As we approach Christmas, I am reminded of how profoundly we have benefited from a benevolent God who admonishes us to be good people, help our fellow men, and obey the Ten Commandments. Christianity is the basis of Western Civilization and its premier achievement: science. More than 2,000 yearly celebrations of the birth of Jesus […]
The English dictionary gives several synonyms for the word “will:” such as, “choice, discretion, determination, purpose, command, direction, desire,” etc. The Greek word translated “will” in this study means “that faculty of the mind by which is determined either to do or not to do something.” All humans have a will; some strong, some weak; […]
About 3,844 years ago when the entire human race worshiped pagan gods, God called Abram (later Abraham) out from that morass of sin and promised him his progeny would become a great nation; He would bless those who bless him and curse those who curse him and all nations of the earth would be blessed […]
Past articles recapped the good news that there is no judgement against believers in Christ Jesus who were formerly sinners condemned to death, Romans 8:1 – 11; the believer’s personal relationship as children of God and so empowered to can call Him “Abba Father,” notwithstanding suffering endured while looking forward to the Glory that will […]

If we allow the hateful tyranny of sin and rebellion against Christ to be established, the folly of Covid will be only the beginning of hell on earth. Last year, with a decision as incomprehensible as it was wretched, for the first time in the Christian era, the Catholic hierarchy placed limitations on the celebration […]
For thousands of years these commandments have been the backbone of the Judeo-Christian community and have been a part of many governments throughout the world and the basis for many legal systems. Although these laws were given to Moses by God himself for the people of Israel, it’s important to note that Jesus the son […]
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” Romans 5:12. There’s been a lot of death since Adam, in fact, everyone born after Adam has died (except Enoch and Elijah). One Internet site estimates that at the […]
Some leftist government officials, in the name of trying to fight the spread of COVID-19, have come down hard on churches. For example, California Governor Gavin Newsom declared (5/7/20), “We’re looking at the science, epidemiology, looking again at frequency, duration, time, and looking at low risk-high reward, low risk-low reward.” [Emphasis added] He has defined abortion […]
An Election stalemate—so now what? What are we, as Believers in Christ, to think? Has God ‘dropped the ball,’ and decided to stop supporting President Trump? If so, this makes no sense to us. We prayed, we tried so very hard to obey in righteousness, and we also got our collective behinds out to vote. […]
