  • Worldliness in the Church

    Worldliness in the Church

    by

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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?


  • Introverts, Extroverts, and God’s Design for Life

    Introverts, Extroverts, and God’s Design for Life

    by

    Are people either an introvert or an extrovert? Are you one or the other? What was Jesus? Can you be of service to people if you are an introvert?


  • Obedience of Faith or Law?

    Obedience of Faith or Law?

    by

    When you hear calls to be obedient to God’s law, what comes to mind? Do you think of God’s law like our human laws, rules imposed that God polices and enforces through punishments?

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!

Testimony 61

I grew up in a prominent protestant church and had what I like to call religious anxiety. I’ve always had questions about God and Salvation that no one could seem to answer.  I didn’t know how to find resolution. During 2020, at the height of my anxiety, I fell to my knees and begged God to show me truth and light and to give me the hope that I’ve been longing for. Days later, I stumbled upon your online videos and it was like a veil was lifted and EVERYTHING made sense! For the first time in my almost 39 years of life, my religious/spiritual anxiety has lessened. I feel a sense of freedom and peace I’ve NEVER had before… and it’s all because my view of God has changed. Thank you!

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 57

You have helped make sense of thirty two years of confusion. The material you freely provide reorganized so much of my life into such a beautiful pattern that has always been hinted at from within, but misguided with my training and what I was experiencing externally. My filipno parents, who were converted from Catholicism to SDA, were sincere and did their best to raise me the right way and I have deep respect for them. However, being immigrants and not understanding the language made for a difficult transition as I was growing up, which also applied to my spiritual growth as I learned the patterns of religion. I have been listening to as many bible study classes and reading blog posts as my time in a work truck will allow, searching for the practical applications of where spirituality and reality meet, and I thank you for helping me find that. You have helped me reach a point in which I can truly say that I love God, that I believe He loves me, and, like David, I delight in His law. God bless.

Testimony 45

I have been confused for years about what [christianity] calls [its] most disgusting teaching. It has never made much sense to me and for that reason has been evermore empty. I have listened to your class off and on and have struggled determining what is truth, because of the resistance design law encounters in the church. So, I thank God for your ministry. What you teach makes sense. It’s logical and backed up by the power of love. I have never seen that in Christ until now. I am astounded by the insight that is found when we look at God’s ministry through design law. All strength to this message, as I believe it to be the power of God.

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 15

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.

Testimony 1

Thank you! I love listening to the Come And Reason Ministries Bible study classes and am using some of your notes to get the lessons together that I will be teaching. You always have such good quotes and Bible texts and pull things together to make good sense.

Testimony 25

I just want to say thank you so much for your conversations via YouTube. I regularly tune in to your lectures, “Let’s Talk” sessions, and many others. Through these I’ve found greater depth and meaning to God’s word. Thanks for all that you do and please continue. I’m currently working in the middle of Silicon Valley at Stanford University. I feel like God really has me in the right place right now and I’m sensing that your teachings might be part of it.

Testimony 42

I am just writing to say that I have been so blessed by the teachings of Come And Reason Minitries recently. I watched last week’s bible study lesson on Youtube and am thankful that the error in the printed lesson guide you use was pointed out and this week’s study was of equal benefit, if not more so. My understanding of God’s nature has been very confused of late and I am so grateful for clarity in this matter. I have never really fully understood previously how a good God can cause bad things to happen and now I realise that He doesn’t, it’s a natural consequence of sin. May the almighty Father and His Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, continue to bless your ministry.

Testimony 19

I truly believe that to know who God really is the first step to understand ourselves in a balanced and kind way, so the healing can take place. Your approach really makes sense – Thank you for your ministry!

Testimony 13

I borrowed “Healing The Mind” DVDs from a friend and showed them at my home for a small gathering of women friends. Neither of my friends are Adventist, but they both enjoyed and embraced the messages you taught. In fact, one of the ladies prayed out loud in our group and that was the first time she had ever had public prayer.

Testimony 37

Hearing Dr. Jennings’ presentations in person came at a pivotal moment in my spiritual journey that began about nine months ago, when the fault lines inherent in my belief system began to crack under questions that most reasonable people end up asking about God and His nature. These were questions I couldn’t find answers to, and they shook my faith. I was unable let it go any longer and be satisfied. My Christian experience became distant. I was afraid; the fear in me rose like thorns, pushing me away from Jesus. And then someone heard my questions and introduced me to this ministry, and my life has totally changed.

I can tell you that this new, “present truth” message is far grander and life-changing than when I shifted from being an agnostic and then a nominal Christian. It has radically altered my worldview, because it reveals a God that makes sense. It is a revolution. I believe that Dr. Jennings’ message is the final message that must go to the world. If any message could be called “righteousness by faith,” as abused as that term is by the right and the left, this is that message, because Jennings’ biblical message identifies a God who is different, whose character isn’t an impossible contradiction.

I walk this path now without fear. I see people differently, and the Holy Spirit burns in my heart. Many call Dr. Jennings’ message false and compromising, but it isn’t false, because I’ve seen the fruits within my mind and body. It is not compromising, because in this message is the only road to holiness that makes any sense. No longer do I behold a pagan god who is always angry and suspicious. Instead, I behold a God who is freeing and loving, always working for our good, and giving me every reason to love my enemy even to my own death, just as Jesus pleads with us. God is good.

Testimony 48

I just want to tell you how blessed I have been reading “The Remedy!” It has become a daily part of my devotional relationship with God. In it I have found a God of love and a God that loves me! The bible has come alive for me! It is the first time that I can say that I have felt hope fill my heart as I have read God’s word. This is good news I can share! Thank you, Dr Jennings! Thank you for your heart for others. I can’t put into words how this has set me free! It has strengthened my trust and love for God.
