The Wasted Tribute
Saturday, June 28th, 2014 12:05pm
Keywords: (None)

During my bible study this morning I ran across an interesting group of verses in Romans 13, namely verses 1-7.  It talks about respecting the powers that are over you, the government, the state and so on.  You are to respect them and pay whatever tribute they ask of you, no matter what it ...

My Way or the Trust Way?
Wednesday, June 25th, 2014 12:39pm
Keywords: (None)

One of the biggest issues in Christendom today is trust.  We fail to trust God, and we fail to trust others.  I admit that not everyone deserves our absolute trust.  In fact I'd suggest that no human deserves our absolute, unquestioned trust.  However, God does.  He never fa ... View More

What Does It Mean to Judge Others?
Tuesday, June 17th, 2014 9:00am
Keywords: (None)

One of the biggest billy clubs used against Christians the world around is "Doesn't the bible say not to judge?  So why are you judging me?"  It's used to shut us up and make us go away because our lives and our testament prick their consciences and they don't like that.  But what doe ...

God's Blessings in Odd Places

Keywords: (None)

I'm not one who normally brags about stuff, but one of the things I absolutely love is auctions.  There's a bit of bargain mania mixed with the thrill of the hunt.  Well, in today's case I got both.  Plus no two auctions are the same, so you never know what you will come up with. &nbs ...

One of the most hotly debated topics in the Christian world today is giving, especially in the area of Tithing.  Some believe that you aren't required to give to God anything that He gives to you, and in some cases they don't believe you should give at all since God owns everything anyways, He ...

All Men Must Die...Or Will They?
Saturday, May 24th, 2014 9:02pm
Keywords: (None)

Here's an interesting thought for you tonight.  In Hebrews 9:27 it says, "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement."  For quite a few years that verse bothered me.  Not the fact that everyone has to die, or even the judgement, but rather that everyone ...

Safety in Christ

Keywords: (None)

Thought for the day. Anytime you feel that God can't do a miracle in your life, remember this. He parted a sea, raised the dead, and fed five thousand from a young boy's sack lunch. And if you should ever feel that God can't defend you, remember that He saved Israel by slaying 185,000 Asyrians in ON ... View More
