It seems like more and more, there is violence here in America and across the world. The Bible tells us that it will only get worse. 2 Timothy 3:1 New International Version (NIV) 3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. This scripture tells us that it will be really bad […]

Sensitivity
My feelings are hurt and we need to do something about it. That is the attitude of people these days. While the Bible does say to avoid harsh words, it does not say go back and basically rewrite history to avoid hurting peoples feelings. Proverbs 15:1 New International Version (NIV) 15 A gentle answer turns away […]
Scammers
I know we are to trust in the Lord with everything and I honestly try to live that way, but I wonder how much we are supposed to do? Are we supposed to question those things that just seem to good to be true? Are we suppose to question those things that we know are […]
The World Does Not Revolve Around You
Despite what your parents and others have told you, the world does not revolve around you. That last time I looked, the world revolves around the center of mass within our solar system. Why is this so important? When we think we are the most important thing in the universe, then we will turn away […]
For His Glory
God created us for His glory. There really is nothing more that needs to be said. While there are things that do not make sense to us and at times I am sure it appears that God has allowed bad things to happen. However, God can use every situation and thing for His glory. Read […]
Compassion

You may wonder why, as a Christian aren’t I supposed to love my neighbor as I would love myself? That […]
Tattoos
My son recently got a tattoo and I am not thrilled. I realize that he is an adult and can make these decisions for himself, but I am still a bit upset with the decision he made. Do not get me wrong, I find tattoos to be incredible works of art. However, we are not […]
God’s Will
What is God’s will for you? I cannot answer that question, but I can tell you where to start, and that is to read the Bible. You maybe going great, another person who is telling me to read the Bible. Are you confused about what God wants for you? Are you asking the questions about […]
Dishonesty
Why are people and companies so dishonest these days? A while back my son took his car in to an automotive whom we thought we could trust. The job was too look for the cause of some noise. The mechanic thought that the noise was coming from the transmission. It was my suspicion as well, […]
Old habits
I was raised as a Christian until about the 5th or 6th grade and then something happened in my life at a church with an elder. No it was nothing abusive/sexual, but it had a profound impact on my life. Now I could continue to blame that person for what happened, but I am an […]
