Have you ever been confused? I have, many times. Sometimes, it was what to say in a delicate situation. Sometimes, where to go or how to get there. In school, I often had tests (multiple choice) where I could not decide which answer was correct. I was confused. Why? Because I had not studied, or [...]

We all know what Scripture is, right? It is the collections of writings that we call today the Bible, both the Old Testament and the New Testament. But whee does it come from and of what use is it? All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for [...]

They maintain that God promised the nation of Israel that they were His people forever, and that has not changed. Is that what the New Testament teaches?

My youngest grandson recently asked me why there are so many different churches. He noted that they all teach different things, so how could he tell which was right? Did it make a difference which one he attended? Really, how many churches did Jesus make? Those are all good questions. All valid. Rather than point [...]

Romans 10:1-3 Brethren, my heart’s desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

I know the controversy over the Shroud of Turin has settled down to some extent, but the value of doing a blog is that I get to sometimes write about what interests me. For many years, I have followed this controversy and it interests me, so here we are. The Shroud of Turin is a [...]

While the Ten Commandments were a guide line and a standard for the Jews of the Old Testament, they are not, as such, applicable to the Christian today. It is true that they are all repeated in the New Testament, except for the commandment to keep the Sabbath, and we follow them because they are [...]
