My opinions of church may seem contradictory to many readers. On the one hand, I believe every Christian should attend church whenever humanly possible. That includes Sunday morning services and Sunday evening and mid-week services as well. On the other hand, I have written about how many modern-day church services resemble high school pep rallies … Continue reading A Watered-Down Faith

Saving Faith VS Not Saving Faith
I have a deep concern for people who claim to be Christians but show no signs of being Christian. Let me explain - often, I will talk to people in their fifties and sixties who tell me they are Christians. Then through the course of conversation, I find out they have not attended church since … Continue reading Saving Faith VS Not Saving Faith
The Probable Sequence of Events.
Often people will grab a current event and claim it is something from the book of Revelation. Anything in Revelation from chapter four on is, at this present time, still future. Therefore, when someone claims that a current event is Revelation (choose chapter and verse), well, unless we just went through Revelation 4:1-2, it is … Continue reading The Probable Sequence of Events.
Why Christmas?
Have you ever been around one of those children that are constantly asking, "Why?" "Why is the sky blue?" "Why are some people mean?" "Why don't snails have legs?" "Why can't I eat ice cream before dinner?" Everyone knows the kid I am talking about. I was one of those children. We are in the … Continue reading Why Christmas?
Giving Thanks
"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." - 1 Thessalonians 5:18. The Thanksgiving edition of this column is usually an attempt to have people see that Thanksgiving had changed from a day of thankfulness to God to "Turkey Day" surrounded by materialism. Hopefully, this would … Continue reading Giving Thanks
If My People…
In last week's column, we compared the choices of punishment David was offered by God and current events. David was offered the choice between famine, military defeat, and pestilence (disease). In the here and now, a pandemic has spread worldwide for nearly two years, and America recently suffered military embarrassment in Afghanistan. The only thing … Continue reading If My People…
Is God Judging America?
In 1 Chronicles 21, God punishes David for taking a census. On the surface, taking a census seems innocent enough, but David's actions involved more than simply numbering the people. Let us look at the underlying things in the story. God did not tell David to conduct a census. David did not even ask if … Continue reading Is God Judging America?
Where Have All The Fishers Gone?
My father-in-law was an avid fisherman. It was not uncommon to find him gutting and scaling dozens of fish in the backyard. He chose to retire near a river known for excellent fishing. My father-in-law took me fishing on several occasions, but I never caught a fish. Here is this man who usually comes home … Continue reading Where Have All The Fishers Gone?
The Vaccine and the Mark of the Beast
My inbox overflows with the same question from dozens of readers - Is the vaccine the mark of the Beast? Not long ago, I used this column to answer some of the more common questions I receive. The "Is the vaccine the mark" question was briefly addressed at that time; however, mail with the question … Continue reading The Vaccine and the Mark of the Beast
Lukewarmness
In the days before the "No weapons on school property" policy, you could travel to any High School in the county where I live and see quite a few gun racks in the rear windows of pick-up trucks. A high percentage of those gun racks held either a shotgun or rifle. In many areas of … Continue reading Lukewarmness
