A Tale Of Two Cultures
In 1859 Charles Dickens wrote the historical novel A Tale of Two Cities. A story centered around London England and Paris France before/during the French Revolution. It has been referred to as the best selling novel of all time (and certainly must be in the top 10, assuming it is even taught in schools these…

How Do I Know If You Trust Jesus?
The other day in my last blog post I talked about people at the George Floyd protests carrying No Justice No Peace signs (as those found here) and I mentioned how ridiculous I find that slogan. I also mentioned these people don’t know peace and that peace dependent upon justice is worthless peace. But I…

Are You Marching For George Floyd?
About four weeks ago no one in America (other than family and friends) had heard the name George Floyd. However, suddenly, after one senseless act, not only had the world heard the name of George Floyd, but he had suddenly become some type of martyr, a symbol, a cause to rally around. Cries of racism,…

It would seem that despite the sickness, loss-of-life, and health impacts to others, the greatest impact has been in economic and social realms. This impact leads to the question of…

Do You take Jesus with you?
I’d like to address Theists today. Specifically those theists that identify as Judeo-Christian. And the question I’d like to ask is “Do you take Jesus with you everywhere you go?” OK. Not really, I would not ask such a question. I’ll explain that in a minute. More to the point, what I’d like to discuss…

Who Are You?
We all want to be somebody. And we all want to be somebody special. We want to be somebody unique. We all want to know that we are the most unique human on the planet. Beyond our fingerprints, beyond our DNA, beyond our talents and our personalities, we want to be unique. And we want…

What is the status of your unbelief?
“20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” There are many things in the world that…

Are You Living on the Other Side of the BUT …?
Three friends of mine, whom I’ve mentioned in the past, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, found themselves facing quite a predicament one afternoon. They faced a situation where they could do what God had said to do, or they could do what man had said to do. But they couldn’t do both. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego…
