The Maccabees

February 22, 2024 By Dr. Don Bierle

By Dr. Don Bierle, FaithSearch President

Upon reading the heading above, some might wonder if that might be the name of a rock band, the latest religion, or even a new fast food sandwich! Some may be aware the Maccabees were a Jewish priestly family who, by the hand of God, helped to prepare the way for the incarnation of Jesus, the Son of God, to planet earth.

Bell on Steroids

February 22, 2024 By fsisocialmedia

In 1876, at the age of 29, Alexander Graham Bell invented the first telephone. It took until 1984 for the invention of the first portable cellular phone. The first commercially produced cell phone, the Motorola DunaTAC 8000X, sold for $3,995 – equivalent to nearly $12,000 today.

Misdirected Optimism

February 22, 2024 By fsisocialmedia

A parachute landed in the Utah desert last September, carrying the first-ever U.S. asteroid sample (250 grams). NASA’s OSIRIS-REx probe was launched in 2016, and collected a sample from the near-earth asteroid Bennu. Analysis will be by the NASA team at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, as well as by 200 mission members from thirty-five countries.

Happenings: February 2024

February 22, 2024 By fsisocialmedia

This FREE Happ-O-getics newsletter of happenings and apologetic evidence is sent six times per year to everyone on our FaithSearch mail list with an E-mail address on record. Share it with friends and encourage them to sign up online for their own copy.
FaithSearch Highlights

  • Oleg will be on another ministry trip to Russia the first three weeks of May – two weeks in Moscow and one week in Armenia. Follow his updates online.
  • Vernee and Don arrived in Surprise, Arizona, at the beginning of November. Don immediately began teaching a weekly class on “discerning heresy”; substitute taught Sundays in their church; and participated in a weekly men’s Bible study. He also began teaching a new home study called “What’s Next: Will We Live Again?” – challenging seniors to have assurance of life after death through faith in Jesus.
  • Rick, Adrian, and Don continue developing courses and posting Don’s teaching videos on the Bible Learning Center. Check it out!
  • FaithSearch is MOVING this spring! The building we are in now is being replaced, so we are moving to another office in an adjacent building – 6800 France Avenue S.

Mount Moriah

September 20, 2023 By Dr. Don Bierle

By Dr. Don Bierle, FaithSearch President

Author’s Note: The following article is written in first person as if the Mount itself were capable of a personal response.

Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah.

2 Chronicles 3:1
Jerusalem, atop Mount Moriah, as seen from the Mount of Olives, in a painting by David Roberts, 1839. 

It’s been an incredible ride! I’m humbled by the God-ordained events which I’ve borne on my slopes, but I’m still waiting for the “big” one (more about that later). Yes, I’m Mount Moriah, home of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem – itself the size of twenty football fields, nearly 145 acres.

What People Are Saying…

FaithSearch Discovery

I've heard many times from people that all religion is simply what you've been taught; and [that] you can't really know if what you've been taught is any more valid than what anyone else has been taught.  You have clearly presented evidence (historical) which supports the Scriptural truth.
