Rod MacKenzie – Why I Believe

February 10, 2020 by Rod MacKenzie Leave a Comment

When I was 17 years old I started exploring questions about my faith. The existence of God. The origin of the universe. The problem of evil. Biblical contradictions. Conflicts between science and religion. The exclusive nature of Christianity. I have continued to explore these questions off and on for 30 years. Though I haven't discovered all of the answers, I have been … [Read more...] about Rod MacKenzie – Why I Believe

We are all broken people who need something that cannot be found inside of us. We need a saviour.

Love your enemies and do good to those who do you evil.

Wellness has little to do with health and wealth and everything to do with your relationship with Jesus.

Serve others with no expectation of service in return.

Forgive even your worst enemies, no matter what their crimes against you.

People are not inherently good, but sinful by nature. Only through Jesus can we overcome our sin.

Being recognized for your contribution isn't important. What matters is that people see Jesus.

Life is not about wealth or power or fame. It's about relationship, first with God, then with others.

"Follow your heart" is bad advice. Our hearts are broken and corrupted and will lead us astray. Follow Jesus and He will mend our broken hearts.

Science cannot explain the most important aspects of humanity.

Tolerance is treating with respect those who you believe are mistaken, not accepting all other viewpoints as valid.

We are stewards, not owners, of our resources, bodies and lives. These are gifts from God and we are responsible to do with them what He asks of us.

God can give you joy even in your worst circumstances and experiences.

Truth by definition is exclusive.

Sex is sacred. A gift from God. It is as much a soul-union as a physical one and it is destructive outside the covenant bond of marriage.

Not following your dreams could be what's best for you.

Our intrinsic value as human beings lies in the fact that we were created in the image of God. Without that, there is no objective basis for human rights.

Finding happiness is not life's purpose, finding God is. His goal for you is not a happy and trouble free life, but a life of growth in relationship with Him.
