Ask Michael: Why Don't You Believe Life Evolved From Lower Animals?
As we kick off this new series, we start with a question that Michael is often asked, seeing as how he is a biologist. Darwinian Evolution tends to be pushed heavily in the field of biology, so a lot of people find it astonishing that Michael does not. In this episode, Michael shares how he was a Darwinian Evolutionist, but how, after studying biology, he deemed it illogical. For example, when one looks at the complexity of cells and how they all have a specific purpose, how can they think it evolved by random chance? Creation is so intricately...

The Gospel of John Lesson 29: I Who Speaks to You Am He
Continuing with His conversation with the Samaritan woman, Jesus makes a profound statement, “I who speak to you am He.” With this statement, Jesus is also making an undisputable claim that He is indeed the Son of God. We also are reminded of Jesus’ ultimate sovereignty as He demonstrates His supernatural control over time. Verse 27 is a great reminder for us that God is over all, even time. Too often, we think of God as not being on our time schedule, but really, we are just too impatient to wait for results. We need to remember to seek God’s will i...

Devotions by the Sea: A Night at the Seashore
A quiet night at the seashore offers a sacred pause, where the sound of the waves draws hearts into prayer and thanksgiving for time spent in God’s creation. Even in the beauty, there is a longing to stay and a quiet fear of what lies ahead. Yet as the night fades and it is time to leave, God’s gentle promises remain: “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5) and “I am with you always, to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). Though the shore is left behind, His presence goes forward, bringing peace, comfort, and courage for...

Building on this powerful encounter, Part 2 dives deeper into what it truly means to live a life marked by worship in spirit and in truth.

Artifact Facts: The Scroll Keeper - Baruch and the Words of Jeremiah
In the 1970s, two identical clay seal impressions appeared on the antiquities market, both reading: “Belonging to Berechiahu, son of Neriah, the Scribe”—or in modern terms, Baruch. According to the Bible, Baruch was the scribe and companion of the prophet Jeremiah, faithfully writing down his words.

Devotions by the Sea: Take a Breath
There’s something deeply healing about the beach—the steady rhythm of the waves, the fresh air, the way a weary spirit feels lighter just by being there. In the Bahamas, there’s a saying: “If you feel run down, go to the beach,” and again and again, it brings renewal. Science tells us the ocean air is rich with oxygen and negative ions that can help the body and lift the mood, but there’s something more at work. It’s a gentle reminder that God designed this world to restore. So wherever you are, take a slow, deep breath an...

Discovered by accident in November 1990 just south of Jerusalem’s Old City, the Caiaphas Ossuary is one of the most significant finds from the New Testament era. When construction workers uncovered a 1st-century tomb in the Jerusalem Peace Forest, archaeologist Zvi Greenhut found several limestone ossuaries inside—one bearing the name “Caiaphas.” Many scholars have explored a possible connection to the high priest mentioned in the Gospels, making this artifact an intriguing link between archaeology and Scripture.

Devotions by the Sea: Paradise Found
The beauty and peace of a beach or tropical escape often feel like paradise, and leaving it behind can stir a deep longing to stay. That desire reflects something greater—humanity was created to live in perfect communion with God. Though sin has separated us from that reality, it has not erased the longing for it. Jesus revealed that true paradise is found in His presence, promising the repentant thief that he would be with Him in paradise. For those who belong to Christ, this world is not home—heaven is the place where that longing will one day be f...

While Eliakim is not widely known today, he played an important role in Judah’s history during the time of the Assyrian threat. The bulla was discovered in a context associated with Sennacherib, whose campaign against Judah is recorded in the Bible, helping us identify which Eliakim it refers to.

Devotions by the Sea: Son Shine on the Beach
There’s something peaceful about the beach in the morning as the sun rises and its light slowly fills the water and shore. Yet many times we rush into the day without spending time with Jesus. Our schedules fill up, our goals take priority, and before long something feels missing. Psalm 143:8 says, “Each morning let me learn more about your love because I trust you. I come to you in prayer, asking for your guidance.” When we begin our day with Jesus—learning more about His love and seeking His guidance—it changes how we walk through the rest of the day...
