No, this post isn’t about politics. Rather, I’m talking about two facts of human existence. It’s in the Bible so it’s an absolute fact that “Each day has enough trouble of its own.” (Matthew 6:34) But also in the Bible and equally true is the fact that God’s compassions and mercies “are new every morning.” […]
No, I didn’t just see a mouse. If either I or you ever do then “EEK!” would be a very acceptable reaction. But the exclamation I’m using in this post is “EEC!” Something that pains my heart especially in the past year is the literal explosion of grift, of deception, of untruthfulness in present-day society, […]
It’s important to ask. Indeed, it’s commanded. By no less than the Lord Jesus Himself. In the greatest sermon – or oration of any kind – in human history, the well-known and much-beloved so-called “Sermon on the Mount”. “Ask…” (Matthew 7:7) Ergo, it is indeed essential to regularly ask the Lord for various things, that […]
(Or, as my perpetual poetic penchant would probably put it… “Heart of Gold but Head of Mold?”) I’m sure you know a number of people – sadly, even Christians – who have a “heart of gold” but haven’t yet discovered how to resolve the emotional and relational issues which are native to human nature, to […]
There are three kinds of people: Those who seek to put their issues/burdens onto others. (Bad) Those who seek to put their issues/burdens onto themselves. (Good – Romans 14:12) Those who seek to put others’ issues/burdens onto themselves. (Best – Galatians 6:2) (If I ever turned this post into a movie I’d call it “The Good, the […]
It seems as though “PK’s” (pastors’ kids) tend to largely end up going to one extreme or the other in life. I’m sure there are many who end up somewhere in between, in the middle, but the ones I remember most vividly either “turned out” to be very, very good or very, very bad/troubled. I’ll […]
Pun fun aside, I’ve been thin my whole life… with two exceptions. The first was when I was promoted to a cushy desk job; it wasn’t the fact that I literally sat at a desk the entire shift in that new role so much as the fact that said shifts lasted 10-12 hours, virtually the […]
As we all know, the wind is intangible… but definitely not silent! A few months ago a very rare, no, unheard-of tornado (and a DUAL tornado at that!) came within mere feet of my humble abode. At 9:00 p.m. no less. (If you want to experience something truly ethereal, have a double-tornado pass right in […]
I think it’s safe to say that virtually every believer is well aware that it’s wrong, indeed dangerous and even deadly, to judge (condemn, criticize) others. But why? Because God says so in the Bible, quite (crystal) clearly. But why does He say so, what’s behind that truth? Another truth, as is ever the case […]
Like the rest of us, you’re probably hearing that phrase being thrown around seemingly nonstop these days. For the past almost-year since the 2020 U.S. presidential election. People politically-left use it to describe the efforts and claims of former president Donald Trump and his allies that the election was “stolen”, “rigged” or a variant thereof. […]
