The Ten Commandments are not merely a set of ancient rules; they represent foundational principles that guide our relationship with God and one another. Each commandment carries profound significance, speaking to the essence of our faith and the moral fabric of society. In this book, we will explore each commandment in-depth, examining how they are traditionally taught, and in the style of Jesus' Sermon on the Mound, we will look at the “you have heard it said” tradition and then present the Biblical revelations of the Commandment. Addressing historical context, original language usage and translation, theological implications, and practical applications in our lives today.

Throughout this journey, we will reflect on how these commandments intertwine with the teachings of Jesus and the New Testament, revealing a continuous process of sanctification, beginning with the tablets of stone and culminating with the Holy Spirit. From the call to exclusive devotion to God to the admonition against coveting, the process of sanctification challenges us to align our hearts and actions with God’s will.

As we study these commandments and their relevance in modern life, I will offer insights into how we can live out these truths in our daily interactions . Ultimately, this exploration aims to deepen our understanding of God’s desires for us, fostering a spirit of reverence, integrity, and love in our hearts.

Join me as we delve into the deeper wisdom of the Ten Commandments, uncovering their timeless truths and discovering how they can transform our lives.

When the Ground Shakes is a seven-day devotional written for real life when faith feels fragile. Each day is a 10–15 minute reading designed to linger with you throughout the day, blending Scripture, personal reflection, and practical application.

This isn’t a collection of shallow feel-good slogans or a checklist of spiritual duties. It’s a guide to cultivating faith that holds when the ground beneath you gives way. You’ll discover what it means to trust God in the small things, pray when words won’t come, feed on Scripture instead of just reading it, and worship beyond Sunday mornings. You’ll be challenged to choose community over convenience, discern truth from tradition, and walk with integrity, being the same person in private that you are in public.

Each devotional is narrative in style, rooted in the NASB 1995 translation of Scripture, and written with the conviction that Christianity is not about convenience but about commitment. The stories are honest, the prayers heartfelt, and the applications grounded in everyday life, because faith has to work not only in church pews but also in workplaces, hospitals, kitchens, and late-night wrestling with God.

When the Ground Shakes calls believers back to a biblical foundation: Christ Himself. Whether you’re walking through loss, doubt, or simply the weariness of daily life, these pages will help you anchor your heart in the Rock that cannot be moved.

Come Now, Let Us Reason Together explores the relationship between knowledge and faith, logic and love, intellect and trust. It begins with the simple truth that you can believe in your head before you feel it in your heart. As you grow in the knowledge of God, your understanding deepens and your faith matures. Along the way you will face new questions, yet each one becomes an opportunity to grow closer to the truth rather than drift away from it.

For the skeptic, this book offers a safe place to explore faith without manipulation or pressure. For the believer who has grown frustrated with religion, it provides a fresh look at God that is grounded in Scripture and honest reasoning. For the seeker who cannot yet pray with confidence, it offers the beginning of a conversation with a God who listens.

You may discover that faith is not the absence of doubt but the decision to trust what you already know about God when you cannot yet see what He is doing. True belief does not require blindness. It begins with reason, is nurtured by understanding, and blossoms into trust.

In these pages, you are invited to think biblically, to reason carefully, and to approach God with honesty. Each devotion is written in a conversational tone, guiding you through the questions that both skeptics and believers have wrestled with for centuries. You will be encouraged to seek truth, examine Scripture, and allow faith to grow naturally from what you learn.

This is not a book of religious rules or denominational arguments. It is a return to the voice of God as revealed in His Word. The same God who called humanity to reason with Him in Isaiah still speaks today. He welcomes every honest question and every searching heart.

Come Now, Let Us Reason Together is an invitation to find peace through understanding, to find meaning through truth, and to find faith through reason. God is not hiding from you. He is calling you to come and reason with Him, to bring your doubts and your intellect, your questions and your curiosity, and to discover that faith is born when the mind and the heart finally agree that God can be trusted.
