Someone said something to me and I assumed I understood, until I saw what they actually meant. I was given a message that made sense, but it was not specific or in context, so my understanding was incomplete. I could have speculated about various details and meanings of the message, but a complete picture would… Continue reading The Revelation
Truth of Life Here
There is a central theme in the "Walking Dead" TV series that is consistently true in society today - Everything and everybody is trying to survive. We take steps to maintain our life among the many things that threaten us. However, this is only a perception or notion that makes sense in a fantasy world… Continue reading Truth of Life Here
The Global Warming Hoax
In the last few years a number of scientists and politicians have warned about the earth warming unnaturally and the catastrophes that will occur as a result. Some politicians recently have suggested that the earth will be destroyed within just 12 years. As many of these people are from the fascist left it is not… Continue reading The Global Warming Hoax
For Cause and Country
For Cause and Country, written by Eric Jacobson, is one of the very best books on the Civil War Battle of Franklin, TN. It is an excellent read for those interested in the Civil War in general or the Battle of Franklin. It is a thoroughly-researched book and gives an excellent battle narrative including… Continue reading For Cause and Country
Bully
We typically think of a bully as someone who unjustly mistreats weaker people. Most of us have encountered a bully somewhere along life's pathway. I realized two groups of bullies in today's society that may be obscure. First, bullies in community sports. These are teams of bullies who are very good at their chosen sport,… Continue reading Bully
Authority Over Earth
First, we must cling to truth, otherwise we will be tossed about like waves on the sea. A person or nation who abandons their identity is lost. Relationships, character, truth, justice, liberty, faith and purpose are the things that give life meaning and substance. Secondly, we must understand that mankind is not the ruler of… Continue reading Authority Over Earth
The Nazis Among Us
Many people since World War II have questioned how Hitler could have carried out the holocaust. How could the nation that produced Luther and had a long christian history have so willingly aided Hitler, including the professing church in most cases. The answer is the fallen nature of man and the inherent wickedness that resides… Continue reading The Nazis Among Us
Hind’s Feet
"When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops. Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall… Continue reading Hind’s Feet
Actual Historical Events
I just clicked open my Bible App and started reading: Peter was arrested and put under the guard of twelve soldiers, bound with two chains, behind a locked iron gate. An angel appeared and led Peter out of his cell, chains dropped off, guards saw nothing, and the iron gate opened by itself. I believe… Continue reading Actual Historical Events
Faith and Power
As a small child I remembered two scriptural truths that concerned me. The first was Jesus is coming back to earth. "For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man." (Matt. 24: 27). I couldn't specify the reference, but I… Continue reading Faith and Power
Stan and Ollie
I recently went to see the movie, Stan and Ollie. It was about the last years of the legendary comedy team, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. They were one of the top box office draws from the 1920's to mid 1940's after which their popularity went into decline. The film focuses on a last-gasp music… Continue reading Stan and Ollie
Men Created Equal
These famous words from the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America were written by Thomas Jefferson. John Adams and others certainly had significant influence in its creation, but his choice of words stand upon a greater premise of the hand of Providence at work. I watched part of Ken Burns film, "Thomas… Continue reading Men Created Equal
Wisdom in Two Men
I had two uncles, one on my father's side another on my mother's side, who epitomized wisdom to me. My father's people were from the western part of the state where the land was flat and cotton was king. My mother's family was from the east where the hills and hollows made good bottom land… Continue reading Wisdom in Two Men
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
