Seeing Tall Treasures
Seeing Tall Treasures is built around a simple desire: to keep looking upward, searching deeply, and seeking the treasures of God's Kingdom.
Jesus said: “Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” — John 3:3
And He compared the Kingdom of Heaven to a treasure hidden in a field: “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” — Matthew 13:44
The greatest treasures are not always the things the world values. Sometimes they are truths we have overlooked, lessons hidden beneath the surface, or a deeper understanding that draws us closer to God. Seeing Tall Treasures is about looking beyond ourselves and seeing the world through heaven's eyes — seeing first the Kingdom of God and the treasures found in Christ. (Matthew 6:33; Colossians 3:1–2)
Statement of Purpose
This website was created with a simple hope: to help people look toward God and seek Him more deeply and see the signs, wonders, miracles and blessings he shows us, every day.
I do not claim to have all the answers, and I do not claim to have the power to heal, save, or transform anyone. Only Jesus Christ can truly heal the broken, change the heart, and lead us into truth. I can point, share, ask questions, and offer perspectives—but each person must ultimately seek God for themselves.
Jesus said, “Apart from Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5). I believe that real spiritual growth does not come from following a person, a website, a tradition, or an idea. It comes from seeking and abiding in Christ.
Where These Ideas Come From
Many of the ideas explored on this website are things I believe the Holy Spirit has led me to consider and reflect upon. These insights may come through different experiences: through dreams, through visions or images perceived in the mind's eye, through prayer and reflection, through Scripture, or through things encountered in physical reality and God's creation.I do not claim that every thought, dream, image, or experience is automatically a message from God. I recognize that human beings can misunderstand what they see, think, feel, or experience. For that reason, I believe these things should be approached with humility, discernment, prayer, and testing against Scripture.
The Bible teaches us not to simply accept every spiritual claim without discernment:“Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God.” — 1 John 4:1“Test all things; hold fast what is good.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:21
Therefore, when I share something that came from a dream, vision, mental image, observation, or personal experience, I am not asking anyone to accept it as equal to Scripture. I am simply sharing something that I believe may be worth examining. Scripture remains the foundation and standard by which all ideas should ultimately be tested.
The purpose of this website is to explore spiritual truths, biblical themes, symbolism, and alternative ways of looking at Scripture. Sometimes we may ask questions or consider interpretations that are different from what we have traditionally heard.
This may also mean respectfully challenging long-standing traditions, antiquated practices, popular teachings, or modern ways of thinking when they appear to have drifted from the heart and context of God's Word. Something being old does not automatically make it true, and something being new does not automatically make it wise. Traditions can contain great wisdom, but traditions can also be misunderstood or carried forward without being carefully examined. Likewise, modern thinking can sometimes bring helpful insight—or lead us away from biblical truth.
The goal is not to reject tradition simply because it is traditional, nor to reject modern ideas simply because they are modern.
The goal is to ask: What does Scripture actually say? What did it mean in its context? And are we faithfully following Christ, or simply repeating what we have been taught?
Jesus Himself warned about placing human traditions above the commands of God (Mark 7:8–13). At the same time, Scripture calls us to hold firmly to what is good and to test what we hear (1 Thessalonians 5:21; Acts 17:11).
The goal is not to change God's Word, add to it, or place human ideas above Scripture. Rather, the goal is to think deeply, search the Scriptures, ask honest questions, and encourage one another to seek understanding.
The Bible teaches that “all Scripture is given by inspiration of God” and is profitable for teaching, correction, and training in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16–17). Because of this, Scripture remains the foundation and the standard—not my opinions, traditions, interpretations, experiences, or modern cultural ideas.
Looking to God's Creation
I also believe that science and nature can help us see the fingerprints of God and better appreciate the wonder of His creation. The study of the universe, life, nature, and the physical world does not have to stand in opposition to faith. God's creation can inspire questions, reveal order and beauty, and sometimes provide powerful illustrations that help us better understand spiritual truths.
The Bible itself points us toward creation:
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.” — Psalm 19:1
“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made.” — Romans 1:20
Jesus frequently used the natural world to teach spiritual truths. He spoke of seeds, soil, trees, vineyards, birds, flowers, storms, light, water, and harvests. Creation became a living illustration—not replacing God's Word, but helping people understand the truths He was teaching.
For that reason, this website may explore science, nature, and God's creation as possible evidence pointing toward a Creator and as illustrations that can help us reflect on spiritual truths. A tree may teach us about roots and fruit. Light may teach us about truth. A seed may teach us about death and new life. The natural world can help us see familiar biblical principles in fresh ways.
But creation is not placed above Scripture, and scientific observations or theories should never be forced into the Bible. Rather, both Scripture and creation should be approached with humility, recognizing the limits of our understanding and continuing to seek truth.
“Ask the animals, and they will teach you; the birds of the air, and they will tell you... Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?” — Job 12:7–9
I encourage you not to blindly accept anything written here. Instead, test it. Search the Scriptures for yourself, pray, and ask God for wisdom. The Bereans were commended because they “searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so” (Acts 17:11). We are also told that if anyone lacks wisdom, they should ask God, who gives generously (James 1:5).
This website is not about elevating myself or creating followers. The goal is to point beyond myself—to Jesus. If anything shared here helps someone pause, pray, open their Bible, question assumptions, look more closely at God's creation, seek truth, or draw closer to Christ, then I am grateful.
But ultimately, no person can force another person to be healed or changed. We can encourage, love, challenge, and point the way, but each of us must personally respond to God and ask Him to work in our lives.
“Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near.” — Isaiah 55:6
My prayer is simply this: Lord, if there is anything true here, let it point people toward You. If there is anything false, flawed, misunderstood, or merely human, let it fall away. Give us humility to recognize when we are wrong, courage to question what needs to be questioned, wisdom to discern truth, and hearts that are willing to follow wherever You lead. May Jesus Christ receive the glory.
