6 Ways to Change Social Media
Something has got to give with social media. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more are at the heart of the discord in our country. Sadly Christians are prolifically spreading rumors and outright falsehoods. Others do it too, but we should be better than that. I want to use my little platform to call for a commitment […]
“to no one’s regret”
Samuel tried to tell them. Israel wouldn’t listen The Lord tried to tell them, but they wouldn’t listen to him either. God’s people demanded a king other than God. They wanted to be like everybody else. It was a disaster waiting to explode upon the chosen people. They got their way and their just desserts […]
Abortion: A Right to Whose Body?
The pro-life, pro-abortion debate is again center stage because of politics. It should have never left the front page. Americans abort almost a million children every year. That’s a tragedy beyond imagination. Yet it is accepted as a part of our society. In time, we pray that historians will list abortion among the great civil […]
Abortion: 862,320
Let this sink in… 862,320 dead. 862,320 people dead in one year. That’s five times as many deaths as we have had in the U.S. from COVID19. 61,628,584 dead. Let that sink in…61,628,584 people since 1973. That’s three times as many as died in World War 2. It’s twice as many as the population of […]
Kingdom of God 3
“And the Lord said to Samuel, “Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them.” 1 Samuel 8:7 The spiritual wisdom of Israel was so deranged that they could not see the depth of their […]
Kingdom of God
“My kingdom is not of this world…” John 18:36 There is much confusion surrounding the kingdom of God and the kingdoms of earth. Christians, citizens of God’s kingdom, live in and under earthly governments. But just because God approves of earthly governance does not mean those governments are identical, or even parallel to, the kingdom […]
Why Aren’t You Praying More?
Prayer has always been the centerpiece of any relationship with God. Jesus, and his forerunner John, were so given to prayer that Jesus’ disciples asked him to teach them how to pray (Luke 11:1). There was a time when prayer was deeply ingrained in the American mindset but that is just a distant memory. There […]
Are There Ups and Downs in the Christian’s Life?
Yes. Christians have good days and bad days. You are not saved one minute and lost the next, but your commitment varies. You may be strong on Sunday and struggling by Wednesday. Even the most devout Christian you know is up one day and down the next. Think of a roller coaster. You ascend to […]
God Is Here
“For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them” (Romans 1:19) Easter marked what many hold to be the holiest weekend of the year. The Jews celebrate Passover this weekend, and Christians remember that Jesus’ crucifixion was on the Friday before Passover with his resurrection […]
What You’ve Learned from a Teeny, Tiny Bug
You are seeing God’s wisdom during this pandemic. Like Elijah, we look for God in the great and bombastic moments of life but find him in the lesser things, the small, the tiny, the microscopic. Elijah heard the wisdom of God in the sound of a low whisper (1 Kings 19:9-18). Sometimes the biggest lessons […]
