Well, it’s that time again. You know what I mean. Time to rend the heart with resolutions for a new year…resolutions which we forget before they have fairly begun. Nevertheless, it is a tradition which we undertake. So, I thought I might try it again. I think this list will help me.

In July, I had a total replacement of my left knee. Then, on December 8, I had a total replacement of the right knee. As you can imagine, I have had lots of time to lay around and think. As anyone would, I think, I have prayed for a speedy recovery, with as little pain [...]

“Slavery” is such a bad word. We don’t like the word because we see slavery as degrading and an insult to human dignity. Indeed it is, but each of us is a slave. That’s not my opinion; it’s a fact stated by the Holy Spirit of God.

You’ve heard of them. Ever wonder where the list comes from? (And as an aside, I reserve the right to end any sentence in a preposition, no matter how many English-language gurus there are who read this. If you want to tell me I shouldn’t do it, leave a comment. But I digress…)

See if any of this sounds familiar…
Many church leaders say the church “no longer reaches deep into the human situation.”
Radical young theologians want to abandon the word “God” because church-going millions use it as a nickname for superstition.

Have you ever used the word, “amen?” What does it mean? Many today think that it means, “Okay, that’s all. That is the finish of what I was saying.” Really?

Leo Boles said, “Marriage is an institution ordained of God for the honor and happiness of mankind, in which one man and one woman enter into a bodily and spiritual union, pledging each to the other mutual love, honor, fidelity, sympathy, forebearance, and comradship, such as should assure an unbroken continuance of their wedlock [...]

I think this is a question everyone has asked. We wonder if He really knows us, or really cares for us. Is it really possible to have a relationship with Him?
