Lewis believed stories could “steal past watchful dragons” — bypassing the defences that block religious truth. Instead of preaching, a tale quietly awakens longing, courage, sacrifice, and grace. In this way, the gospel is not argued but smuggled in, entering the heart before the mind has time to resist.

This piece explores the Bible’s cosmic storyline, showing how Jesus defeats the spiritual powers behind the nations and restores humanity’s calling to rule with God. Drawing on Psalm 68, Ephesians 4, and Paul’s claim that believers will “judge angels,” it reveals the church as the living sign of Christ’s victory and kingdom reign.

Ephesians 4:8–10 proclaims Christ’s cosmic victory. Drawing on Psalm 68 and Michael Heiser’s insights, this piece explores Jesus as the Divine Warrior who defeats hostile spiritual powers, ascends in triumph, and distributes the spoils of victory to the church as gifts for its life and mission.

Many Christians assume that when we die, we go straight to heaven or hell. But the Bible presents a more layered story. Reconceptualising Heaven and Hell in light of the Bible's teaching and Jesus' resurrection from the dead.

At first glance, this passage might appear to condone brutality toward slaves, but a closer examination reveals it as a regulatory measure in a harsh ancient world, not an endorsement of violence. This law marked a significant departure from prevailing norms in the ancient Near East, where masters often enjoyed total impunity for harming or killing slaves.

Leviticus 25:44–46 is widely misunderstood because it is read through a modern, flat, and literal lens rather than within its ancient historical, social, and theological context. Critics often assume that the passage straightforwardly endorses slavery as a moral good. The post contends that this assumption collapses once the text is read in its historical context, in particular, as law meant to regulate an already-existing institution.

The greatest moral advance Christianity introduced is this: that every human being has equal, inviolable moral worth grounded in what they are, not in what they do, contribute, or survive.

Genesis 5 is often dismissed as a list of names and lifespans—or claimed to hide a secret gospel code. This article corrects popular misunderstandings while showing why the genealogy truly matters. Drawing on Hebrew, Jewish tradition, and respected biblical scholarship, it argues that Genesis 5 does not encode the gospel in letters, but prepares it through a powerful narrative of death, divine patience, judgment, and hope—ultimately fulfilled in Christ.

Part 2 asks whether Ivan Panin’s numerical theory could be rescued by more “charitable” ways of counting the Greek text. Proposals such as treating “Jesus Christ” as a single name, grouping repeated words, ignoring small grammatical particles, or counting sounds instead of letters. By examining these options directly in the Greek text, the article explains why these adjustments introduce too much flexibility to function as evidence, and why scholars are unconvinced by Panin’s

This post examines Ivan Panin’s claim that Matthew 1 contains a hidden mathematical structure built around the number seven, an idea widely shared through Chuck Missler’s teaching. Appreciating Missler's teaching, the article carefully reconstructs Panin’s argument and then tests it against the Greek text of Matthew as preserved in modern critical editions. By recounting the actual word, letter, and grammatical counts, it shows why the numerical patterns do not hold under con

From 70 to 2 million in 300 years? A 2% growth per generation through outsiders makes the Bible’s numbers surprisingly realistic.

A short story based on a dream I had. I wrote it out as an exercise in writing, and published it myself as a small zine in 2005. Yes, the title does bare a resemblance to Augustine's classic work "A Tale of two Cities" for a reason. The allegory of the gospel isn't perfect, but it's worth thinking over.

I shall recount for you my (explosive) memories of the Parthenon in Athens. 

I don't usually write horror short stories. But this writing exercise that came up for a Year 10 class I was relief-teaching for came up and intrigued me. What makes a good horror is you take something thats meant to be safe, comfortable and ordinary, and then you flip it on its head so it becomes the opposite. A day at the beach in the shallow water? No, there's a giant and hungry shark on the loose. A time to relax in your new house, going to sleep in your comfortable, warm

Richard Rohr’s twofold personal justification for adopting the practice of the Enneagram is exposed and evaluated.

Can Christians use the Enneagram in a Christianised manner? Can we separate the practice of it from its theological and philosophical roots? Can the Enneagram be redeemed?
