Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
Evil
When you are OK with naked strangers dancing for children, but go apocalyptic when adults pray to God, you're on the side of evil and we're done pretending any different.
Obedience
When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: fear God and keep His commands, because this is for all humanity. For God will bring every act to judgment, including every hidden thing, whether good or evil. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 CSB One act of...
It Was A Day Like Any Other
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on...
On Prayer
When you pray, do not use a lot of meaningless words, as the pagans do, who think that their gods will hear them because their prayers are long. Jesus, as recorded in the Book of Matthew 6:7 GNT Prayer is not complicated. It is simply a conversation with God. That’s...
On Laughter
A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. Proverbs 17:22 ESV If you lose the power to laugh, you lose the power to think. Clarence Darrow (1857 - 1938)
Vincible Ignorance
The foolish inherit folly; but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. Proverbs 14:18, Adapted Some people prefer their emotional outrage rather than the truth.
To Be Born Again
Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a person be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born, can he?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit (Note 1), he cannot enter the kingdom of...
Process Of Elimination
Life is a process of elimination by which you slowly learn how to not do a bunch of really stupid things. #wisdom
Begin With The End In Mind
In life you are given two ends, one to think with and the other to sit on. Your success in life depends on which end you use most. Heads you win, tails you lose. Conrad Burns (1935 - 2016)
Confusion
The Lord looks down from heaven at us humans to see if there are any who are wise, any who worship him. Psalm 14:2 GNT He who begins by seeking God within himself may end by confusing himself with God. God cannot be brought down to us, we can only direct our hearts of...
First
When things were quiet and life was easy, I said in pride, “Nothing can shake me.” I thought I was as strong as an ox. As immovable as a mountain; But then I was beset. And I came to understand my folly. And I cried out to You for help. I pleaded for Your compassion....
A New Thing
Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19 ESV If new information does not alter your behavior, perhaps you don't understand the situation.
No Exit
And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. Matthew 25:46 NKJV Hell has no exit. Heaven has only one entrance.
Truth As The Prosecuting Attorney
God's Word: “The one who rejects Me and does not accept My teachings has one who judges him: the Word which I spoke. That will judge him on the last day.” Jesus, as recorded in the Gospel of John 12:48 NASB 2020 Explication: God loves to save sinners. It is, after...
Kindle A Holy Fire
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe. Hebrews 12:28 ESV God cannot be brought down to us, we can only direct our hearts of worship upward to Him. Kindle a...
What Is The Question?
And they came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to Him, and they said to Him, “By what authority are You doing these things, or who gave You this authority to do them?” Jesus said to them, “I...
Every Knee
And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should...
The Rest Of Heaven
Let this encourage God’s people to endure patiently every trial and persecution, for they are His saints who remain firm to the end in obedience to His commands and trust in Jesus. And I heard a voice in the heavens above me saying, “Write this down: At last the time...
