The direct answer is no. The six-pointed star known today as the Star of David does not appear anywhere in the Bible. It is not in Genesis or Exodus. It is not in the Psalms of David. It is not in the New Testament. No biblical writer describes it, commands it, or identifies it with … Read more
Biblical positivity is not toxic optimism. It is not pretending difficulties do not exist or manufacturing cheerfulness regardless of circumstances. It is the choice to anchor your mind and heart in what is genuinely true about God and his purposes, and then to live from that anchor rather than from the shifting surface of how … Read more
Policing is one of the most demanding callings a person can answer. Every shift carries risk, moral complexity, emotional weight, and the sustained pressure of making life-or-death decisions under public scrutiny. The Bible has more to say to police officers than most officers have ever heard. It addresses the divine sanction behind their authority, the … Read more
The Bible takes misbehavior seriously, whether it is the misbehavior of a child, an adult, or even God’s own people. It does not treat disobedience as a personality quirk to tolerate or a developmental phase to wait out.

It is not the suppression of personality. It is not the refusal to have needs, desires, or emotions. It is the … Read more
Nature is not the background to the biblical story. It is a participant in it. The heavens declare. The trees clap their hands. The mountains burst into song. The whole creation groans. These are not poetic exaggerations. They are theological statements about a natural world that was made intentionally, speaks continuously about its Maker, and … Read more
Knowledge in the Bible is not a neutral thing. It is one of the most important gifts God gives and one of the most dangerous things a person can pursue apart from God. Scripture celebrates knowledge. It commands its pursuit. It warns about its limits. And it locates its ultimate source not in human study … Read more
