If I am heading along believing something, but then discover that belief was not correct, it is probably wise to realign myself and my beliefs with truth. I may believe that I don’t need to save money. I may believe that the trip takes an hour and twenty minutes. I might think that you are lying. If I discover that […]
Now when this corruptible is clothed with incorruptibility,and this mortal is clothed with immortality,then the saying that is written will take place:Death has been swallowed up in victory.O Death, where is your victory?O Death, where is your sting?Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.But thanks be to God, who gives us the […]
A blind woman standing on a train platform can hear a train arrive, but not see it. Finding the door and stepping through it might require help. If the platform is raised, she could step right into the car. If the platform is at the same level as the wheels, she needs steps. The Kingdom of Heaven is among us. […]

For Christ’s love compels us, since we have reached this conclusion: if One died for all, then all died. And He died for all so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for the One who died for them and was raised.(2 Corinthians 5:14-15 HCSB ©®) You have not yet been invited to my funeral, but […]
Don’t be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows he will also reap, because the one who sows to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. So we must not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the […]
I smile when I read an obituary that states that the deceased entered into eternal rest on whatever the date of passing was. Rest amounts to very different interpretation in different contexts.
