Walk Away – Defuse an Argument
The best way to clean up after an explosion is to prevent it from happening. It’s true in the physical world and in the home. If you can stop the bomb from exploding you will be in much better shape. Sometimes the best way to prevent a painful destructive argument is to prevent it from […]
Love Locks
Here’s a cute story that I came across. It’s about a place in Serbia where young women take their romantic commitments very seriously. I’ll let you read the story and view the pictures about the Bridge of Love. I do wonder what would happen if people in our country tool love as seriously as these […]
Is There A Middle Ground Between Heaven and Hell?
This is a question that pops up in some form from time to time. The questioner wants to know what will happen to people who have never heard of God, Jesus Christ, the Bible and salvation. I am going to try and offer a reasonable answer to the question. Let me say in the opening […]
Can Money Make You Happy?
There’s a new story from FOX DC which suggests that more money can really make you happier. It’s a large study of 136,000 people from around the world.

Romans 6, Part Four (Romans 6:12-13)
The crucial challenge for Christians is to live righteously. As a chosen race and a holy nation( 1 Peter 2:9) we should live, act and think differently from the world. It is not always easy but it is possible. In Romans 6:12-13 we see the call to godly living. “Let not sin therefore reign in […]
Church Division – Part 1
Church division is never good. It follows discord, discontent, poor fellowship and sin. While it may be necessary to remove the disorderly from fellowship (1 Corinthians 5:1-2; Romans 16:17; Matthew 18:17 ) the roots which caused that removal are sad. Like surgery, division may be necessary but it is never good. Paul addressed church division […]

Father’s Are Needed
I awoke Sunday morning to an awful set of articles that were published on Father’s Day and which bashed and smashed fatherhood in general. First came a story in the Washington Post about a father, suffering with cancer, trying to ensure his daughters are well cared for by a team of Dads who will carry […]
