Studies on the Fringe of Christianity
What is time? I like one author’s description who said the word “time” itself is so versatile that “we can kill time, do time, save it and spend it. Time even takes on a medicinal role when it comes to healing both physical and emotional wounds. Most of us wish we had more of it, …
A common question I’ve often been asked is, “Can you explain the Trinity to me?” My answer then — as it is now — was: “I’ve read in great depth about that concept, but I don’t personally believe in the Trinity doctrine of God as three distinct persons sharing one nature.” In my study of …
For a moment, let us speculate about something on the fringe of biblical knowledge. Unlike other animals, God Almighty gave humans a brain with the unique ability to construct logical possibilities, so let’s do that. Since it is good to expand our opinions and think ‘outside the box’ once in a while, we will call …
After Moses’ death, God chose Joshua to lead his people into the Promised Land of Canaan, and Jericho was the first city conquered by Israel after crossing the Jordan River. It is just north of the Dead Sea and five miles west of the river. Being a natural desert oasis, it is sometimes called the …

So all through my life I studied science and feel what I’ve learned has given me a better and closer relationship with my heavenly Father. In a book titled …

In this essay, we discover some awesome facts about the human heart as well as our DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).1 The Bible tells us …
Science Reveals God’s Majesty Series I remembered hearing, on the news some time back, of someone having experienced apprehension when arriving at the airport to board a plane and decided not to travel.
