Are You The Redeemed of the Lord?
One of the more interesting dynamics of the Christian Faith to me is the argument that as the Elect of God, we are perfectly in his hands. Never to have calamity or evil ever cross our paths again. These are the “feel good” Christians. The idea that “if God be for me, who can be […]
Do You Make A Difference?
In 2008 The Oak Ridge Boys asked the question “Did I make a difference in somebody’s life?” through a pretty thoughtful melody. They inspired people though song to consider whether or not they were making a difference in the world in which we all live. The song is asking us whether or not we are […]
What Do You Do In Times Of Trouble?
Recently I was asked about life’s good times and bad times, The expression ‘When it rains, it pours.‘ (to describe multiple events of a like or same nature occurring together in a short period of time) came to mind.

Does God Want Bad Things For You?
A question that I have pontificated upon before, but nonetheless a difficult question in life is: “Why do bad things happen to good people?” The basic premise is: If God is such a loving and kind God why is there pain and suffering in the world? It is a concept that even the brightest minds […]

Hell: Is it For You or Me?
In my last couple of posts I’ve espoused the idea that Hell is God’s holding place for Sin for all of eternity. But I haven’t fully explored what that entails. Particularly, will we (humanity) find ourselves there? It is a reasonable question after all, because we know there is evil in the world and if […]
Hell: Fantasy or Finality?
A while back I had a post here in which I mentioned Hell. In that post I based arguments on some assumptions that were given’s up front in my discussion and I purposely did not offer a definition or an explanation of Hell for the stated reason that I wanted to revisit the subject of Hell in more […]

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.
