The Journey of Life: The Roads We Travel — Part 1
Filled with all its challenges, stressors, sickness, and conflicts, life can be hard. Many people come to see me in the midst of their struggles, desperately searching for a better way to live. But, as I teach them to find practical strategies that will help them cope, I have also discovered that our understanding of reality — how life works — has a direct impact on our understanding of what is happening to us and our ability to cope with the stress.

Finding Peace when Life Is Stressful
Do you ever get stressed, worried, tense, keyed-up? In this world, we cannot avoid moments of stress because stressful events occur. When such events do occur, our bodies have an adaptive response to provide us quick energy and activate our body’s defenses (immune system) to protect us from injury or infection.
-
Anger — Righteous Indignation or Selfish Retaliation?
Do you ever get angry? Recently, I was reading an article about marriage in which a Christian author was describing various indicators that might point to demonic oppression as a contributing cause to marital problems. One indicator he listed was “inappropriate anger.”
-
The False Allure of Universalism
Recently, I received an email from a sincere lady who expressed her appreciation for my book The God-Shaped Brain, but was concerned that I have failed to embrace the fullness of God’s love by not promoting Universalism. She cited 1 Corinthians 13:8, that “love never fails,”

Exegesis and the Thought Police
Have you ever received a note or email with a comment that went something like this: According to Professor Smarter-than-you of the Biblical Academic Institution, your exegesis on Bible text such and such is incorrect”?

Selfishness and Governance
Selfishness is the root of sin, resulting from believing lies about God and breaking the circle of love and trust. Selfishness is based in fear and brings forth envy and jealousy. Selfishness leads to exploiting others rather than serving others.

New Wine in Old Skins
Recently, I received an email from a friend that had such powerful insight that I asked permission to post it on our website as a guest blog. I hope you find it as impactful as I did. – Dr. J Issues of women’s ordination and compliance committees have some of us thinking that deeper forces are at work today in the church.
-
Peace in a Violent World
The Bible tells us that we are living at the end of time and that it is at this time in human history that the evil one would become more ferocious in his attacks upon humanity. But what kind of war does Satan wage?
-
What Is Essential for Salvation?
Have you ever wondered what the essential elements are that make someone a child of God? Is it: Whether they profess Jesus as their Savior? Whether they were baptized in the right way? What day they attend worship services?
-
The Lie That Led To Penal Substitution Theology
God is the Creator who built all reality—space, time, energy, matter, and life. His laws are the laws that reality is constructed to operate upon; the laws of gravity, physics, thermodynamics, health, and the moral laws. These are fixed principles upon which life is constructed to exist.
-
Sabbath — Imposed Rule or Design for Life?
I have many friends who were raised Seventh-day Adventist and were taught to observe the Bible Sabbath from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset—the same Sabbath hours the Jewish people observe. But many of them have found the day to be a day of restriction, a day filled with lists of all the things they cannot do.
