The Church

No Ancient or Modern Deity Ever Asked For This: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind.”

Faithfulness Okom on X What Matthew 22:37 doesn’t say weighs heavier than what it does.“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind.” No ancient deity asked for this. The pantheons of old wanted tribute, fear, appeasement, and blood on the altar. They asked not to be angered. But this God, YHWH,

When James calls God the “Father of lights,” in James 1:17 He Dismantles the Modern Debate on God and Science.

Faithfulness Okom, Aug 23, 2026 It hit me on my evening walk that when James calls God the “Father of lights,” in James 1:17, he executes a theological move that completely overshoots the modern debate on God and science.

The Shock Felt From Reading Genesis Is Completely Normal

Faithfulness Okom on X The shock you are feeling reading Genesis is completely normal, but it points to the most important rule of reading Scripture: the Bible is brutally descriptive, not automatically prescriptive.

The Spiritual Disarming of the Church and Christians

“What is happening in Spain is, in part, a consequence of the apostasy of many Spaniards.

Faithfulness Okom on X. Lawyer by Training. Theologian By Calling Today in church, a verse I thought I knew: 1 Thessalonians 5:17, finally landed with total clarity.

No one comes to the Father but through Me” (John 14:6).

Jeremiah Knight on X When Christ said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life,” He was not offering one spiritual option among many. He was shutting every false door and declaring that no sinner reaches the Father except through Him. “No one comes to the Father but through Me” (John 14:6). That
