There are millions who would tell you they’re not concerned about the judgment to come. I have met quite a few who say “I will take my chances“. Such souls are absolutely oblivious to their own sinful nature somehow thinking 50% is good enough. Here: if you want to really see what your percentage of […]
What’s it cost to be a nice guy.? Especially if you have things extra you can give. What’s it cost to be a holy guy in Christ? Regardless, the things you used to own.
What is sinner gonna ever say to sinners that what he firmly believes in Christ might be imparted to their souls? Nothing.

What if: What if there was no such thing as PTSD? What if the memories of tragedy, self imposed or otherwise, simply didn’t exist. Who would we have become? But PTSD is excruciatingly real. Memories stand in line just waiting their turn to enraged the fire. Here’s a thought: while suffering on the inside is […]
What makes Christianity endlessly different in this world? The foundation of difference is the question of who is responsible for my salvation. Do we share even the tiniest portion of responsibility for our salvation with the living God? Thinking that we obey anything he tells us to do is to divide the responsibility beyond Christ. […]
Dear Russian leadership: I’m not a historian. I can’t unequivocally say there has never been an army like yours. So I can only understand what I see you doing by equating it with my own life, but I have to say that, even in my own life, I do not see the likeness of your […]
Something to nag at your memory for pondering: I have said that the name of God is far more than saying God. It is everything he has done everything he is doing and everything he will do for eternity. No man can possibly speak that, so he gave us a name we could speak. That […]
sight Sound Taste Smell Emotional Atmospheric Anything can bring association between the now and what was. It’s sudden and it’s strong. Those terrible memories you have about terrible things you have done, why are they the ones who are predominant in such memory recollection? Surely you have a great many pleasant memories.

Black, gray, white. Monotone, color, light. This world cannot write any story from heaven. It can only speculate, suspicion, imagine, the things of God in Christ. You want to know what’s sad is? All the stories of this world will gather together before the throne of God. They will see the Christ of God and […]
I’ve been tutored by some fine faithful men in my past, and I’m grateful for their teaching on the Bible as well as their instructions in how to study the Bible. But as I matured in my faith and continue in my walk with the Lord I’ve come to rely solely on His teaching. This is what is referred to as spiritual discernment. The Holy Spirit is more than willing, even eager, to place God’s truth into every believer. But when that believer puts up a stone wall because of presuppositions and prejudices the Holy Spirit becomes greatly hampered.

What kind of ‘god’ is Satan? A false god! Does the Watchtower claim, if I do not join them in hymning Satan’s real deity, I’m denying he exists? Let me make haste to say Satan is a real being…but he is not a real god, no more than the prince of Tyre and the king of Babylon vainly imagined themselves to be. The Watchtower Society are not the first he has convinced of his real deity; he has followers aplenty: both men and demons, the powers of the air, follow in his train: “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:…” (Ephesians 2:2). But hail him as god all they will, all demons and men his children, that will not make him a god in truth, no more than will worshipping king Nebuchadnezzar make him what he madly claimed to be.
