I have met people who are afraid, or intimidated, by reading the Bible. Whether they think they won’t understand what it means, it has too much information, or something else, they refuse to read it. The Life presents select topics in a way that helps get around these fears. Addressing the life we find in […]
At times, I wonder about small differences in things and words. For example, daze vs doze. Now, I don’t wonder enough to research it. It is just one of those things I wonder about for a minute or two, then go on my way. Sadly, the same concept applies to spiritual questions. I’ll hear or […]
Saying our faith is dirty doesn’t sound good, we want to be clean. Sometimes, though, we carry this notion of being clean to the point that our faith becomes sterile, not producing fruit. We need to get our hands dirty and do things in our faith, which means helping orphans, widows, those that society easily […]
Here’s a question for you. Why do we get so upset when we don’t get our own way and never stop to think that God doesn’t get His way all the time, either? That sounds kind of odd, but He desires for everybody to be saved and yet, we have a lot of holdouts. Jesus […]
I am going to go out on the cliched limb and ask a silly question. Have you ever looked the wrong way through a camera lens? Some people have never been around a camera where the lens comes off intentionally, so that isn’t going to mean anything to them. In fact, there must be a […]
I think all of us have went through a time that we set out to the change the world, or at least the community. We tend to drift toward big changes, thinking that will have a great impact. What if we shot for a smaller change? Are those any less effective? Since we’re talking about […]
You probably have never thought about this much, but why does the word diet start with die? Most often, diet means depriving yourself of something, generally something you like real well, so it does fit. However, the term diet is supposed to mean what you ordinarily eat. At least, that is what I was told […]
The Bible was completed over thousands of years, and it has been around 2,000 years since the final recorded events occurred. That makes it difficult enough to understand the timing of each book. Add to that the calendar changes over time, and that we use a different calendar year now, and it is hard to […]
Discouragement comes pretty easily for most of us. Something we had planned messes up, and those feelings of doubt and failure come flowing in. Getting rid of that frame of mind is not always easy. In There’s Reason To Be Encouraged, Paul E. Murrell shares poems and short articles he has written over the years […]
I read about a car that is factory produced, has over 700 horsepower, will go from zero to 60 in about 3.5 seconds, and still averages 23 miles per gallon on the highway. I have seen cars from the 60s and 70s that could get 40-50 miles per gallon. Why does it take a hybrid […]
