God created man 🚹 and woman 🚺 with the power of REASON. Rational beings. The CROWN 👑 OF HIS CREATION. The closest to and the only IMAGE of God in the whole universe. REASON! It sets man apart from all other created beings. It enables man to understand and grasp that which is far beyond […]
It is like nothing I have ever seen or read! It defies description and understanding. It is like a radically bazaar episode from the TWILIGHT ZONE. Except this is not TV, this is REALITY TV. There has never been a time in history like it, except perhaps the days of Noah. I was not alive […]
We say it in different ways, and when we do, it is generally met with approving nods, and maybe even a polite AMEN or two. But do we really believe what we are saying? Do we even slightly begin to know what we are speaking? Or are they by now simply feel good cliches that […]
The Apostle Paul writes at first sight what appears to be a very confusing and even contradictory passage in I Corinthians 3:18-19, “DO NOT DECEIVE YOURSELVES, IF any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of the world, you should become fools so that you may become wise. FOR THE WISDOM OF […]
Far off! Far away! Far from home! Far gone! Gone too far! How far? So far from here! Too far! Far from us! Far apart! Far out! Far from each other! Far from God! How far is far? O! We use it all the time. So does the Word of God! We would not get […]
Let a sleeping dog 🐕 lie! Of course, unless you have something against sleeping dogs. Apparently some people do, as they say sarcastically about a lounging person, “He lives a dog’s life.” Or, “He is as lazy as a dog.” Or, “You lazy dog you!” Somehow dogs have been labeled with the hazy lazy stigma. […]
There is no possibility of anticipating what the Lord Jesus will do next. Following Jesus is to constantly be caught off guard. Just when you think you have His modus operandi deciphered, He blows your preconceived notions to smithereens! The unanticipated God in action! We read in Ecclesiastes 5:11, “JUST AS YOU DO NOT KNOW […]
In order for men to believe in God, they deep down really want Him or Her to be like them, to think like them, to act like them, to be one of them. They want a god who agrees with their agenda. And yet a god who can get them out of tight spots. He […]
5. Nadab And Abihu You know how kids are, they love to play! I am not talking about just playing sports, though as a boy I loved to play football 🏈, basketball 🏀, baseball ⚾ with the kids in the neighborhood! Oh what fun we had, and admittedly it could become intense at times. We […]
3. SHISHAK KING OF EGYPT The Psalmist says something under Divine Inspiration that resonates deeply with me. It always has and always will. He rejoicing states in Psalm 122:1, “I WAS GLAD WHEN THEY SAID UNTO ME, LET US GO INTO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD.” Of course, a HOUSE is what you live in. […]
Now you see ’em, now you don’t. Like shooting 🌟 stars, then they are gone. In a moment of time. Here one moment, gone the next. Gone so quickly. Here today, gone tomorrow. Did you see 👀 that? I caught only a brief glimpse. He was here just a minute ago. Sometimes the most impacting […]
I remember hearing his name before I could really process who this person truly was. I heard it over and over again. It didn’t sound right, but then who is a child to question? And when I heard it was when someone in my world 🌎 was either 😲 shocked or 😠 angered or both. […]
