Christian Universalism

I never knew this existed until tonight when my daughter was talking about it in relation to a new movie, “The Shack”, she recently saw.  Apparently, in this movie there is allusion to that everyone is saved, past, present, and future, when Christ died on the cross and that what you do now does not […]

God Loves

If you ask people if God loves or if God loves them, you will get a wide variety of responses.  God may be harsh from time to time, by what we consider harsh, but did anyone ever think that He may be this way to make you think and understand that there are consequences for […]

Cheating

First lets define what I mean by cheating: to deprive of something valuable by the use of deceit or fraud to influence or lead by deceit, trick, or artifice  to practice fraud or trickery to violate rules dishonestly I do not understand why people must cheat when it comes to anything in their lives.  The […]

Businesses

It is unfortunate, but to get anything done by companies these days is to hurt them where they feel it the most and that is in their wallets.  I have had internet issues since Wednesday around 6:15PM.  Not sure what happened at that time, but I tried to speak to the company that provides the […]

Patience

Not sure that God was challenging my patience tonight, but something sure was.  I travel and normally am on the internet on my good, fast computer after I exercise and eat until bed time. Everything was going well until about 6:15PM and then I lost internet connection using my good computer, but still had it […]

Hatred

Today, it seems as though there is just so much hatred in the world. We hate people for: Religious reasons Racial reasons Gender reasons Work ethic Being poor Being rich Being different Disagreeing We claim to be a nation that is tolerant of others, but the reality is that we are very intolerant.  If I […]

Love Thy Neighbor

I am instructed to love thy neighbor. Mark 12:31 New International Version (NIV) 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” First lets define my neighbor.  This is anyone that I come in contact with.  However lets be honest people make it very difficult to love them […]

Be Still and Wait for God

You who are praying to God, how often are you being still and waiting for a response?  I would venture to say that you are not.  Lets face it, we have a fast paced life and if we are being still, most of us feel like we are wasting precious time.  However, the reality is […]

Liking People?

Not sure how you feel, but I really do not like people.  I find most people to be: arrogant rude conceited nosy obnoxious argumentative know it all always right hateful moody liars manipulative selfish This  makes it really tough to be around them. Our society does not do much to alter this either.  For example, […]

Goal of Every Church?

What is the goal of every church?  To me, it is to show love the way Christ showed love.  It is not the churches place to pass judgement on people.  It is the churches responsibility however to show other members of the congregation how to live.  This puts a lot on the churches shoulders.   I […]
