    Autism is Not a Side Effect

    ByMatthew Semrau August 5, 2025August 5, 2025 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    There has to be something much more fundamentally different about the autistic brain than just a reaction to vaccines or any other environmental trigger. The kinds of differences we see—in how we process information, approach learning, and interact with the world—run deeper than any single “cause” or side effect. If autism were just a matter…

    How Outrage and Marketing Collide in a Viral Ad A Warning to Christian Men First, if you haven’t seen the ad yet, don’t. Just trust me. It’s probably not the most provocative ad you’ve ever seen, but it’s provocative enough—and as a Christian, especially a Christian man, guard your eyes, mind, and heart. The Manufactured…

    Trouble with Calvinism: Why Many Struggle with Reformed Theology

    ByMatthew Semrau July 18, 2025July 19, 2025 Reading Time: 6 minutes

    If Based On Scripture, Why Doesn’t Everyone See it? As with many of my articles, this one started out as a reply to a question on Facebook. The Reformed Sage asked: If Reformed Theology is so scripturally rooted, why do you think so many struggle to accept its doctrines? What are your thoughts? While I…

    One Blood, Many Nations: God’s Providence

    ByMatthew Semrau July 9, 2025July 10, 2025 Reading Time: 3 minutes

    We can be certain that God-made boundaries no longer exist where He has removed them. There is nothing in Acts 17:26 that grants us any authority to maintain these borders, or any control over our place in God’s order.

    Bible Inerrancy: Harmonization & Accuracy

    ByMatthew Semrau July 19, 2023 Reading Time: 3 minutes

    As a believer in the inspired and inerrant word of God, I often encounter questions regarding the harmonization of the Bible’s contents and the accuracy of its translations. Let’s explore these topics in greater detail. Harmonization of the Bible Some may wonder if the diverse accounts in the Bible can truly be harmonized. Ultimately, the…

    Eternally Secure in Christ

    ByMatthew Semrau February 8, 2023February 8, 2023 Reading Time: 4 minutes

    If salvation can be lost, then why is one “saved” and not “might be saved”? To say one is “saved” implies they are now safe from the danger which once would destroy them. If salvation can be lost, it’s not salvation. While some may argue there are passages in the Bible which teach salvation is…

    Holding Every Thought Captive

    ByMatthew Semrau May 5, 2016July 9, 2025 Reading Time: 1 minute

    Stand Your Ground. Three simple words anyone in grade school can read. But the complexity of what this means and how to actually do just that is difficult. If we look at the Bible its chalked full of men and women who stood their ground despite facing persecution. Western Christians have been marginalized and corralled…

    God Is: The existence of God and the universe

    ByMatthew Semrau April 3, 2016March 12, 2017 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    When Moses asked, “Who should I say sent me?” God replied with, what I think is one of, if not the most, profound explanations of who He is ever. God said to Moses, “I AM who I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”…
