Aches and pain will have passed away, never to return; the same, of course, with death. The blind will see. The lame will run. The possibility of contracting a disease? Forget about it; it’ll never happen. Will we be ethereal … Continue reading
Some would have us believe that the Bible speaks against interracial marriage. And they’re right! It does! Right there in Deuteronomy 7: 1-4, the Israelites are told not to intermarry with the inhabitants of the nations that they will defeat. … Continue reading
It seems to me that when we seek God, we’re seeking to know and ultimately have a relationship with God the Father. It’s not that He’s more powerful than God the Son or God the Spirit, or that having a … Continue reading

This poem tells the story of a hopeless teen stating the condition of his life, and a Christian presenting to him the hope Jesus offers… Lost–And Found! By Susan Gurney He chants “Hopelessness” as his mantra– “Things … Continue reading
At first glance, a lot of the Mosaic Laws seem to not make sense. That’s the case for the one written in Deuteronomy 22: 22-29. On the surface, it’s not only shocking; it comes across even as barbaric. It says, … Continue reading
Skeptics view the travel story about the prophet Jonah as not real. They’ve determined the whole account to be an allegory because of the episode in which he’s inside the fish’s belly for three days and three nights. However, there … Continue reading
Every now and then someone nearly dies and brings back from “the other side” a story of heaven or hell. One of the most recent occurrences was that of a little boy. His celestial journey was chronicled by his father … Continue reading
Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom? 1. We’re related. 2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people’s mom like me. What kind of a little girl was your mom? 1. … Continue reading
I was talking to a friend the other day and the CIA came up. We both agreed that its presence is necessary in the culture of this world. And we also decided that for it to be effective, there would … Continue reading
I read about a woman whose husband is in a coma. He’s not in a hospital. He’s not in a nursing home. He is at home. He has been there for six months and, along with a visiting nurse, the … Continue reading
For victory in battle, Jephthah vowed to the lord that he would offer as a burnt offering, the first thing that met him upon his homecoming. Lo and behold, his daughter was the first to meet him. Instantly, he was … Continue reading
Should a person wanting to experience communion be a member of the church conducting the communion service? Must one have all sins forgiven in order to participate? I think it’s wrong when the governing body of a church determines who … Continue reading
Is Jesus not our Example for Christian living? Being that He is and that He Himself was baptized (immersed in water), I think it would behoove us to do the same. Jesus was baptized because He was carrying out the … Continue reading
In my last post, Vain Repetitions, I made the point that God is a person. It brought back memories that led to that personal discovery. I had enrolled in a local Christian college located in an office building. It was … Continue reading
Prayer is an opportunity God gives us to draw closer to Him. Though He knows what’s on our minds, He also knows how much it will benefit us to verbalize our thoughts and feelings. That we see Him as a … Continue reading
