Knowing Jesus and His Word
Is there a difference between knowing Jesus and His Word and knowing the Bible or the theology/doctrines of your church?

Understanding Ellen G. White’s Quote About the Righteousness of Christ and the Sinner’s Account
When I read passages like, “The law demands righteousness, and this the sinner owes to the law; but he is incapable of rendering it.” (R&H, Nov 4, 1890), I find it helpful to ask, “When Adam sinned, did God get changed or did God’s law get changed?” So let’s look at this through Design Law.

The problem is a misunderstanding of imposed law, design law, and differentiate between first death and second death.
-
What Makes the Sabbath Holy?
Are all of God’s laws, including the fourth commandment, truly design laws, protocols built into reality, or are some of His laws arbitrary, simply made-up rules imposed by God by His declaring it to be so?
-
God With Us—Forever!
Be in awe, stand amazed, let your heart be humbled in adoration and love, for our Creator God is not ashamed of us and will never be ashamed of us.

The Psychodynamics of Saul Becoming Paul
The experiences of Saul of Tarsus (up through the events on the Damascus Road) are quite instructive to us when considering how God works through events and circumstances to present opportunities for people to experience His healing and how He works to win us to salvation.
