Blunt sins require blunt responses. Read with that awareness in mind. But blunt sins require the kindness of God and grace as do all sins (Romans 2:4). Let’s keep that in mind too. Let’s ask some questions that are designed to make us think. Are people genetically born homosexual? Then if one identical twin is [...]

All of us, even if we bear just a slight resemblance to God, have ached and pled for a loved one to change and repent. God loves His children, even when they sin. God loves His children, despite their sin. Consequences and chastisements are burdens of love not only to those under their infliction, but [...]

This seems exactly the opposite of the way the Hebrew writer says it: “Who makes His angels winds, And His ministers a flame of fire.” The question is WHY is the Hebrew writer saying this about angels, that [...]

What is the importance of a Christian education? As Christians we need a “Christian education.” As Christian parents we should strive to teach our children what we have learned from our studies. And as parents we should also emphasize the importance of getting our children to Bible Classes and to church services so that they [...]

Mary stood beside Jim almost twenty years ago when he uttered the promise that made her his wife. The words returned to her now: something about having and holding, for better or for worse, both in sickness and in health…until “death do us part.” But today the death that parted them was the death of [...]

The year is 3483. Archaeologists have just discovered the ruins of a city, the name of which is still unknown. What buried treasures lay within this ancient civilization from the last century of the 20th and the first of the 21st century? The “time travelers” to the past found pictures, amazingly preserved. Many of the [...]

In reading an interesting book, The Rescue of Jerusalem – The Alliance Between Hebrews and Africans in 701 B.C., I read the following acknowledgment by the author Henry T. Aubin: During the years of preparing this book, greatly appreciated encouragement has come from numerous friends and kind….I am particularly grateful to three scholars… (who) showed [...]
