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

Church Attendance
Nearly everyone has attempted to hit a baseball. With the little guys, we'll place the ball on a T but give them the same instructions as older kids being pitched too - keep your eye on the ball, swing level, choke up on the bat, and so on. Without practice, the little guys will never … Continue reading Church Attendance
The Warning And Blessing Of Psalm 2
Are we close to Christ sitting on the throne in Jerusalem? If we are, the events leading up to Christ's kingdom are even closer. Biblical prophecy tells us before Christ's one-thousand-year reign is the rapture of the church, the rule of the Antichrist, and the seven-year tribulation period. The Bible calls certain events signs of … Continue reading The Warning And Blessing Of Psalm 2
Does America Have Hope?
History was always one of my favorite subjects in school. Wars move borders, crush and strengthen ideologies. They are pivotal to human history. Wars occur for various reasons: a power-hungry leader wants more power, a nation is hungry; hence, the decision comes to grab land from a neighbor to grow more food, two leaders are … Continue reading Does America Have Hope?
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. You may have had a cross tattooed onto your forearm. Surely, a permanent mark on your skin … Continue reading Visual Signs A Person Loves God
How To Live A Quiet Life
2 Chronicles 20:30, "So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest round about." Often, we describe life as noisy. Many things are confusing, complicated, and nerve-wracking. Problems overwhelm the soul. "When will it ever end!" is a cry often heard. Illnesses, crime, stress, financial woes, relationship problems, the heartaches involved … Continue reading How To Live A Quiet Life
The Truth VS Our Truth
What a person believes dictates their actions. Most people I know are honest people. By that, I mean if they tell me something, they at least believe what they have said to be the truth. I also think the people who know me consider me to be honest. Using myself as an example, as a … Continue reading The Truth VS Our Truth
The Coming Persecution
Prophecy is a popular topic. People seem enthralled by the Biblical accounts of the end times. Whenever there is news of saber-rattling with nations involved in end-time prophecies, my mailbox fills with questions and predictions. Large earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, blizzards, hurricanes, and other natural events that are Biblical signs of the times also spark increased … Continue reading The Coming Persecution
Make America Godly Again (Part I)
If America is going to return to greatness, she must first return to godliness. When the Bible was the most-read book in the land, when the people of the nation had respect for God and His Word, we formed this country by defeating the most prominent and best-trained military in the world with a bunch … Continue reading Make America Godly Again (Part I)
Judgment Is Coming
Jeremiah 30:7 calls it "the time of Jacob's trouble." The prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27 causes us to use the term "Daniel's 70th week." It is called "the day of the Lord" thirty-one times in twenty-nine verses throughout the Bible. It will be the most horrific time in history (Matthew 24:21; Daniel 12:1; Joel 2:2). The … Continue reading Judgment Is Coming
