Defending the Trinity: Old Testament
So, while it is true the term itself does not appear in the Bible, the concept does. Here are some examples in the Old Testament. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of […]

Defending the Trinity: Historical Background
By now, you may be thinking “You made some good points, but how do I really know the Trinity is true and not just something Christians made up? How can God be three and one at the same time? Do Christians believe in three gods? The ‘Trinity’ never appears in Scripture; how vital can it […]

The Trinity: Relations & Actions
It is only natural at this point to try and think of illustrations or analogies to try and describe the Trinity, as the three states of H2O. However, no analogy can perfectly portray the Trinity.

Over the next six series of posts, I am going to explore and unpack the doctrine of the Trinity.

The colonial era of American history was a far more biblically sophisticated and knowledgeable world than ours today. While several did not hold Christian faith, they were formed and existed within its value system. The colonial-era birthed the national tenet of “God Bless America”, moments of silence, and “In God We Trust”. Yet our era […]

Martin Luther: Passion, Abilities, and Circumstances
I chose to write about Martin Luther for this blog because he was successful, due to his passion, abilities to execute and the circumstances he was granted to make it possible for his passion to come to fruition. This spells a person who made an impact on this world. Passion Martin Luther was born of […]

The Quest for A Life That Is Spiritual
The story of the quest for a life that is spiritual begins when mankind is created by God. “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness’…So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” (Genesis 1:26-27, ESV) […]

Over the summer, I was challenged to engage in a daily spiritual discipline for two consecutive weeks, keeping a personal journal of the process. I chose the spiritual discipline of journaling at least one prayer every day for two weeks. Journaling my prayers is something I have always wanted to do consistently. I have done […]
