Which Side Are You On?
Yesterday I passed along my thoughts on the two different cultures manifesting themselves in America today. I said that I didn’t have a question, only an observation, but that was not entirely accurate. I do have a question. The point of the observations, naturally, was to cause you to consider which culture you fit into […]
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, […]
My Reminder…
Richard C. Halverson, though I never knew him, is a hero of mine. His work and words have impacted my life. As I remember him in this month of Thanksgiving, I thank God for him. I recently posted one of his devotionals from his bi-weekly devotional letter “Perspective”. I’d like to post another today. I […]
Do You Meet Minium Requirements?
A co-worker came into work the other day and matter-of-factly proclaimed: “I met the minimum requirements of motherhood this morning.” I had to chuckle. We all have some set of minimum requirements we believe we need to meet in order to survive each day. But there are also a set of minimum requirements that others […]
Are You Good Enough To Get Into Heaven?
A question that I have asked a few times in the past on this blog deals with exploring why there is evil in the world. I’ve asked this question both from the standpoint of why God allows bad things to happen to good people and why God allows evil in the world if he is […]
A Final Thought on HELL
In my last three posts I’ve espoused quite a bit on the subject of Hell. I’d like to take a final (for now) post to summarize and add a few concepts that I’ve not had the opportunity to cover in those posts. I’ve had the great honor and privilege to sit under and be taught […]
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 […]
Consider the Wise Men (3 Kings)
There are many things that bother people about Christians, but seemingly the one single thing that people really key in on is a Christians insistence upon Jesus Christ being the ONLY way to Heaven. People don’t like being told that there is only one way to do something. As a matter-of-fact, if you want to alienate […]
