The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: How to Become an Atheist: "If you are thinking of becoming an atheist, beware. The first step is easy, but it’s not so easy to walk the walk. You will have to ignore design when you can see it everywhere: in the universe, the atoms, the birds and the bees, the clouds and trees, the seasons, the human body, fish, flowers, fruits, feet, and even fungus."

Why should we study the Old Testament?

Why should we study the Old Testament?: "The Bible is a progressive revelation. If you skip the first half of any good book and try to finish it; you will have a hard time understanding the characters, the plot, and the ending. In the same way, the New Testament is only completely understood when it is seen as being built upon the foundation of the events, characters, laws, sacrificial system, covenants, and promises of the Old Testament."

Why did God give us four Gospels?

Why did God give us four Gospels?: ") To give a more complete picture of Christ. While the entire Bible is inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16), He used human authors with different backgrounds and personalities to accomplish His purposes through their writing. Each of the gospel authors had a distinct purpose behind his gospel and in carrying out those purposes, each emphasized different aspects of the person and ministry of Jesus Christ."

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: How to Overcome Lust

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: How to Overcome Lust: "The Bible says "He that gets wisdom loves his own soul" and that God "stores up sound wisdom for the upright." When Solomon prayed for wisdom, God was so pleased He gave him wisdom, riches, and long life. James says that if anyone lacks wisdom they should ask God, who gives it "liberally." Those who have wisdom think right, say right, and always do that which is right. So we should seek wisdom with importunity."
