  • False Allegations about Substitution and Christ’s Mission

    False Allegations about Substitution and Christ’s Mission

    by

    Recently, I have noted, from online forums and emails, a resurgence in the number of people who misunderstand what our ministry teaches. It appears these misunderstandings arise out of false assumptions. For instance, if we say we don’t believe in “penal substitution,” then some individuals allege we don’t believe in the substitutionary nature of Christ’s death, which of course is not true.


  • Bible Genocide & A God of Love

    Bible Genocide & A God of Love

    by

    Can you please explain the genocide that occurs in the Old Testament. For example God orders the Israelites to go and wipe out certain nations. The reason held is because if they don’t, then the influence on the Israelites will lead them away from God. How do you reconcile this order with the picture of a loving God?


  • Appeasing an Offended God, What It Really Means!

    Appeasing an Offended God, What It Really Means!

    by

    This week, an online viewer to my weekly Bible Study Class asked how I understand this quotation from an article in Signs of the Times Dec 23, 1886: The altar and the promise stand side by side, and one casts clear beams of light upon the other, showing that the justice of an offended God could be appeased only by the death of his beloved Son.


  • What Does the Veil Represent? – Satan or Jesus?

    What Does the Veil Represent? – Satan or Jesus?

    by

    Thanks for your SS lessons which I watch without fail as they become available. Loved lesson 4’s typology. However, there is so much symbolism in Jesus being the 2nd veil, which I have summarized below:


  • Jesus Paying Our Debt To God

    Jesus Paying Our Debt To God

    by

    I just saw this quote and wanted what your understanding of it is: The servant who had defrauded his master had nothing with which to make restitution. The sinner who has robbed God of years of service has no means of canceling the debt. Jesus interposes between the sinner and God, saying, I will pay the debt. Let the sinner be spared; I will suffer in his stead.  {Review & Herald, December 14, 1911 par. 16}


  • Forgiveness in the Non-Penal View

    Forgiveness in the Non-Penal View

    by

    In this non-penal picture of God, when I ask Him to forgive me, what am I asking Him to do? And then, following that vein, when I ask a person to forgive me, what am I asking them to do?


  • The God-Shaped Brain Changing Lives

    The God-Shaped Brain Changing Lives

    by

    The God-Shaped Brain: How Changing Your View of God Transforms Your Life was released by Intervarsity Press in late April 2013. Since its release it has been extremely well received […]


  • Biblical Keywords: Comparing Definitions

    Biblical Keywords: Comparing Definitions

    by

    Many times, on theological topics like justice, judgment, atonement, satisfaction, etc., we encounter conflicts with those who oppose or do not appreciate what we are saying. Comparing how these and […]


  • Why Does the Law Demand the Life of the Sinner?

    Why Does the Law Demand the Life of the Sinner?

    by

    How do we harmonize quotes like this one, or perhaps is there a better way to say it?: “On the Day of Atonement the high priest… went into the most […]


  • Psalms 23 – The Path to Eternal Life

    Psalms 23 – The Path to Eternal Life

    by

    Several months back, in one of my Bible Studies I shared my understanding of the meaning of the 23rd Psalm – that is is a Psalm of the experience of salvation from sinner to eternal life. Several have emailed me and asked for my take on this psalm, so I have summarized it here.  “The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want” God is watching out for me and I don’t need to worry about where my support will come from. He will provide all my soul needs.


  • Medical Marijuana and Psychiatric Illness – A Call to Action

    Medical Marijuana and Psychiatric Illness – A Call to Action

    by

  • School Shootings – Why All the Violence?

    School Shootings – Why All the Violence?

    by

    In the aftermath of the tragic shooting of 20 children and 6 adults, at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, in Newtown, Connecticut people are searching for answers – why? Why did this tragedy happen? Why all the shootings[i] – Columbine, Nickel Mines Village, Clackamas Town Center Mall, Virginia Tech, a movie theater in Colorado and far too many more – why?
