Antisemitism is on the rise throughout the world, even in Christian circles. Since the Jews have been hated throughout history, at least some of what appears to be an increase is nothing more than hidden feelings finally rising to the surface. As Christians, we should look to God for answers to everything in life. What … Continue reading How Does God Feel About Israel & The Jews

Please Meditate On Christmas
If you ask people why we celebrate Christmas, or about the meaning of Christmas, there are three basic answers. “It’s when we celebrate Jesus’ birthday!” “Christmas is a time of giving, peace, and joy.” “Christmas is a time to spend with family and friends, a time of good food, and gifts.” There is truth in … Continue reading Please Meditate On Christmas
Everyone Has A Relationship With God
We interact with people all the time. Some are acquaintances, others are good friends, some are relatives, and others are work colleagues.

Happy Birthday To Us
The 4th of July is upon us. My family celebrates four holidays every year: Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, and July 4th.

My Take On Global Warming
We installed the window air conditioner in our bedroom last week. I installed the one that goes into the office/living room this morning. We have one more to go; it cools the dining room and kitchen. Julie and I agree on almost everything except the temperature at which to use an air conditioner. If there … Continue reading My Take On Global Warming

The Bible calls certain events signs of … Continue reading The Warning And Blessing Of Psalm 2
Visual Signs A Person Loves God
Can people see that you are a Christian? If you have a cross necklace and a T-shirt that reads, "Jesus loves you!" you might think you are doing pretty well in letting people know you are a Christian.

What Manner Of Persons
Hamas' attack on October 7th, Hezbollah’s constant missile barrage upon Israel from Lebanon, Iran's aerial attack upon Israel with hundreds of drones and missiles, and Israel's response to all these things all appear to be fulfilling the sign Jesus spoke about when He said, "Wars and rumours of wars" (Matthew 24:6, Mark 13:7).

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
