Thanks to the explosion of cable television channels, shows from decades ago are readily available to entirely new generations. Including one titled Father Knows Best. While the producers of that show probably didn’t realize it, they actually affirmed one of the most basic but bedrock biblical doctrines. As punctiliously and properly propounded in a previous post, […]
That’s a famous quote. I read years ago that it was the motto of the French Foreign Legion but Google doesn’t indicate such but in any case I’m going to use it in a different way for this post. Our lives have so many moving parts. Getting to your job on time, performing well, picking […]
I suppose any day would be fantastic for this post but I can’t think of a better one than New Year’s Day, January 1. Words can’t even begin to adequately express just how humbling it is to be able to have made these videos nor how exciting it is to post them, to share this […]
I’ve figured out THE MOST IMPORTANT action to do every day, indeed, every hour, i.e., continually: simply to FOCUS on the Lord Jesus Christ. Hebrews 12:2 puts it like this: “FIXING OUR EYES on JESUS, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and […]
I don’t watch much TV, primarily due to a lack of time (after all, the ENTIRE BIBLE isn’t going to MEMORIZE ITSELF in my head =) but also a lack of desire since that time is so much better used, spent, “redeemed” (Ephesians 5:16) in other ways (e.g., reading and studying and especially memorizing the […]
Ah, Christmas. My hands and feet definitely say “summer” but my mind and soul agree completely with the famous musical sobriquet that this is indeed “the most wonderful time of the year.” But WHY? Is it because of all the presents or decorations or universal good cheer? Or not having to go to school or […]
If this online journal, this blog, were a movie, the Lord Jesus Christ and God the Father and the Holy Spirit in general and the Bible in specific (just look at all the bold text up and down every page and you’ll see what I mean) would be the star. I suppose I’d be an […]
This post is in the same vein as a recent one. (And I elaborate even further in a subsequent one… maybe we’ll make it a recurring series.) Remember when we were kids (and ever since) when someone would express an opinion with which we agree and we’d say “Me too!” (at least before it took […]
You might think the next two words of the title would be “to tango” – and given how bitterly divided society and politics have become, that would make a lot of sense. And indeed I intend to address that in a future post but, as promised in the previous post, this one is about love. The […]
The previous post included these two verses: “But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary of doing good.” (2 Thessalonians 3:13) “And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary. So then, WHILE WE HAVE OPPORTUNITY, let us do good to all […]
