The light in the yard from a full moon at midnight is spectacular in contrast to the blackness in the same yard during the new moon, with no man-made supplement of flashlight or street light. At it’s best and most glorious, though, moon light is second-hand sunlight. The Light we seek is brighter than the sun. As Paul told Agrippa, […]
We run to a fight if it will bring someone life. We run to loneliness if it will bring someone life. We run to a beggar if it will bring someone life. We are not afraid of questions we don’t have answers to. We are not afraid of someone being mad at our God. We are not afraid of unanswered […]
A university student, if asked “What do you do?” might respond, “I am a student.” Another reply could focus on what the student is studying. Another could inform by answering what the student plans to do that they are being trained for. Unless we know all there is to know about Who Yahweh is, and about who He says He […]
Evidence may be proving me wrong, regarding my recent declaration that Marxists would not overcome our nation. They seem to have purchased most “news” media, the judicial branch of government, the legislative branch, and now the executive branch, and are in the process of purging the leadership of the national military of any who would not be loyal to their […]

But when the temple police got there, they did not find them in the jail, so they returned and reported, “We found the jail securely locked, with the guards […]
The foundation of the church is theology and statements of faith. Contrary to the famous hymn, it has, therefore, many foundations. The stone which is the foundation of the ekklesia of Jesus is Jesus. He is the cornerstone. The height, the depth and width of His love are the planes by which those characteristics of His love can be measured […]
Most people want to live a life that has meaning and purpose. Some people want it badly enough to invest heavily in preparation for the fulfilment of some project or work that matters, even to the point of 15 years of preparation in some cases. Generally, only the people who are playing a “long game” with regard to their intentions […]
How much of our “good news” is left if we remove the religion? Is our invitation to unbelievers an invitation to Sunday meetings? Are we inviting them to avoid the lake of fire? To what do we invite those who are addicted to alcohol and other drugs? I have become convinced that the only appropriate invitation is to meet Jesus. […]
