Fearfully and Wonderfully Made (Part 2): The Value of Human Life in a Culture That Has Forgotten God
David’s words in Psalm 139 offer one of the most beautiful and intimate pictures in Scripture: “Thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb… I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”—Psalm 139:13–14 In Part 1 , we explored God’s craftsmanship in the womb and His intentional design of every human being. In Part 2 , we turn to a tragic reality: not everyone sees life this way. How has our culture drifted so far from the biblical view of human worth? Why do millions treat the unborn as

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made: Rediscovering God’s Design for Human Life
Few questions weigh more heavily on the human heart than this: Where did we come from? Are we the result of a cosmic accident—an unintended outcome of random processes? Or are we the intentional creation of a loving God? David knew the answer. Writing under inspiration, he declared: “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”—Psalm 139:14 The psalmist pulls back the curtain on the miracle of human life—a truth modern science is only beginning to glimpse.

From Eden to Calvary: How the First Promise Leads to the Final Victory
When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the consequences were devastating. Paradise was lost. Suffering entered the world. Death became a tragic reality. Yet even in that moment of judgment, God spoke a promise that would echo through all of Scripture—a promise that would lead humanity from Eden… to Calvary. In Genesis 3:14–19, God pronounced judgment on the serpent, the woman, and the man. But embedded in His words was the first prophecy of a Redeemer—the One who wou

Lessons from Eden: Timeless Truths from Humanity’s First Home
When the apostle Paul wrote, “Now all these things happened unto them for examples…” (1 Cor. 10:11), he reminded us that the Old Testament was written not only as history, but as instruction. Though we live under the New Covenant today, the stories preserved in Genesis still carry wisdom for every generation. One of the most significant of these is the account of Adam and Eve. Eden is more than an ancient garden—it is a classroom where God teaches us about sin, influence, ho

The Eden Experience: What Really Happened in the Garden—And What It Means for Us Today
Few biblical events shape our understanding of humanity, sin, morality, and salvation more than the account of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. What took place in Eden is not a distant, symbolic tale—it is the blueprint for the human story. Every major doctrine intersects with what happened in those early moments of creation. This post explores The Eden Experience —what Adam and Eve experienced, how sin entered the world, and how their story mirrors our own. Created in the

Made in the Image of God
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...” — Genesis 1:26–27 The Crown of Creation On the sixth day, after forming every creature by His word, God paused. A divine conversation took place within the Godhead—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit deliberated over a creation unlike any other. The heavens declare God’s glory, and the earth shows His handiwork, but mankind alone bears His image. Humanity was not spoken into existence with the rest of creation;

Romans 12:1–2 — “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.” A Biblical Worldview in a Secular World Christians are called to see the world differently — to let our minds be renewed and tra

The True Descent of Man
Genesis 5:1–3 — “This is the book of the generations of Adam.

And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth.” A Tale of Two Origins In 1859, Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species , laying out his theory that

The Origin and Mission of Satan — Understanding Our Greatest Adversary
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth… for he is a liar, and the father of it.” — John 8:44 The Reality of the Adversary The Devil is not a myth, a metaphor, or a mere figure of speech. He is real, personal, and powerful. Jesus Himself declared that Satan was “a murderer from the beginning,” utterly devoid of truth. Yet, despite the clarity of Scripture, the world increasing

Creation and the Age of the Earth — Trusting the Word Over the World

Whose word will we believe: God’s or man’s? The Bible clearly teaches that God created the heavens and the earth “in the beginning.” Yet everywhere we turn, we’re told the Earth is billions of years old. Th

A Biblical Worldview — Seeing the World Through God’s Eyes
“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 2:5 The Lens That Shapes Everything Every person has a worldview—a way of interpreting life, truth, and reality. It’s the foundation beneath every choice we make, every opinion we form, and every belief we hold. For Christians, the question is simple yet profound: Is our worldview biblical or secular? Jesus said, “He that is not with me is against me” (Matthew 12:30). There is no neutral ground. Our v

Patience — The Key to Preventing Spiritual Burnout

It’s hard to believe that no matter what a person has done, God is willing to forgive. Some people struggle with this, not because they doubt God’s power, but because they cannot

Loving Your Enemy Means Giving God Control
“If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.” — Romans 12:18 Winning the Peace, Not the War When conflict arises, our natural desire is to win . We want to prove we’re right, receive an apology, or expose the other person’s fault. Yet the Apostle Paul challenges us to seek something higher — peace . The goal isn’t simply to silence the enemy, but to destroy the evil that divides us. Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be call
