God - The Big Perspective



“in the beginning, God…” (Genesis 1:1, NIV)



God is The singular reality. God alone began and sustains all existence.


He is forever the great “I am.” He is all of history’s “unmoved mover.”

Any understanding of reality not rooted in our personal Creator is fundamentally in error. Trusting in one’s own mental reasoning and the reliability of sensing and understanding the outside world necessarily assumes a reliable and rational Creator. In short, in order to trust in and use our very minds, we must believe in and trust in our Creator and therefore acknowledge our place as created beings.

 The source of truth and of life does not begin with us or with any of our predecessors. Just as the daylight for which we daily depend radiates from the sun, so does life and truth radiate from God, its singular source. The only means for vision is light. The only means for understanding reality is God’s very revelation to us in His Word. Any other source of illumination is fundamentally flawed and unreliable. The Psalmist proclaims: “For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.” (Psalm 36:9, NIV).

The Keywi Goes to Costa Rica

     Years before launching the Keywi project , I traveled to Costa Rica with my church for a short-term mission trip.  I had just finished graduate school and I was anxious to be out of the classroom and immersed in an overseas adventure! Nevertheless, despite the change of scenery and long-distance location, my studious habits still traveled with me. In preparation for the trip I  made up a ring-bound set of flashcards with Bible verses in Spanish. I wanted to have some familiarity with God’s word in the Costa Rican native tongue.  All my years in Spanish classes had focused on practical things like where to find the bathroom or directions to a hospital... but if someone were to ask me about Jesus or to pray for them, I wanted to be prepared for that too!  One of the girls at the school who  helped us paint during our mission trip While on the trip, we had a blast visiting orphans, painting churches and schools, and hosting an...

April - May Prayer Letter 2014

Dear friends and family, I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend.  Praise God, Jesus is risen indeed!   I just wanted to share a few updates and  prayer  requests for the  Keywi  Card project: Please  pray  for the t rade show in Atlanta, Georgia! This June 22-25,  Keywi  Cards will be exhibiting at the International Christian Retail Show in Atlanta, Georgia ( http://christianretailshow. com/ ).   Nearly every major Christian bookstore retailer and distributor will be there along with many well-know Christian authors and speakers.  A s you can imagine, preparations for this show are quite extensive and I have often felt stressed and overwhelmed over the last few weeks.   I could really use  prayer  for balance, guidance, wisdom, and time management.   There are so many things that still need to be accomplished in a short period of time.  I'm making a catalog, designing hang tags and UPC ...

Tips for Memorization using Keywis

Take your Keywi cards wherever you go to make best use of your spare moments! Back to:  Memorization WHERE: Keywi™ cards are meant to help keep your memory verses always on hand. Most people find keeping them on their keys the best way to always have their verses with them. For others, keeping them strapped to a purse, backpack, belt loop, or water bottle, might be the best strategy. WHEN: Once you’ve decided where to attach your keywi TM  cards, look for spare moments throughout your day to read through, recite, review, and repeat the flashcards. Some common opportunities to do this include waiting in a check-out line, pumping gas, waiting for a meeting to begin, in the midst of a traffic jam, at lunchtime, during a break, or while taking a walk. WHAT: Choose a pack of flashcards that best suits your current need or get a pack of blank cards to customize the verses you want to memorize. It is important to strive for 100% accuracy when you memorize. Not only wi...
