [anyone] with intellectual and spiritual honesty could find fault with the way you explained the healing substitution concepts and the truth about God’s character, though I know some will reject and criticize. On behalf of those in our group near Tacoma, WA, thank you and your staff for all of the hard work and for sharing the Gospel in this manner. God’s message of healing love will be carried to the whole world and then Jesus will come – He promised it.

Terry U., Tacoma, WA, USA

 

Testimony 38

Since November 2015, when I started studying Gods word from this God Is Love point of view, my life has been transformed. My troubled marriage of 15 years has been healed and my husband and I are truly happy for the first time in 15 years. Now When I read the word of God I understand it so much better and I can’t help but see Gods love radiating through the pages to humanity. Gods word is living and active and I am blessed beyond measure to be having this amazing experience. God has given me a beautiful understanding of Jn 3:16 that amazes me more and more each day. Thank you again for your ministry.

Testimony 30

God lead me to your book “The God-Shaped Brain” while I was searching for another book about the brain and then to your interview about your book on HeartWise Ministries [where] I found out about [Come And Reason Ministries]. I’m now devouring the webcasts of your Bible studies. I have been so greatly blessed and I thank God so much for your courage to speak the Truth in love no matter what. Listening to you contrast the two opposing systems (laws) and digging deep to unearth the hidden treasures in the Bible makes me so incredibly happy and I feel very blessed to be part of your Bible Study Group although I live far away. I am just so excited that there is a group of people that is spreading the Truth about the character of God and it saddens me how few realize what our Father in Heaven is really like.

Testimony 28

I have been following your Bible study class for about a year now. I must say I am impressed with how your ministry has grown. I took it upon myself to listen to all your lesson podcasts from the past and they have both enriched me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I have learnt a lot from this class. I have also noticed how the class has grown in spiritual strength. One of the things that benefited me is that now I am not afraid of God. I use to be, but now it has melted away. The second thing is that you helped me to have a real life relationship with God. Now He is my friend that was always there and I love having him with me all the time. Thirdly, because of this class, it inspired me to take over and lead a class. I have called it “Let Us Reason Together,” adapting your inquisitive style and creating a class of free thinkers.

Testimony 63

I’ve been very blessed by “The God Shaped Brain” and this ministry, through video and podcast, over the last few years. It’s truly opened up my eyes more to the truth about God and the importance of that truth in the present world. The message is so inviting, freeing and enlightening and MORE people need to know about it. I believe it is the last message that can truly, not only prepare a people for salvation and translation, but vindicate the character of God.

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 2

I continue to enjoy your lessons every week. The more that I research your conclusions, the more I am convinced that the Holy Spirit has lead you to distill out the essence of human redemption. Thank you for your courageous stand for the truth.

Testimony 62

I would like to express my thanks to the C&R team for creating a platform from which people can learn to trust in God and grow. My life is a witness to the effectiveness of this ministry. Without believing the truth about God as you have shown, I don’t know what my life would be like. I had given up on God helping me with certain sins – it was all useless. Given that the scripture is clear and God is so good, how could I have betrayed him so many times? I was a yo-yo christian; spinning up and down. My faith and enthusiasm was driven by discoveries/threats that prophecy is about to be fulfilled. But when I watched your “Healing the Mind” seminar, it was like a light finally went on. I could see God had no plan to hurt me, the danger came from sin, and that He is working to protect me and strengthen me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. The message God gave C&R saved my life!

Antony N. – Hobart, Australia

 

Testimony 23

I would just like to add my voice to the many people who, I believe, must have contacted you to express their appreciation for the “Healing the Mind” DVDs. I’ve been listening to your Bible study class discussions for many years and I’ve been personally blessed by your research and teaching about the character of God.

L. G., Oakland, MI, USA

 

Testimony 40

I was brought up in a different faith and have been petrified my whole life of God. I believed that I would burn in hell for eternity. When I was 12 I started pursuing the things of this world, but for the next 45 years the Spirit was always calling me, as I knew there was a God through nature. I could see the vast sea of stars in the universe and knew there was something bigger out there. Five years ago, through a Revelation seminar, I was blessed to learn about God’s character and government.

Then I found Come and Reason Ministries and have come under some extreme pressure when I speak about the ministry. One time a member sent me an internet article titled “Whats wrong with Tim Jennings?” I asked her what she thought of it and she said “I don’t know, I didn’t read it.”

I have always wanted to find out for myself the truth about God, so I stayed with the Design Law construct and have been liberated to understand the big picture. Once we consider Design Law, all other Bible stories and prophecies seem to fit perfectly. It is truly beautiful to see people grasping how God operates this Universe of Love and the liberation it has provided in their lives. It blows my mind to see how consistent Design law is with what our founders believed. I hear statements like “This makes so much sense.”

Tom W., Mt. Pleasant, MI, USA

 

Testimony 21

I am absolutly on fire with the message at Come and Reason! I can’t get enough! I’ve read your book, blog, and articles. I’ve listened to your Bible study podcasts, your radio show, and your series – all excellent! It wasn’t until the past couple of years that I have I like I’m becoming “healthy,” with more to share with others than just beasts and commandments! I used to be a Bible worker and preached when the pastors were gone until I had had enough. I didnt realize at the time what the problem was, but i know now… the message wasn’t properly focused. Now my flame is rekindled. All of your little examples are so perfect in explaining something “complicated” and making it easily understood! Now I’m trying to shape it into a life changing evangelistic series! Thank you!

M.T., USA

 

Testimony 16

Your seminars are still inspiring and changing our lives and we continue to share the principles we have learned from you. Your ministry has changed our lives!

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.

Elssy P., Modesto, CA, USA
