Truth is truth, no matter who speaks it. Early in His ministry, Jesus faced intense opposition—not because what He said was false, but because the people could not accept that someone they looked down on could speak such profound truth. They had no real argument against His teachings; His background…
Dichotomies Demarcate the Principles of Existence
The advent of social media is one of the greatest gifts of our time. Those who criticize it are often the same people who thrive on limiting access to information. Ironically, while criminals use social media to spread falsehoods, they also resent its role in making truthful information more accessible.…
The Real Threat Comes from Marauding False Prophets
Christianity is about restoring humanity to the original state intended by God at creation. This is an enormous challenge that’s unlikely to appeal to a world on a misguided path.

Is it possible for any person to teach another how to love?
Love can be understood as a way of describing God. You cannot simply tell people to love if God has no place in their thinking. The Ten Commandments were, at heart, a code of love, given to draw the Israelites closer to the divine. Had they kept those commands in…
