Do You Have Wisdom to Share?
There are a few types of knowledge in this world. There is the scholarly knowledge that is taught and gained in schools. Some of it may be correct, accurate, and true. While some of it may be questionable. Take for example the study of mathematics. In every culture and in every land we have an understanding…

An Update on Lance & Laura …
I wanted to take a brief moment and provide you an update on my Missionary Friends Lance & Laura Ostman. A few weeks ago I told you about Lance & Laura.

Do You Have A Right To Die?
The world is officially losing its mind. At least we are here in the United States of America (and probably most other Western cultures as well). California became the fifth State this week to pass a Right To Die law. For some reason there are those that seem rather gleeful about this. This law supposedly gives those…

Which Side of The Cross Are You On?
When I started this blog I thought that I would treat issues from the Philosophies, Sciences, Politics, Life, and Religion equally.

WHAT ARE WE TO MAKE OF SAME SEX MARRIAGE?
WARNING: Today’s post IS NOT for young children or those easily offended (and most whom are difficult to offend). It is graphic in nature, controversial in subject, and will be divisive to most. Several readers here have asked me if I intended to address the recent United States Supreme Court decision that strikes…

What Are You Going To Hell For?
Normally a good apologetics case for the truth of the Bible would be built upon a logical foundation. One might start with the question “Is there a God?” and build from there. Given the premise that there is a God, one might ask the question “Which god is the God?” or they might ask “Who…

Expectations In Life …
Expectations in life can be a roller coaster ride. A series of ups and downs and twists and turns. Sometimes you are upside down and other times you are plummeting straight towards the ground. There are many religions in the world that teach transcendental meditation as a way of emptying oneself or removing all expectations from…
