Primeval Origins

Fantasy books generally pique my interest; it is one genre that I can easily get into. Brett Vonsik’ Primeval Origins immediately made me curious. Following Nikki, a graduate student, on an archeology dig, the story tells about a strange creature that is uncovered. Then, an accident segues the story into following Rogaan, an ancient boy […]


Legal Beagle

Legalism, legalistic. If you’ve never heard those terms, they can sound like something virtuous. Like you’re trying your best to adhere to the law. If you have heard them, you know that they aren’t something you want said in reference to you. A simple explanation of legalism is trying to be saved by obeying laws. […]


Pharaohs of the Bible

There is a group of people that claim the Bible has no proof outside of itself. Many of the names, according to that group, cannot be found anywhere else. However, there is plenty of evidence from other sources that the people mentioned in the Bible existed. Eve Engelbrite has shown the link between Egyptian history […]


And Now For Something Completely Different

God speaks through His word, but some of us need extra help on understanding particular passages. Commentaries are great for those situations, but some can be too general. Matthew Martin took a different route on his commentary. And Now For Something Completely Different is a verse by verse look at the book of Hebrews. Hebrews […]


Love and Truth

There are many people that want to live without God. There are those that also want to go further, they want all references to God, Jesus, anything related to Them erased from public sight. They do not understand that you cannot just close your eyes to God, and have everything work out. This country was […]


Sit Down

From time to time, I may start posting what looks like random thoughts. Though some might argue that I’m doing this already, I assure you that these are slightly different. In preparing for Bible lessons that I teach, I tend to talk through the lesson before I get to class. These posts will just be […]


Thinking Problems

As a rule, I tend to be a concrete thinker. For you funny people, that does not mean I’m a blockhead. Any similarities there are for other reasons. I have trouble relating to and communicating concepts, ideas that cannot be measured or experienced somehow. What does that all mean, that’s what I’m hoping to get […]


No Greatness Without Goodness

There are thousands of people that form an untapped resource. They’re not looking for pity, but for an opportunity. They have some type of disability that prevents them from working like “normal” people, but aren’t useless. After his son was born with autism, Randy Lewis began to wonder if this group could be integrated into […]


God and Men

Movies and TV are full of examples of what men are supposed to be like, but how accurate are the examples? Are men really imbeciles with no clue about what is going on around them? Do they really have to be uncaring and emotionless? Carlton Lee Arnold shares his learning about being a Christian man […]


What we deserve

At different ages, people go through a stage of entitlement. I see that meaning something along the lines of, “I exist, so I deserve to have whatever I want.” At times, it’s more like, “I’m awesome, give it to me.” Though I see this more in youth and children, it does exist in all ages. […]
