I’ve been writing several blogs about wisdom recently. We’ve seen that God’s wisdom is vastly different than worldly wisdom, seeking godly wisdom is the way of loving ourselves, and wisdom has nothing to do with one’s intelligence. Here is what Solomon had to say about wisdom in Proverbs (in no particular order). Avoids the wrong […]
As people awoke that fateful day of the Deluge, most of them thought it just was going to be another average day. Jesus said that in the same way, most people will be oblivious to His return. “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son […]
When I was young, I hoped to find a pirate’s map to a buried treasure. I don’t know how many other kids shared that dream, but I know that many adults now have the dream of winning the Powerball Lottery and retiring early. You’d think that possessing millions of dollars will set a person for […]
We often attribute many of our frequently used phrases to Shakespeare. And that is certainly justified.

In judgment, God told David that the son of that tryst would die shortly after birth. The Bible records David’s pleading with God […]
The election faceoff has now reached a fever pitch. All of the players on the chessboard are in place, and we see true evil lining up against the truth of God and His Holy Bible. Doesn’t get any more intense than this for our Country—for this is indeed the last stand for God’s Truth and […]
We romanticize Americans as being rugged individuals who pick-themselves-up-by-their-bootstraps. It may be romantic, until you can’t get yourself back up after a fall. You’ve seen the commercials for the necklace with a button to push to notify emergency services when you’ve fallen and can’t get up. My mom had one. It gave us kids a […]
When you think of the Bible’s Love Story, what comes to mind? Many people will respond, “Song of Solomon.” There’s nothing wrong with that choice, but I would like to suggest that there is an even better love story recorded in the book of Hosea. If this short book is not familiar to you, don’t […]
