Where Is Your Citizenship?
Do you identify yourself as an American, Canadian, Australian, South African, or as some other nationality? I was raised to be a proud American—to wave the flag, to celebrate Independence Day, and to revel in the storied history of my nation.

Critical Thinking and a Confused Society
Every day, I am amazed at how often contradictory and conflated ideas are presented that go unchallenged in our society. For instance, how a clear truth can be twisted into a lie
-
Demon or Holy Spirit Possession?
As I have traveled around the world, one of the questions I am often asked is about demon possession. “What is demon possession?” and “What can I do about it?” are some of the frequent questions I receive, whether I’m in a nation known for its superstition or in a secular-dominated country.

The Journey of Life: The Roads We Travel — Part 1

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.
