Chronological

  • Studying the Bible With Those Who Hold Different Beliefs

    Studying the Bible With Those Who Hold Different Beliefs

    by

    Do we use the method of biblical evidence (truth) understood by the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit? Or do we determine “truth” by how it feels, waiting for a warm feeling inside or, perhaps, a miracle or sign?


  • Hosea and Gomer: An Object Lesson of Christ and the Church

    Hosea and Gomer: An Object Lesson of Christ and the Church

    by

    I have read various Bible commentaries that suggest that the experiences of Hosea were to demonstrate what we sinners have done wrong, help us to empathize with how it makes God feel when we are not faithful to Him, and to demonstrate God’s love for us in pursuing us and sacrificing Himself to redeem us. But I think there is a deeper lesson!


  • God’s Love and Law

    God’s Love and Law

    by

    If we break His commandments, does God’s law and justice require Him to use His power to inflict punishment, or does transgression of God’s laws naturally cause the harm, pain, suffering, and ultimately death unless healed by God?


  • Little Red Riding Hood and the Pretenders Among Us

    Little Red Riding Hood and the Pretenders Among Us

    by

    What happens when the wolves in our society distract and obscure truth through the claim of compassion and empathy for people who are confused about their identity?


  • The Trap of Perfectionism—the Fear of Making Mistakes

    The Trap of Perfectionism—the Fear of Making Mistakes

    by

    Many people with good hearts passionately want to do what is right, but become so intent on doing what is right that they get caught in loops of worry, fear of making mistakes, and thus become paralyzed with indecision. How do we break this unhealthy and destructive cycle?


  • Beware: A Method of Seeking Union with Christ that Cuts One Off from Him

    Beware: A Method of Seeking Union with Christ that Cuts One Off from Him

    by

    Meditation practices that turn the mind inward to ourselves, rather than outward to God, instead of enhancing a living relationship with Him, replace that life-giving connection with the Creator with a self-induced emotional counterfeit that slowly cuts themselves off from Him.


  • Ellen G. White and the Gut-Brain Connection

    Ellen G. White and the Gut-Brain Connection

    by

    Amazing as it seems, Ellen G. White gave counsel over 100 years ago that was far advanced for her time and scientifically accurate! Let’s examine her commentary and several recent studies that confirm living in harmony with the laws of health and making healthy food choices will improve your overall health.


  • Bible Perfection and Ongoing Sin

    Bible Perfection and Ongoing Sin

    by

    The real historical events of the life of Elijah also serve as powerful object lessons to the plan of salvation. As the Bible tells us, for example in 1 Corinthians 10:6, the stories of the Old Testament were recorded as examples to us.


  • Elijah Object Lessons for God’s End-time People

    Elijah Object Lessons for God’s End-time People

    by

    The real historical events of the life of Elijah also serve as powerful object lessons to the plan of salvation. As the Bible tells us, for example in 1 Corinthians 10:6, the stories of the Old Testament were recorded as examples to us.


  • Anxiety: A Symptom Made Into a Disorder

    Anxiety: A Symptom Made Into a Disorder

    by

    I want to propose a shift in our thinking that understands anxiety not as a disorder but, rather, always as a symptom of something else.


  • Embracing or Denying the Power of God

    Embracing or Denying the Power of God

    by

    In the old Christian hymn “There Is Power in the Blood,” is the power in the literal blood, or is the power in the One who shed His blood? And if the power is not in the literal blood, then what does the blood represent? How does one access the power?


  • Spiritual Warfare, Angels, Demons, and How to Find Truth

    Spiritual Warfare, Angels, Demons, and How to Find Truth

    by

    In the aftermath of my program Spiritual Warfare: Angels, Demons, Quantum Physics, and Your Brain, I have received a lot of feedback—some positive, some confused, and some negative. Why?

Testimony 18

The Healing the Mind DVD set tarted me on a journey that has changed my relationship with our loving God more significantly than any other study, and brought me to your book and Bible study podcasts, which I now listen to daily, thanks to the availability of archived content on your site and on iTunes.

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 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!

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 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 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 3

My husband is a pastor and I listen to your lesson almost every week. Thank you for helping me in my study life and to help me love the “real” God more.

C. F., NC, USA

 

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.

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 12

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

Testimony 34

I was introduced to Come and Reason Ministries by accident, via a passing comment made in a bible study class we were visiting. I checked this website out and my life was changed. The understanding of the truth of God’s character, and how we apply it, is so right. The tricky part is consistently applying which “lens” to look through. As I began to understand, I started sharing the basics of this understanding with a discussion group I was leading and, suddenly, a lot of things started to make sense that never used to. At the same time, I enjoyed an amazing opportunity. I was able to conduct a full bible study at WORK! What an amazing experience! It is such a joy to share the truth about God and to share how it all fits in the war between God and Satan. So many people benefit when we have a correct understanding about how God works and who He really is! Thank you for this transformational understanding. Keep up the good work! God Bless you!

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!

Testimony 64

I’ve been reading the bible and walking with Jesus since I was around 16. I’m 42 now. I’ve mostly been alone in my walk although I went to several churches in different denominations. For the past 3 years God has been showing me His character of agape. It’s been a blessing and changed how I view God and my walk with Jesus. About a year ago I came across the power of love and the principles of design law. These teachings changed how I read scripture and have been such a beautiful blessing. I’m very excited and grateful for these truths. We share these truths of agape, design law and the reality of the principles of the two trees in the garden of Eden with people on Facebook and YouTube. People all over are learning to trust God and His agape design law which makes life possible. Thank you for everything you shared with me. May God continue to bless your ministry and lives.

Testimony 27

Your teachings about our heavenly Father have changed my life. Thank you sooooooo very very much! I know He’s doing some serious healing in my heart and life and I look forward to each new day to learn something new about Him and to just hear you speak about Him. Thank you, forever.

Nancy S.

 

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!
