Do You Fear For The Future of America?
Do you fear for the future survival of America as a country? I sure do. I fear for the survival of America because we are losing our way (some might say we’ve already lost our way, and they might be correct) and we are no longer protecting our freedoms and liberties. Instead, we are becoming…

Are There Spiritual Battles?
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour…

Where Was Jesus From?
Over the years I have often heard the phrase ‘Every church has one’, and in every single case it was not meant to refer to a piece of architecture within the building. Oh sure, you could say every church has a cross. Which would probably be true of most protestant churches. But that is not…

Who Owns Death? (Part II)
I left off this topic in part I with Satan having stolen the spiritual life of humanity from God. 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 Which is…

My father graduated from Purdue University with a degree in Electrical Engineering. I, on the other hand, failed to graduate from High…

Do You Practice What You Preach?
[For the second time in a very short period of time I find myself breaking one of my primary rules for a fixed length BLOG and making a long post (about 2.6 times longer than my average). I realize that your time is a precious commodity and that time spent on one resource (on the…

When Do We Commit to Life?
Here is something I penned some 17 years ago concerning Terri Schiavo and her husband’s decision to remove her from life support: The question then, as it is today, is when do you commit to life (or not)? When we realize that life is a gift from God, and that it is He who grants…

Are We In Danger?
One of the earliest TV Shows I can remember watching as a child was Lost in Space, which ran for 3 seasons from September 15, 1965 to March 6, 1968. The show was iconic for its time airing a full year before the premiere of another iconic science fiction show, Star Trek. An interesting piece…

Can Christians Have Humor?
One of the older misgiven stereotypes of Christians is that they are old dried-up humorless sourpusses. This image of Christians is probably not as prevalent in the world today as it was during my youth, however, the idea is still somewhat alive even if not articulated in the same way it was a few decades…
