Trust in God

We live by faith, not by sight.  (II Corinthians 5:7) Have you ever thought of that?  Isn’t that a truly great thought?    It is very similar to  Faith is the  substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  (Hebrews 11:1)  Faith is not something we can touch, taste, hear, or see, but [...]

Is the Bible Alive?

Recently, I heard again that old excuse, “Well, the Bible is dead!  Why should I follow it?”  Some people just want any excuse not to believe the Bible, and they will follow any lie that helps them in their disbelief.  But is the Bible a dead letter?  Let’s examine the evidence. Let the Bible defend [...]

The Pope Excuses the Jews

So the Pope has exonerated the Jews for the death of Jesus.  Yes, I do have something to say about that. In the first place, not being Catholic, I doubt the ability of the Pope to speak for the Lord.  I respect the Pope, but I do not consider him to be the ultimate representative [...]

God Is Our Refuge

God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in time of trouble. (Psalm 46:1) Have you ever thought about that? How many times have you been in a turmoil and forgot that God has promised to be there? He has said “Call on Me in the day of trouble; and I will deliver [...]

Be Faithful in Prayer

Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life. ( Revelation 2:10 ) There are many times in this life when our faith is put to the test — times that we may even feel that God has abandoned us because a prayer isn’t answered the way [...]

A Love Letter From God

God has written us a love letter; it is called “The Bible.”  I have taken the words of that letter and rearranged them to make this letter.  It is still from God, for it is His Words. My Dear Child, (That’s You), You may not know me, but I know everything about you. (Ps 139:1)I [...]

Are You Lonesome?

You know, it really is surprising when and where you can get inspiration for a blog article. I was thinking of an old Elvis Presley song the other day, and a devotional by my friend, Henry, brought to mind just the thing I wanted to say to you this week. The lyrics of the Elvis [...]

Is Your God Dumb, or Just Weak?

I am hearing things today that truly amaze me. I am hearing people say that there is no absolute truth. I am hearing that we cannot know for absolute certainty that any given thing is absolutely right or absolutely wrong. I am hearing that many, including those who claim to be Christians, no longer believe [...]

False Teachers

Are there people in the world who teach things not in accordance with God’s will?  Are there those who teach error that could cause one to be lost?  Are there “false teachers” in the world today?  Does it make any difference what we believe, as long as we are sincere in our belief?  The answer [...]

The faith of Jesus

Not faith in Jesus. The faith of Jesus. Did Jesus have faith? Did He need faith? How does the Spirit describe faith? Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1) That’s one of those types of statements that to me is like describing grace as “unmerited [...]
