The Macro and Micro Plan: Free Will vs Predestination
There is a Macro Plan and a Micro Plan and both work together as one: The Macro Plan is the overarching world-wide plan of God which includes things like nations fighting nations, kingdoms, spiritual warfare, weather disasters, armies, domination of one religion over the other, etc. Events of the Macro Plan not only have been prophesied in the Bible but…
The Church and God’s Will: G2M or MITM?
Historical Truth 1 – Old Testament G2M A good while back the Israelites had neither kings, nor judges. This was God’s will. He set it up this way.

Flat Earth: Why I Started Down This Path
(Audio Version at the bottom if you no like reading) “I am a scientist and if I can’t back up a scientific fact with scripture, I question it’s validity” – Caroline Leaf That quote just about sums it up.

What Equity Should a Child of God Focus On?
Someone I know shared this text message conversation about a business decision really got me thinking: Person A: What do you have to give up to get their $ ? Person B: I don’t care what I have to give up as long as I get a small piece of a much larger pie. I’ve learned success is largely about…
