He could have created us as peers, with all His knowledge and wisdom, so we could relate to Him perfectly. But even such created beings would still be inferior because they would not be gods. #
How can the created be greater than the Creator? How can the created even stand on the same level as the [...]
Why do we tend to focus more on the fact that others often hurt us with their words, however unintentionally, rather than on our own response to those people? How is that we forget that we are not responsible for how others interact with us but rather we hold full responsibility for how we react [...]
I’ll be honest – I’m not entirely sure how I feel about tattoos at this point in my life. I don’t necessarily view them as the great, evil things that a lot of Christians do, though I do understand the why of their disdain.

Some days are better than others. I had good intentions to write something witty and prosaic today. I even had a couple of interesting topics. But as I find myself learning my job, I also find that those moments when I am between projects or when I am waiting for queries to run are fewer [...]
Let us not, therefore, be insensible to His kindness. For, were Jesus to reward us according to our works, we should cease to be. Therefore, having become His disciples, let us learn to live according to the principles of Christianity. For whosoever is called by any other name beside this, is not of God. Lay [...]
I could have sworn I’d written previously about the uniqueness of Christianity from all other religious faiths, yet when I searched my archives to find it, I was unable to do so. Apparently it was something I’d intended to write about and never did. Allow me to rectify that situation now.
