  • 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?


  • The Only Solution for “Trump Derangement Syndrome”

    The Only Solution for “Trump Derangement Syndrome”

    by

    If people continue to focus upon fears, threats, the world, the abuses, the injustices, then their future, with all its potential imaginary threats, will only get worse.

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.

B. F., Silicon Valley, CA, USA

 

Testimony 66

I am incredibly grateful for the transformative impact you’ve had on my life, and words cannot fully express my appreciation. Over the years, I have been an avid listener and follower of C&R and extend my heartfelt thanks for creating the C&R mobile app. It has allowed me to immerse myself in your lessons repeatedly, enabling me to grasp the profound significance about the Character of God, Design Law, the protocols for life, the reasons behind the current chaos, and Christ’s mission to restore everything. They have deeply touched me. Having studied with various churches, I came away with the perception that God is no different from the deities of ancient Greek or Roman mythology—demanding sacrifices and taking pleasure in bloodshed. Thanks to your transformative teachings, I have experienced a profound awakening to the true nature of God and the immense power of His love. It is truly a remarkable and liberating sensation to finally grasp the truth and embrace the empowering nature of God’s laws. My self-perception has become brighter and more infused with love. My journey of growth continues on a daily basis.

Chris P., Lake Mary, FL, USA

 

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

 

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 41

I have been blessed by your ministry. I have experienced personally, and deeply resonate with, the God of love and the beautiful picture of God’s character that you present. I have seen your seminar series on YouTube, read ‘The Journal of the Watcher’ book, used your mobile app, and also listen/study the bible study lesson with you each week. I concur with many of the thoughts and perspectives that you share. I understand your conclusions on natural laws vs imposed law and the legal/penal substitution (incorrect diagnosis). This makes perfect sense to me.

Bless you for all you do.

Melissa L.

 

Testimony 22

I have found your Bible study class lectures to be very inspiring and useful as I prepare to teach class every other week. I subscribe to the podcast and download your notes on the weeks I teach. The audio and notes are such a great help in preparing. My own understanding of God’s character has grown as I teach the class. Commendations on the thought-provoking and well-prepared material Come and Reason provides. Personally, I get excited by the tie you make between the spiritual and mental/physical domains.

Testimony 17

The blessings of clarity and understanding you and your class inspire me to take from the word of God have impressed upon me so greatly the true, loving character of our Creator. I have found amazing freedom and joy through building a stronger, more intentional relationship with Him. What is new is that this is now a relationship built on love, reverence and respect rather than fear and obligation, and as such my eyes have been slammed OPEN as I am continually impressed by the manifestations of God’s true character in His provisions for fallen man.

Testimony 75

Thank you so much for everything you do! Because of all these truths, I’m excited to be with Jesus! I always pray everyday, “COME TODAY, JESUS.” Before finding C&R, I was always praying for delays, “NOT TODAY OH GOD. I AM NOT READY.” I just need to share more, talk more bout this truth, so everybody will be excited for Jesus.

J C Shin

Testimony 6

I got the book “Could It Be This Simple?” a few months ago and the reading was wonderful and I was fascinated. I lent the book to a friend at work. She is having a difficult time and the book is helping her to find Jesus and I found this very exciting. She has asked me questions and I can see her life changing.

H. S., Australia

 

Testimony 39

[This ministry is the] biggest blessing I have ever received! Your DVDs and lessons could not have come at a better time in my life. I have experienced in the past year many difficulties that, if it wasn’t for this wonderful view of God that I have discovered through this ministry, I would not have been able to respond in love and forgiveness. My heart is being transformed everyday by the Calvary-looking God you teach. Hallelujah!! I have tears in my eyes as I write, because my life has taken a complete turn from where I was heading.

I am from Central America. Most of my family is scattered in different parts of the world and all have the same view of God that I had growing up; a distant, exacting, and ready-to-punish-us-with-tragedy type of God. So, I have been translating lessons for my family and, to my surprise, they have also been sharing them with others! I can already see the difference. My brother has often said, “Thank you for sharing, I have never heard it this way!” My other family members are taking an amazing turn from a message of “repent or burn” towards a loving God, pleading to us that we won’t reject him because he loves us eternally.

Bless you for all you do.

Sofia S., Ashfield, MA, USA

 

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!

Judy Phelps, Reno, NV, USA

Testimony 43

Two years ago I stumbled upon your book, “Could It Be This Simple,” and then found “The God-Shaped Brain” videos on YouTube, your bible study class, and the ‘Come And Reason’ mobile app. I shared your book with a friend and after nine months of showing love, patience, and kindness this person has been changed by the love of God, too. The same love that healed me, I now express to other women in tangible ways, such as to a Baptist woman with high anxiety and childhood trauma. She was extremely happy and relieved when I shared about the so-called “judgment of God” and burning in hell. She had no desire to serve a God that was so harsh. I have repeated the phrase dozens of times to her. “What we believe has power over us, but we have power over what we believe…”

This message that you are sharing has changed my life. I will continue to serve other women and bring this message of God’s healing love to their lives by sharing your books, YouTube videos, and The Remedy Bible app. Keep up the good work. Don’t be discouraged. God is doing a mighty work in and through this ministry!

Jill L., Midwest, USA

 

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.

B. L.M., North Plains, OR, USA

 

Testimony 46

Over the past couple of years God has been expanding my view of Himself and His character. Along my approximately 40-year journey, I have often had questions, but was hesitant to voice these and step outside the traditionally accepted thinking, for fear of admitting that I may in fact be eternally lost. In the recesses of my thinking has been the thought – if one blindly accepts (which is widely regarded as “real faith”) and does not question, is this really ‘truth?’ I often find it challenging to grapple with very theological ‘speak,’ but Dr. Jennings has a real gift of explaining spiritual concepts with clear practical examples. The weekly discussions are growing my Christian experience and slowly changing my view of how to live as a child of God in today’s complex world. Finally the whole Old Testament sanctuary teaching moved in my mind from fantasy to reality!

Beverly S., South Africa

 

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
