Shadrach, Meshach, and Abe had it tough too. Through their struggle God called a heathen king out, and ultimately through him brought about the restoration of Israel. It is worth it to take a stand for our beliefs I think.

Hello from the bug infested swamps of Georgia. May the Lord bless you and keep your pelt unpunctured.

If I may, Numbers 30:2-14 As far as I know, the only ones who can break a vow is a father or a husband if he hears of it and disapproves. Matthew 5:33-37 seems to say that we oughtn’t make vows at all, but rather to just keep our word. Before I understood this I made a vow to the Lord. On...

The problem is that the play by play, step by step, instructions weren’t included in biblical references to baptism leaving room for people to argue over it. They do seem to enjoy arguing. All I see that is certain from the Bible is that baptism as part of the Christian process involves water...

I live in a fantasy world of kings and princes; strange beasts, and evil serpents; a place where people walk on water and a place where people call on the name of the Lord to heal the sick. It is the Kingdom of God, and a kingdom serves at the behest of its king. So, all I need to know is that...

Matthwe 3:13; Mark 16:15,16; Acts 2:38 The obedient ones get dunked John 17:22,23 What hinders may it be removed, ne.

I am comforted by the Book of revelation.

The structure or process of becoming a Christian is like this: when we were born a piece of our soul was dead because Adam, the first man, listened to his wife instead of God. He disobeyed God and so killed the part of his soul that properly connects to God. God’s justice demanded that mankind...

Christianity101: Christianity is like sky diving. Others can tell you all about how cool it is, but until you jump, you really have no idea, and you have to go all the way; you can’t just put one foot out the plane and wiggle it. Like most things it also has rules you must obey if you want it to...

My son was diagnosed with moderate to severe ADD. He was born with a masters degree in naughtiness. Seriously, he was an artist. I, therefore, had to be very careful to ensure that the punishments I devised for him were for him and reflected a properly measured response rather than a venting of...

Heb 12:11, prov 13:24, rev 3:19 Prov 22:6

Another story: A few years ago, I had a wild dream. In the dream I lived for months. The entire time I was in the dream I felt like I was not where I was supposed to be. When I woke up, the feeling that I had to leave was palpable. I was staying in a hotel on the side of a mountain in the blue...

The Lord has touched my life many times over the years. One of my great shames is that I took him for granted. His word says that he is not far from the fatherless; maybe that is why he has been so near, so helpful. In my youth I begged him for his help because I was so isolated, so broken. I...

A few decades ago a bunch of psycho-ologists decided that “spanking” was abusive and began advocating that parents should not spank their kids, ever. Now, we have a generation that tears down national monuments, overruns police precincts, defunds the police, and runs amok in the streets with...

Along time ago, in a State far, far away, I worked the dark side, 11 to 7. Once, on my day off in the early afternoon, I was sitting down at my computer getting ready to save the universe from ugly alien scumbags … again, and then the Lord spoke to me. There was no voice. The words were just...
