Mark 3:24-26, “And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.” All of us should pay attention to every word God says, but … Continue reading Will America Do What’s Needed?

Yippie! 2026 Is Here!
A new year has dawned. Some people are looking forward to 2026 with anticipation, others with dread, and still others see it as just another day passing on the calendar. I wish I could tell you what is going to happen this year. Who will win the Super Bowl and the World Series? How will … Continue reading Yippie! 2026 Is Here!
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
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 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
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
Syria Is Back In The News
The United States bombed Syria. Opinions are flying around on if we should have or should not have. Still, regardless of personal viewpoint, it is now history, and history marches on. God knows when the civil war in Syria will end and how the geopolitical map will look once all the smoke clears. Will Russia … Continue reading Syria Is Back In The News
The Pre-Tribulation Rapture
We are just past the halfway point of 2020, and if nothing else happened this year, it would still go down as one of the strangest years in history. The best word to describe it, I believe, is "uncertainty." People are uncertain about their health, the economy, social reform, the nation, the world. Christians around … Continue reading The Pre-Tribulation Rapture
Signs, Signs, And More Signs
If anyone wanted to point to signs of Christ's return, the last two weeks have been a prophecy student's dream. Worldwide pandemic. Earthquakes in Utah, Tennessee, Nevada, and the Carolinas. World economies on the verge of collapse. Locust swarms in Africa. A world toilet paper shortage. Okay, the Bible does not say anything about number … Continue reading Signs, Signs, And More Signs
Faithful?
Hebrews, chapter eleven, is commonly known as "the faith chapter." The chapter gives a summary of the acts of faith exhibited by some of the Bible's great characters - Noah, Abraham, Moses, and others. Toward the end of the chapter, it starts talking about believers in general. Hebrews 11:36-38, "And others had trial of cruel mockings and … Continue reading Faithful?
