Thoughts on Turning 250
A few years from now the United States will be turning 250—in 2026. I remember when the United States turned 200 in 1976. I do not think I will be around to see it turn 300. I think that the world is a VERY different place than what it was
Sir Thomas More
A little while ago, I finished the series, The Tudors on Netflix (originally from Showtime). Honestly, I think it is such a sad chapter of English history. Truly, I found it akin to Penthouse’s Caligula (something I watched a long time ago and I am NOT recommending). Caligula is another
What does it mean when God says you are saved?
by James Rondinone July 28, 2023 Have you ever wished you could be delivered from something that appeared to have no end? Here’s an article about such an event. BLACK DEATH The Black Death was a devastating global epidemic of bubonic plague that struck Europe and Asia in the mid-1300s.
SNOWFLAKES
I was listening to the radio and I heard a sermon by JD Greear (JD Greear Ministries) regarding how the current culture is leaving many hopeless due to it being evil and godless. Now that is nothing special, in and of itself. You do not have to go far to
Casting Away Evil Spirits: Is it Biblical Today?
by Mark Slaney March 2, 2023 Over recent years, there has been much controversy on whether God has given us the power to cast out evil spirits. Ministry leaders, like Morris Cerullo and Richard Roberts, among others in the evangelical community, have been under attack and accused of heresy for
I Did Not Get All A’s
Many people I know and grew up with, got all A’s. Their lives were full of academic achievement, careers, promotions, and successful relationships with beautiful women. Mine was not. I trusted Jesus and worked very hard to get C’s and B’s, I got fired from jobs, I got rejected by
What Should Determine the Way a Believer Should Think, Speak, and Act?
What Should Determine the Way a Believer Should Think, Speak, and Act? Should Christians follow societal norms or God’s norms in the way they think, speak, and act? This is the dilemma facing many Christians. We have become born-again. We have received the Holy Spirit into our lives, and subsequently, a new nature. Eventually, we find out that the way we have been thinking about ourselves, about others, and the circumstances of life are diametrically opposed to the way God would have us to think.
Why I am Not a Baha’i
Allow me to share with you for my own view of what the Baha’i faith is all about and include a couple videos that will explain more about them. I also want to share with you how I diverge from the Baha’i faith. I hope you can use this to
Is It True That God Has Made Me Like This?
As I was working on this study, I took a break and turned on my favorite morning news station. The panel had a guest who claimed to be a Christian and disclosed that he was married to someone of the same gender. He went on to say something like, if anyone has an issue with this, then go to God because He made me like this. This resonated with me in the sense that this statement sounded right, and I’m sure those that listened to it agreed, but I have learned over the years that Scripture should give us the answers to any question or comment that has any connection to do with God. So, let’s see if what was said is indeed supported by God’s Word.
How Do I Fulfill My Spiritual Destiny?
Thank God that our sinful inclinations and tendencies no more define us. In Christ, we are no longer who we used to be. By means of the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, we can think anew and experience the anointing which breaks the yoke.
