How Yeshua Looked
There are no images or specific description of Yeshua, but the Bible tells us something about His countenance. "He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground.

Mind Your Own Business
I was an adolescent when I was listening to my Mother and Father commending a practice seen in our friend and pastor. They agreed that he never spoke about a third party and this way avoided gossip, inappropriate disclosure, and presumption. Somehow, hearing that conversation impacted me deeply, so I decided to implement this practice.… Continue reading Mind Your Own Business

That’s Hard to Believe
This is a phrase we have all uttered upon hearing certain tales. My wife and I have discovered that movies based on true stories are usually our favorites because truth is stranger than fiction. Men may be particularly interested in hearing and telling stories that make credibility difficult to attain, but I'm not talking about… Continue reading That’s Hard to Believe
True Confession
The Bible teaches and proves that nothing is impossible with God. (Mark 10:27). Evolutionists believe anything is possible with enough time and chance. Flying enough flags for long enough will cause the threads of a flag to unravel and re-weave itself into a three-piece suit. Given enough time a sunken ship will dissolve and rust down… Continue reading True Confession

Feelings Show Our Beliefs
When we examine our feelings, or we cry out in emotion overflowing from feelings of hurt, anguish, disappointment, loss, etc., we are expressing what we believe to be true.
