It seems so capricious and uncaring that a God would allow his own son to suffer, until you get the bigger picture that God loved the sinful world so much that he sacrificed one son, for three days, to gain billions of children for a sinless eternity.
We look at all pain and suffering from the [...]
Here are 24 key theological questions that I plan to answer here as I get the time. I should probably just make a commitment to do one answer per day… We’ll have to see! Follow my progress by clicking on the category link -> 24 Theological Questions
What is Scripture’s major theme and purpose? How [...]
Get physically fit in just 20 minutes a day? Well, get spiritually fit in only SEVEN!
In the living room of my in-laws’ home I watched an episode of Law and Order that I haven’t seen before, and it bothered me quite a bit.
The victim was a young man who had tried unsuccessfully to “recover” from homosexuality through the counseling and support of a religious group called Regenesis. One of the [...]
As I have spoken with people about the Bible, I find more and more that people aren’t really familiar with the “plot” or the overall story of the Bible. Therefore, I’m going to try to go through the entire story of the Bible in a very brief overview fashion. The challenge is that I don’t [...]
I believe in God because the universe needs a creator.
The first reason I have for my own belief in God is that the universe needs a creator.
WARNING: I have a degree in philosophy and some of the concepts I use for my belief in God require the use of some technical terms. Here’s a quick [...]
In the church I pastor, ReCOMMITMENT is something we do once a year in terms of church services, but it certainly shouldn’t be so in terms of our spiritual lives. The Bible is clear that the spiritual life is not one that can be lived on the basis of one commitment made many years in [...]
Every year at this time, I begin to think critically about the resurrection of Jesus. Yeah, you heard me right. I said, “critically“. Just because I’m a pastor, that doesn’t mean I accept everything in the Bible without thinking about it too. I’m a thinker, I majored in mathematics and philosophy at Wheaton College, and [...]
This last Sunday, a lady in my church gave me a blue card with some questions on it regarding tithing. Since my email to her was rather long-winded, I thought I would share some of those thoughts here.
Deuteronomy 26:2-15 Verse 2 says to take “some” of the firstfruits. [...]
What’s wrong with premarital sex?
One of the questions I get a lot is the question about sexual morality as it relates to the Bible, and it’s one I have thought a lot about as well considering that I do quite a bit of marital counseling and also considering that I’m a guy and I think [...]

I WANT TO THANK JEFF FOR WRITING HIS REVIEW ON HOW HE WAS TREATED 4 years ago. Sounds like you have saved alot of people from losing their hard earned money here's my little story in a nut shell. First part has nothing to do with ASHLEY Yet. My husband and I recently got burnt on a purchase of a van. Bought it from a local person who has it for sale. We had it 10 weeks and transmission went out 250 miles away from home while on vacation. We found a local car dealership nearby that quoted a price of $1650 for new transmission. so we got a rental car finished our vacation and headed home. 6 weeks later we met the repair man halfway and picked up our van. It ran fine the 100 miles home. I drove it for 3 days putting only 500 miles on it and transmission goes out AGAIN. Called repair shop and guess what....... They have closed their bussiness. Meanwhile our other vehicle had a cracked head and leaking externally from the head. $1200 later it still not running properly . The guy who fixed it tried to commit suicide 4 days after giving us our van back. We now have spent nearly $3000 and still no vehicles to drive. SO NOW IM DRIVING MY MOMS EXTRA CAR AND HES DRIVING HIS PARENTS EXTRA CAR. So we now have decided to start checking reviews on items were interested in buying or checking the BBB, which leads me to my point.....I. found some very pretty living room funiture we liked and was checking reviews. So glad we decided to start checking saved us from losing more money now . Thanks again to all those who wrote in to tell abt their problems
I loved reading this entire debate. This really goes to show how often all Christians are lumped together in people's opinions. People like to believe that all Christians are hateful and judgmental, but while homosexuals,homosexual advocates, or non-believers are accusing Christians of these things they are themselves guilty of the same. The reason why I came to this page in the first place is because I have a friend who is gay and we've been debating back in forth on the gay rights agenda and whether or not being a homosexual is a sin, and he told me to watch the movie that your original post was about. I suppose he wants me to watch it so I can see that you can be a Christian and a homosexual at the same time. I guess I need to see it for myself so I can form my own opinion, but I really appreciate you taking the time to give your opinion and then to defend it to someone who decided to make it very personal against you. I very much admire your level head throughout in the face of such animosity.
Jeff,
I like your blog and the section that describes your beliefs
I like that and do share the same beliefs.
I used to be in a Church that denied Christ's Diety and I finally
broke away from that CULT, problem is my wife is still a hardcore
member of that particuliar Church.
Wishing you the Best
yours in Christ
