re We Worthy in God’s Eyes?
The question of belonging weighs heavy on Christians. Too often, we feel unworthy to sit at God’s table. Yet Scripture insists otherwise: salvation is not a fragile hope but a confident assurance.

What if you have been carrying needless guilt?
What if you have been doubting when God has already spoken?
What if the problem is not entitlement but a quiet despair that keeps you from joy?

In this article:

• The two errors God’s people must guard against

• Why the fear of unworthiness is more widespread than entitlement

• How the promise of eternal life gives us certainty, not doubt

Once saved… SAVED.

Read the full article and see why belonging is not in question for the faithful.

Is Jesus Coming to Reign in Jerusalem? God Says, No
Why Dispensational Premillennialism Collapses Under the Weight of Scripture

Many believe Jesus will one day return to reign on David’s throne in Jerusalem—but what if that entire framework rests on two flawed assumptions?

📌 The land promise to Israel was already fulfilled.
📌 The kingdom of God has already come.
📌 The throne of David is not in Jerusalem.
📌 And the curse of Coniah still stands.

This premium article examines Joshua’s parallelism, Jeremiah’s prophecy, and apostolic testimony—all laid out in clear, propositional logic. It's rigorous, airtight, and packed with scriptural support.

The Coward and the Hero: What Truly Sets Them Apart
They both feel the same fear—but only one acts in faith.

What if the difference between failure and victory was not fear, but your response to it?
What if courage was not natural boldness, but spiritual obedience?

🔹 Why the coward and the hero stand in the same place
🔹 How Numbers 13–14 defines the grasshopper mindset
🔹 What real faith looks like when giants are in the land

The issue is not emotion—it is direction. Faith acts. Cowardice freezes.
If you stand with God, the giants are bread.

🔍 Who Is the Word in John’s Gospel? Unveiling the True Identity of Jesus

John’s introduction does not just set the stage for the life of Jesus; it confronts every reader with the question of identity and truth. Many treat John’s words as philosophical abstractions or distant poetry, but the narrative compels us to face the reality: the Word was made flesh.

What if every doctrine and moral imperative in Christianity must flow from the narrative itself? What happens when we stop abstracting and let the inspired sequence of John’s account drive our understanding? How do we answer challenges to Christ’s deity or claims that the Word is mere principle, not a person?

• Trace the progression from “the Word” to “Jesus Christ,” and see how the logic of John’s text leaves no room for doubt • Learn how the Gospel’s historical structure grounds every truth claim and “ought” for Christian life • Equip yourself to answer denials and evasions with the power of the inspired text

The text does not hide the identity of Jesus in symbolism or ambiguity. John proclaims it for every honest reader to see. Do not settle for half-measures or evasive answers—let the Word speak with final authority.

The Word Was Made Flesh

12/06/2025

Who or what was Jesus while on earth? Who is He now? The answer becomes clear by honestly answering these five questions:

Who was "the Word" in the beginning with God and identified as God?

Who or what was "made flesh and dwelt among us" in John 1:14?

Who brought grace and truth according to John 1:17?

Who currently sits at the right hand of God following the ascension?

Is the entity currently in heaven Jesus, the Word, or a different entity?

Join Tony Bruin in this compelling episode of Cogitations as he tackles the phrase “I was born this way” with a bold biblical response: “Then be born agai

🔥 Born This Way? Then Be Born Again! 🔥

Some say, “I was born this way.” The gospel answers, “Then be born again.”
Modern culture insists that self-acceptance is the highest virtue. Christ demands real change.

What if your instincts aren’t destiny?
What if transformation, not affirmation, is God’s standard?
What if every excuse collapses when you stand before the Lord?

The gospel does not excuse any identity or impulse—it calls every person to new birth.
No one escapes the call to real change, regardless of how they were born.
The conversation only ends at the judgment seat of God.
Don’t settle for cultural slogans. Rise above your instincts. Embrace the transformation Christ offers.
