The “last days” spans the centuries between Jesus’ first visit to earth all the way up to today. The event that will close the last days is the Second Coming of Christ. I imagine that every generation has wondered if theirs was the last of the last days. Obviously, we are closer to His return […]
Our last study addressed thanksgiving for the measure of faith God apportions to members of Christ’s Body, i.e., those who are Called Saints, Romans 12:3 – 8. As we approach the day when many throughout the world celebrate the birth of Jesus, it’s good to contemplate His faith and God’s provision for eternal life; how […]
Be careful what church you go to. Some well-known pastors teach that God actually ordained sin to enter the world so He could show off His grace in forgiving a small percentage of people — and they teach this with a straight face. In fact, they teach that all the evil and horrific things that […]
I started thinking about mercy when, in my daily reading in Exodus 25, I read about the Ark of the Covenant. The Ark in the Most Holy Place was a box made of wood overlayed with gold. Inside it was the law God gave to Moses. The lid of the Ark was made of solid […]

It’s heartbreaking to see pictures of homes perilously hanging over empty spaces, the sand and dirt under them having been washed away. The recent hurricanes that have pummeled Florida’s coastlines are a clear demonstration of what Jesus said at the end of His sermon, “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and puts them […]
Whenever I watch Jeopardy, I’m always amazed at how much some people know. Not only that they know so much, but that they have such quick recall. Even when I know the answer once or twice, I’m usually still reading the clue when one of the contestants is giving the proper response. I wonder if […]
In our country, we are witnessing the consequences of having raised a generation of young people to believe that there is no God, and that everything has resulted from random molecular mutations. According to evolution, a bird and a bison share a common ancestor somewhere on the evolutionary tree. Such foolishness! Without people having a […]
