"before Religion" Series

Contributed by Perry Fowler on Sep 13, 2023

Genesis 1:1. It is said that if you can get through the first verse of the Bible, you can read and believe the rest. Do you believe in God? If so, why? How do I know God exists?

One of the simplest stories in the Bible seems to be one of the hardest stories for some to believe. One of the famous men that doubted the Biblical creation story was a man named Charles Darwin, who died in April of 1882. Through Darwin’s studies he determined that man was not created by God, as ...read more

Lions, bears, and perhaps other predators were always looking for sheep so it was up to the shepherd to protect them. After Samuel had anointed him (to be the future king), David had served Saul in a number ...read more

Narrow Bed & Short Blanket

Contributed by Charles Payne on Jan 29, 2026

Isaiah describes a bed too short to stretch out on and a blanket too narrow to keep warm (Isaiah 28:20). It is God’s picture of false security—things that appear sufficient until we try to rest in them.

No Longer Hiding: From Shame To Belonging

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 20, 2026

The gospel restores belonging before behavior, covering shame with presence so hiding loses its necessity and transformation grows from safety.

Most of us think we know what the problem is. We think the problem is sin. Or disobedience. Or failure. Or a lack of discipline. Or not trying hard enough. Scripture does not ignore them. Very early in the biblical story—before commandments, before systems, before religion is fully formed—the ...read more
