Looking up – A conversation with myself

How I view God.  There is a conceptual  realm real or imagined were we think the universe large. Just like Charlotte the spider could only imagine the universe  to be just larger than her barn. Or an ant cannot imagine a planetary system. Man thinks the universe is huge, but to an infinite God  it …

Questions about Wealth, Taxation,  and the Welfare  of People – Biblically

The following is an exploration into the topic expressed in the title. One I had with GROK AI and sadly, inciteful. I would much prefer conversations like this with "real" people. Still, I hope you find this conversation helpful. More and more I'm seeing that a change in someone's financial position is not an answer …

The Problem of Wealth

From a biblical perspective, the patterns of—wealth, fame, and power in S&P 500 CEOs/founders, athletes, Hollywood stars, and politicians—does not produce moral uprightness; it frequently enables and magnifies behaviors Scripture explicitly condemns as sin. The Bible does not treat riches or status as neutral or sanctifying. Instead, it warns that they are a spiritual hazard …

Gloom vs Joy

Hey friends,In a world that often feels heavy, I've been reflecting on how much "gloom" gets poured into our daily lives—especially through the news and media. Scripture warns us about spiritual forces of darkness that work to blind minds, spread despair, and keep people trapped in hopelessness (Ephesians 6:12; 2 Corinthians 4:4). While Satan and …

The Real Resistance

The Devil as Leader of a Cosmic Resistance Movement! In many theological and mythological frameworks—particularly within Abrahamic traditions like Christianity, Judaism, and Islam—the Devil (often called Satan, Lucifer, or Iblis) isn't just a chaotic evil force but can be interpreted as the originator and commander of a resistance movement against divine authority. This isn't about …

When Unbelievers Quote Scripture

Unbelievers love quoting Scripture at Christians—usually out of context, like a club to swing—precisely because they don’t believe it. If the Bible were just another ancient text, they’d ignore it. But they sense its weight, its authority, even as they reject it. It’s the same instinct that makes a child yell “I hate you!” to …

Beyond the Veil of Snowflakes

In the hush of winter's breath, where atoms dance unseen,A snowflake carves its throne from chaos—blind, pristine.No architect in the gale, yet symmetry unfolds,A river's patient blade through stone, to oceans it beholds.Predictable in fury, ordered in the storm's wild art,Nature whispers laws she did not write, etched on every heart.But halt, O seeker of …

Countering the Argument: Trump’s Strategic Foreign Policy and Accomplishments

AI Enhanced Article by Bob Graham Tom Nichols's article portrays President Trump as an "unserious" figure dismissed by global autocrats like Putin, Xi, and Kim, leading to a decline in U.S. influence. However, this view overlooks Trump's "America First" strategy, which prioritized pragmatic deal-making, economic leverage, and military deterrence over traditional diplomatic niceties. Far from …
