Healing Hereafter

Yep, there I am...well, my toes anyway. And yep, there's T-rex chomping at my poor digits with all the ferocity and determination of a 4-year-old. I'm not gonna lie, rubber T-rex bites can still be painful, but much less so when you're ready for them. But that's nothing compared to when my son...

For some, there's nothing more terrifying than the phrase "free will versus predestination." See, I already lost some of you. Whether it brings folks back to a sharp disagreement, to a religion course that significantly lowered their GPA, or to the point when their beliefs started becoming a lot...

Chances are you've heard them, or maybe you've even asked them. The sometimes silly and sometimes serious questions about God like, "Can he make a burrito so hot he can't eat it?" or "If he can do everything, how come he can't sin?" Often these inquiries concern the sovereignty of God and how...

This question is a BIG DEAL. Why? Well, at least hundreds of millions of people died before Jesus had even provided the Christian means to salvation. Billions of people have died since then with no meaningful way to access or understand Jesus' solution even when it had been accomplished. And...

It's astonishing how prevalent the belief is that we live, die, and then go to heaven or hell, because it really has little to no support from the Bible. And yet I believed this for many years myself! Perhaps it's simple, and that's why it's common, or perhaps some understandably look forward so...

Judgment Day. Whether this conjures up images of a massive courtroom, harps and fire, or Ahnold saying "Hasta la vista, baby" to a morphing metal T-1000, the concept carries with it an ominous tone of finality. Ironically enough, virtually every Christian interpretation of Judgment Day involves...

     FINALLY! Your book looks good-dang, it even smells good-and you've launched your publication! You have your social circle informed, and every outlet in your sphere of influence is optimized for success. But...unless you're Veronica Roth, a rock star, or a Hollywood household name, your sphere...

The last chapter of Healing Hereafter I posted about concerned three people in the Bible who seemed to have been taken to heaven at some point while they were still alive. We discovered that none of these examples provided evidence that humans go there immediately after dying, and we can even...

No no no, not living and learning, although that's also a good idea. Living in learning! What do I mean? Well, there are those who compartmentalize education and the fun parts of life...they study (maybe) and then they have fun. Then there are those who have fun studying, and no, not in a...

Some authors simply love to write for expression, and seeing the finished product is the primary goal, rather than getting it into the hands of as many as possible. Others write to put food on the table, so for them—regardless of how much they are passionate about the project—the main motive is to...
