Good morning everyone, 1 Corinthians 4:20- For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power. From an unbelieving perspective our faith many times can seem to be nothing out of the ordinary. In fact most of the time we might agree that when we think of God’s power and even hear […]

“Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.” So they say. But imagine if you were to get a bitter divorce from your husband who gave it to you. Would you still keep your ring? “Of course! I certainly wouldn’t give it back to him. I would sell it and cash it in,” is probably what you […]

James 4:4-You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. I think definitions that the history of some churches have had when describing how a Christian should not be "worldly" can at […]

One of the joys of being a Christian is seeing how everything is connected. The things I used to think were random and irrelevant, I’m finding coherent. For example, why are Christians against racial discrimination and yet they oppose homosexual marriage? Isn’t that inconsistent? If Christians are against racial discrimination, shouldn’t they also be against […]

When you have tasted the world’s best and you are still hungry, then what? Having lived in this world for over 40 years and sufficiently having traveled to various parts, I came to the conclusion, like many before me, “there is nothing new under the sun.” “All new news is old news happening to new […]

Good morning everyone, 1 Corinthians 3:3-4-for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? 4 For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not being merely human? Do you […]

I once knew a man who embezzled money from church and yet was very active in church. As a matter of fact, he was one the most active and generously giving person to the church. And because of his involvement in all facets of services to the church, no one really questioned his lifestyle. I’m […]

Good morning everyone, John 14:21-Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him." One of the things my older daughter does is run upstairs and puts on one of her […]

Familiarity breeds contempt. This is especially true when it comes to our salvation. Because many of us grew up hearing about it, it no longer has the impact it should have. But perhaps the fault does not lie so much with the listeners. Perhaps it is the ones who are delivering the message about the […]

I have to admit that I like war movies. Such as Saving Private Ryan, The Flag of Our Fathers, Iwo Jima, Schindler’s List, The Pianist, etc. I also like watching documentary on wars. The closer to reality the movie or the documentary, the better in my mind. Why? It brings me reality. Although the stories […]
