Are We Living in Romans 1:18-32? “That which has been is what will be, that which is done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which it may be said, ‘See, this is new?’ It has already been in ancient times before us.” (Ecclesiastes […]

Cooking is too much work
Two bachelors were talking one day, and their conversation drifted from politics to sports to cooking. One of them said, “I bought a cookbook one day, but I never could do anything with it.” The other one said, “Too much fancy work in it, huh?” The first one said, “Yeah, it sure was. Every one […]
Sex And Gender
It used to be so simple, that question of what a man or woman is. Now the water is unnecessarily muddied. One born with the genitalia of one sex can consider themselves another gender and find societal acceptance. Yet, biology is objective. It provides evidence one cannot dispute. You either have the chromosomes making you male or female. Of […]
Are you a MOUSE or a LION?
How does Satan win modern-day battles? One way is by successfully convincing Christians not to engage in battle—to instead focus on how we come across to others and how we “appear” to those in our culture. He has convinced Christians and many preachers/elders that being nice is the only way we can demonstrate a Christian […]
Big “I”
” . . . I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.” Acts 26:29. Perhaps many of us recognize these words as those spoken by Paul to Agrippa when he told Paul that he had […]
A common thread with mass shooters?
A law enforcement officer interviewed on a Chicago news station was commenting on the most recent, tragic shooting, this one in the Windy City’s northern suburb town of Highland Park. He began talking about root causes of these shootings, comparing these shooters to weeds that pop up various places. In the midst of this, he […]
SAVED FROM EMBARRASSMENT July 4, 1954
The source (and veracity) of the following story is unknown: It was July 4, 1954, I Corps Artillery, Korea. The armistice had been signed the summer before. The I Corps Commander, a three star general, had scheduled his baseball team to play the Corps Arty’s team. It may seem strange, but Corps Arty is […]
Reaching A New Generation
I recently started reading a book called UnChristian by David Kinnaman. This book is a compilation of 3 years of research of how the new emerging generation perceives Christianity. The verdict is not pretty. The younger generation (specifically ages 16-29) view Christianity mostly in a negative light. Now, this book was written in 2007, but […]
Before We Criticize…
There are times when mistakes are made and things need to be pointed out. And, unfortunately, we all know that offering criticism can sometimes make a bad situation even worse. Serious thought needs to go into what we will say. Maybe it would help if we would ask the following questions before offering criticism: 1. […]
How is it that revealing God’s will can be thought of as a burden?
The Burden of Habakkuk “The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see” (Ha. 1:1; KJV). What is this burden the prophet “saw”? Other translations use “oracle,” meaning “a revelation from God.” How is it that revealing God’s will can be thought of as a burden? It was Jeremiah’s burden as he revealed that God’s message […]
