    There are times here of late when I am getting calls at all hours from telemarketers. I try to be kind but also I have stopped listening to their sales pitch and just politely hang up while they are still talking. On the other hand if it is early in the morning I can reply…

    How many of us have often found ourselves running late for work. A red light stops us and we take it personal as those some unseen person switched the light to make you late for work. Someone busy on their cell phones does not realize the light has changed and they just sit there. Sometimes…

    All of us are here either by design (purpose) or by accident. The Bible opens up by showing us the very laws which scientist cannot disprove. In the beginning (time) God (mind) created (force) the heavens and the earth (matter). God makes the claim that He was the One who began life on this planet.…

    A piece of fabric that we call a flag or a song composed of certain words being called an anthem does not define what they really are. The fabric of material and a song is both a reflection of where we came from and where we are today. I know of no country which can…

    Our responsibility is to teach all men the truth of God (Mark 16:15). We are to do so in a spirit of love for their souls (Eph. 4:15). When we speak or strive to teach people it must be our desire to tell them exactly what God has revealed (I Peter 4:11). We never want…

    The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge (Prov. 1:7). We encounter someone who has never known the truth. We then would take great care to explain to them the love of God. For some the idea that God would love them seems impossible to accept. This would be due in part to…

    There is a discussion about the wrath of God found in Romans chapter 1. When we come to verse 18 the wrath of God will be poured out on all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men. Each person will one day stand before God to give account for how they have lived their lives (Rom. 14:12).…

    The above statement is found in I Peter 3:15. The Christian is to make a determined effort to ensure the truth that God rules in his heart. Jesus condemned those who came with their mouth and lips to honor God while their heart was far from Him (Matt. 15:8). When the Lord God rules in…
