So begins a hymn that I truly enjoy singing…or ruining as those in front of me may think. But the sentiment is great, because this world is NOT my home. I truly am just passing through. James assures me that my life is only a vapor, nothing compared to eternity (James 4:14). So, at best, I [...]

Occasionally, it does no harm to have a “visiting author.” This was sent to me by a friend, Henry Davenport, and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us [...]

Right. This is another topic that is hotly debated and regarding which, for some strange reason, most Christians don’t want to be counted. Time after time, I have seen situations where Christians have avoided voicing their opinion because it was not “politically correct.” Maybe one of the reasons is that the average Christian knows that [...]

It is a great thing to be able to write the articles for this blog, because I can write about whatinterests me or what catches my attention. So, here I go again. Early in the Bible, just at the very beginning, we read about marriage, and the union of male and female. That is a [...]

I had told you about my teacher whom I did not like, and what she had taught me (“My Body Is a Temple”). There is another lesson I remember from her that I will share with you. We sing a song that talks about time: Time is filled with swift transition. Naught of earth unmoved [...]

You know, it really is funny the things you remember. When I was in the second grade, I had a teacher with whom I formed a mutual dislike attraction…I could not stand the woman, and she heartily returned the emotion. But, you know, she really did teach me a few thngs. This was a public [...]

Okay, I am a Christian. I really do try to live by the things taught in the New Testament. In Romans 13:8, Paul taught us that we are to “owe no man anything.” Am I sinning if I buy my car on time, or do not pay the complete price of my home when I [...]

In Matthew 12:36, we read “And I say unto you, that every idle word that man shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the Day of Judgment.” That was Jesus speaking. If I am to give an account for anything in the Day of Judgment, I ought to be aware of that, oughtn’t I? [...]

To some, this is a big question. I, personally, love good music…or, at least, I love music that sounds good to me. But, you know, the Lord has an idea of what He likes, also. It is He Who decides what pleases Him, and what He want as part of our worship service. For example, [...]
