Faith That Thinks

A serious look at Scripture, theology, current events, biblical events, and the wonderment that comes from considering God and the things that matter.

From the caretakers of CrowU

The serious room in an otherwise mischievous building

CrowU and Crow Seminary are a master class in satire, absurdity, parody, mischief, and carefully cultivated tomfoolery. They were created in good fun.

Faith That Thinks is different. It is our outlet for writing seriously about Scripture, theology, faith, biblical and current events, and subjects we believe matter enough to share.

We do not pretend to be leading theologians or people who possess every answer. We are ordinary people willing to ask difficult questions, examine what we have been taught, and search the Scriptures for ourselves.

Our purpose is not to tell you what you must think.

It is to challenge you to think—to reason, examine, question, and test ideas against the Word of God rather than blindly, or perhaps even sheepily, accepting everything placed before you.

The Biblical Foundation

Biblical faith is not the refusal to think. Scripture invites us to reason, test what we hear, and search the Word for ourselves.

“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD.”
Isaiah 1:18, KJV

The invitation to reason.

“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.”
1 Thessalonians 5:21, KJV

The instruction to test.

“They received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”
Acts 17:11, KJV

The example of the Bereans.

Berean Papers

These are serious studies selected by the caretakers of CrowU because the questions are meaningful and the conclusions deserve to be tested, not merely accepted.

Jesus’ quotation of Psalm 22 from the cross as deliberate scriptural identification, prophetic fulfillment, indictment, and a test case in divine sovereignty and human responsibility.

Freshwater and life near the Dead Sea, activity across the Pacific Ring of Fire, and the biblical question: coincidence, convergence, or prophecy?

Genesis 1:1 identifies the Creator and declares that there was a beginning—but does it tell us when that beginning occurred?

An open invitation

We invite you to become a Berean

The Bereans did not reject everything they heard, nor did they blindly accept it. They listened with open minds and then searched the Scriptures to determine whether what they had been taught was true.

Do not believe something merely because we wrote it. Read it. Reason through it. Search the Scriptures. Test the claims. Keep what proves true, and be willing to discard what does not.

No tuition is required. The only prerequisite is a willingness to examine what you believe—and why you believe it.

Read. Reason. Search. Test.

“Come now, and let us reason together.” — Isaiah 1:18
