    Unknowns, are better for science, than repetitions of what is assumed to be known (selah)

    Hi there, So there is a philosophical problem, with Scientism. That problem, is the value Scientism gives that which it starts out with. Science starts with unknowns. Scientism, takes those unknowns and equivocates that all unknowns have the same fundamental value. That value is antecedent...

    As long as you have the cross, you have the way

    Hi there, So yes, I have been freed of a very severe bondage. As long as you have the cross, you have the way. Don't ask God to fix today, what He can fix for all time, at the end. This is the miracle of God, that what He saved you from at the end, He saved for eternity from that point on.

    My wife and I listened to this presentation by Andy Stanley on "Your Move" this a.m. the topic is just a fraction of what he covered but I think it covers it in a general sense.

    Should public officials be forgiven for past misdeeds?

    Should the past misdeeds of elected officials, or those running for office, be forgiven? I realize this is a very general question and that it does depend on the "misdeed" in question. But, there seems to be a growing lack of mercy when it comes to past failures, at least in US politics. I am...

    Who Are We Following?

    Psalm 1:1-2 ESV Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. We have the richness of God’s blessings, his...

    Trust Him Only

    What do your actions say about you? About your character? Do you say one thing, but yet do another? Do you say nice things to people but then blast them to others behind their backs? Do you tell people you love them, and then treat them with hate? Do you promise faithfulness, and yet remain...
