These articles dig deeper, challenge presuppositions, and seek to understand God’s underlying purpose, methods, and goals. The Holy Spirit will be our primary guide into this more unfiltered view of Scripture.

Lazarus & the Rich Man – He Who has Ears to Hear
It was common for Jesus to teach those around him in parables. Obviously the meaning behind the parables was not clear. Sometimes these parables were followed by the mysterious saying, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” Yet, when he was alone with his disciples, they regularly asked the meaning of his parables.…
Reflections on the New Creation and the Cross
In the cross we see an act that appears as significant as the creation itself. Yet, if we look at the cross through man’s eyes only, we’re left with an incomplete picture.

Is There a Third Temple to be Built in Jerusalem?
This discussion focuses on looking at the underlying purpose for the destruction of the first two temples; it’s derived from God’s correction upon Judah for their failure to keep their covenant with him.
