Matthew 24:3-8 "And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For … Continue reading Signs, Signs, And More Signs

Back To School
It is back-to-school time in my neck of the woods. Every school in the county begins the new academic year this week. This week's column will discuss teaching the Bible to children but does not advocate bringing it into public schools; the main emphasis will be getting it back into homes. My opinion of the … Continue reading Back To School
How Soon?
Our son called yesterday and said he and his family would visit today. Our first response was, "What time?" Everyone wants to know the time of an event. That way, we can plan around it. In our son's case, someone would have to adjust their plans if we had something already scheduled for when he … Continue reading How Soon?
Take It Or Leave It
God starts His Word with a great take it or leave it statement. Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Either God created everything, or He did not. The theory of evolution puts doubt in people's minds about the validity of Genesis 1:1. This doubt begins in kindergarten or before. … Continue reading Take It Or Leave It
The Next Full Moon
As I was up before sunrise this morning, I gazed at the full moon in the western sky - the last full moon of winter. I could not help but think of the next full moon, the first of the spring season marking the coming of Easter. My mind went back two thousand years and … Continue reading The Next Full Moon
Are There Tears In Heaven?
There are a lot of things that are yet to happen, according to the Bible. Most of the attention is on the rapture, the coming seven-year Tribulation Period, and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. There is little discussion about the events after the Tribulation and the Second Coming. Revelation 20-22 describes the events after … Continue reading Are There Tears In Heaven?
It’s Not About Religion
January 22, 1973; the school year of 1973-74; and April 24, 1975 - keep those dates in memory. They are essential to the rest of the column. Abortion is a hot topic on the news, social media, and private conversation since the recent Supreme Court's choice to send the decisions on abortion laws back to … Continue reading It’s Not About Religion
The Bible And Social Issues
It would be impossible to cover every social issue in 700-900 words, so we will start with the hot Supreme Court topic, abortion, and see where that leads us. Abortion. God is the creator of all life (Genesis 1; John 1:3; Acts 14:15, 17:24). So, we must ask, does life begin at birth, conception, or … Continue reading The Bible And Social Issues
One Chapter
We have all had those "what...if" conversations. The most common center around money. What would you do if you won the lottery? What would you do if you had a million dollars? The other day, someone brought up, "If you were going to be stranded ono a deserted island and you could only take one … Continue reading One Chapter
What We Are Made Of.
What are we made of? The typical answer is "dirt." It is true; God did form us from the "dust of the ground" (Genesis 2:7). However, there is far more to us than soil. God formed Adam during the sixth day of creation. Our creation was unique in several ways. Humankind is the only thing … Continue reading What We Are Made Of.
