Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
The Word Of God
He humbled you by letting you go hungry. Then He gave you manna to eat, which you and your ancestors had not known, so that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. Listen, then, O...
The Wrath Of God
God's wrath often takes the form of simply allowing us to suffer the natural consequences of our sinful decisions.
The Verdict Is In
God's official verdict for those who trust in Jesus: Not Guilty.
Today
Today is the day of salvation. Not tomorrow.
Ideas
Ideas have consequences. Bad ideas have victims. John Stonestreet, Prison Fellowship
Bedlam
For God is not the author of disorder but of peace. 1 Corinthians 14:33 The word of the day is bedlam. Bedlam is entirely foreign to the Attributes of God. Bedlam represents the absence of God, the lack of surrender and obedience. Bedlam and chaos and disorder are...
Undeserved Grace
We should never move from 'I appreciate grace' to 'I deserve grace'. If we deserved grace, it wouldn't be grace. Adapted, The Eclipse of God, Erwin Lutzer
Count Your Blessings
"No matter how bad things are, they can always be worse. So what if my stroke left me with a speech impediment? Moses had one, and he did alright." Kirk Douglas (1916 - 2020)
Counting Your Blessings
The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings. Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
The Hottest Places In Hell
The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in time of great moral crises maintained their neutrality. Paraphrase, Dante Alighieri (1265 - 1321) Having not had revelation on Hell (other than it exists), we are not certain if this is true. But it should be.
A Holy Commotion
And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of His return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:25 NLT Come, let us go up to the house of the Lord and make a holy commotion to our God.
And They’re Off!
It is Kentucky Derby Day. The most exciting two minutes in sports. That means Mint Juleps and Hot Browns. The Derby is an iconic event that captures the imagination of horseracing fans, and that revels in pomp, pageantry, and tradition. A few thoughts on the Derby:...
More Truth
How joyful are those who fear the Lord, who stand in awe of God, who follow wherever He leads, committed in their hearts. You shall eat of the fruit of your labor. Blessed shall you be, and it shall be well with you. Your wife will be like a healthy vine producing...
The Binary Truth Of Things
How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg. Adapted, Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865) (Note 1) In our pagan (post Judeo-Christian) world, truth is not a value. For example, the belief that there are more...
Ears To Hear
When I pray, I talk to God, but when I read the Bible, God talks to me. Dwight L. Moody (1837 - 1899)
An Rx For Sorrow
"Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath, and a glass of wine" is a common meme on sorrow often attributed to Thomas Aquinas (1225 - 1274). There are at least two problems with this meme. First, there is no citation confirming Aquinas as the source and the...
Hope
Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out. Vaclav Havel (1936 - 2011)
Hands Lifted In Worship
The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of Heaven and earth. Acts 17:24 Hands lifted in praise to God acknowledge that someone exists who’s greater than you. That He is reaching down with an outstretched hand, and you’re responding to Him in faith....
