Hypocrisy Redefined

I noticed an article with an astonishing title/accusation against the Vice President, charging he and his wife of moral hypocrisy.  I looked for the source and noted that it was from a discredited fascist source.  However, what was the basis for this accusation?  The writer stated that Mrs. Pence taught art at a private christian… Continue reading Hypocrisy Redefined

Sodomite Revenge

The wicked shaming of Karen Pence for teaching art part-time at a Christian school that adheres to biblically rooted views of marriage arises directly from the Supreme Court's equally wicked decision to legalize same-sex marriage in Obergefell vs. Hodges.  As pointed out in William McGurn's recent Wall Street Journal article, when Obergefell was decided it… Continue reading Sodomite Revenge

Little Girl Blue

I have long been a fan of Karen Carpenter's singing.  She has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard and I loved many of her songs.  The book "Little Girl Blue" by Randy Schmidt is probably the best biography of Karen Carpenter, the lead singer of the Carpenters.  The book is based… Continue reading Little Girl Blue

Splendor of the Savior

Love, that undefinable, but familiar sense, state of bliss, connection, sacrifice, divine action, desire, favor and emotion is what brought Him to this earth.  He left incomprehensible beauty and glory in order to redeem a people and nations from captivity, wrath, and the curse of death.  Love was His way and means to accomplish every… Continue reading Splendor of the Savior

From The Pig Pen

I started a conversation with the knowledge of how many are my failings, even intentional sin.  A question arose, Do I attempt to relate to you as perfect justice, pure righteousness, and the Almighty?  A reply followed, If so, can you know me as I fully am, your Father in Heaven?  Would you try to… Continue reading From The Pig Pen

All You Have

Most of us are surrounded with things we want and need, yet things needed are really very few.  Still, we are ever looking for more, newer, the latest fashion, new technology.  There is nothing inherently wrong with seeking improved or new things, as necessary, but there is great distraction in our misdirected  desires and wishes… Continue reading All You Have

Redeem The Time

Ephesians 5: 15-16 states "Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil." (NIV).  The KJV says, "See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil;" (KJV).  Many versions keep… Continue reading Redeem The Time

Throw Out The Fleece

"And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said, Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by… Continue reading Throw Out The Fleece

Believers in Truth

He had an aggressive attitude and seemed unreasonably angry.  I was mindful of scripture that says bless those who mistreat you, with that in mind I replied to him, "Bless you" and explained the circumstances that brought about our discussion.  He took great offense at the words, bless you and made a complaint to my… Continue reading Believers in Truth

New Year Promises

No cliché is more consistent and confirming of our weakness than failed New Years resolutions.  Rather than hope for a trim waist, less bad habits, or more healthy behavior, I encourage you to simply accept the truth that is your's in Yeshua Messiah, (Jesus Christ in Hebrew).  No resolutions are necessary, these truths are all resolved,… Continue reading New Year Promises

Believers Driving Cabs

The skies were sunny amid a light warm breeze as we disembarked our cruise ship.  At port in Roatan we caught a cab to the West End beach.  Our driver was very friendly and shared with us how many believers were on the island in various churches. As we drove by the small houses most… Continue reading Believers Driving Cabs

War, Politics, Football and Economics

I explained and pointed out the omission in the computation of gain very concisely to my Manager, "All the items valued and included in the asset and equity basis are not represented in the sales price."  He understood and acknowledged my concern.  So, we arranged a meeting with the valuation experts.  I pointed out the… Continue reading War, Politics, Football and Economics

Joy

Most people have probably heard of C. S. Lewis, the famous Christian apologist writer.  The book "Joy" by Abigail Santamaria is an excellent biography of Joy Davidman, C. S. Lewis's wife.  Based on some extraordinary new documents as well as extensive research by the author it brings a full portrait of Davidman for the first… Continue reading Joy

Is America Worth Saving

The Democrat media and it's devoted followers believe America is not worth saving.  If they did, they would support the traditions, principles, laws, and people who made it what it is.  No, they have nothing but contempt for most Americans. Hillary Clinton coined their motto, "they are a basket of deplorables, racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic,… Continue reading Is America Worth Saving

Opposed to the Truth

"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.  People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form… Continue reading Opposed to the Truth

God’s Leading Presence

A pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night was there for the Israelites.  Where is the presence of the Lord today and what assurance and leading is given to the people of God today?  From the beginning God desired relationship with mankind.  He walked in the garden with Adam and… Continue reading God’s Leading Presence

Silent Night

The Christmas Carol, Silent Night, was first sung on Christmas Eve of 1818.  The assistant priest at the newly established parish of St. Nicholas in Oberndorf Salzburg Austria was Joseph Mohr.  Earlier in the day he had handed over to the organist Franz Gruber a poem he had written in 1816 with the request to write… Continue reading Silent Night

Awakening Mankind

There is a renewal coming that will bring the nations into a new era of peace and favor.  Throughout history, evil, war, and poverty have had the spotlight and microphone of the world's stage, until a natural disaster occurred to temporarily switch the theme from acts of man, to acts of God.  Even so, there… Continue reading Awakening Mankind

Bethlehem

"But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting." Micah 5:2. "And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth,… Continue reading Bethlehem

Crisis of Speech

The Democrat media pushes their partisan agenda of division, victim-hood, multiculturalism, anti-faith, humanism, socialism and more in a subtle manner, (with ever-decreasing subtlety), in order to transform America into their form of fascist socialism.  They portray their positions as main stream, the majority view, and distort the image of their opponents.  In this they utilize lies… Continue reading Crisis of Speech

Away in a Manger

Each year we see the familiar nativity scene during the Christmas season.  It is a reminder of the "reason for the season" which is the birth of our Savior.  I have fond memories as a child of being involved in my Christmas church play about Christ's birth in the manger (always cast as one of… Continue reading Away in a Manger

Truth or Consequences

I have seen and heard some ridiculous suggestions coming from Hollywood, major media corporations, and even politicians.  These deceitful organizations assert and portray Christians and Churches as the most dangerous, aggressive, intolerant, militant, bigots in all the earth.  This is not true today, nor down through history.  Even though there have been evil people who… Continue reading Truth or Consequences

Amidst all your activity, hurry, start as you are, don't look back, press on toward your destiny.  Lay aside all questioning, light the spark of courage within, speak words of life and hope, cast off doubts and find renewal and strength.  Victory is possible.  Get an overcoming vision, fix your mind upon the goal resolute… Continue reading Young Person!

Hate Speech

During an Anti-Defamation League event on Monday, Apple CEO Tim Cook advocated for censorship of "those who push hate [and] division" across his company's digital platforms.  He advocated censoring viewpoints that, in his opinion, are  pushing "hate, division, and violence." The problem with this censorship policy is the question of who is going to determine… Continue reading Hate Speech

Fear Not

Psalm 118:6-7 “The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid.  What can man do to me?  The Lord is with me; he is my helper.” Psalm 34:4 “I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me.  He freed me from all my fears.” Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in… Continue reading Fear Not
