When I was growing up, there was a standing rule in our house - if the teacher punished us at school, dad punished us at home. This rule was no questions asked. I never heard dad say, "I'll go talk to your teacher about this." The teacher was the authority in the classroom, and if … Continue reading Dad’s Rules

Our Own Eyes
Everyone tends to see life through their own eyes. When a baby is born in America, many hospitals, usually though nonprofit organizations, send the baby home with a "care package" of diapers, baby oil, wipes, and the like. Some even provide expensive items like car seats. In Israel, all newborn babies are sent home with … Continue reading Our Own Eyes
A Volcano Is Fixing To Erupt
The other day on social media, I saw a post that contained several pictures of well-known people with liberal views. The group of photos of people included pictures of a famous fast-food hamburger and another image of an order of fast-food french fries. Every photo had a corresponding letter. Above the picture, it read, "The … Continue reading A Volcano Is Fixing To Erupt

As an example, you know what they say about riding a bicycle - you learn when you are a kid, and you never forget. Just yesterday, I had a sixty-one-year-old tell me of … Continue reading The Road Of The Loss Of Respect
What Is Coming.
Since the start of the virus, this column has focused mostly on Biblical prophecy. I feel it prudent to take a step back and give readers an overview of what is coming according to the Bible. With the outbreak of COVID-19, specific political news from the Middle East, natural disasters around the globe, and civil … Continue reading What Is Coming.
Division and Fear
What does the Bible say about those in authority? All authority, from a fifteen-year-old babysitter to the leaders of nations, comes from God (Romans 13:1). However, this God-given authority does not give people in authority the right to exercise absolute rule. Leaders and those in power are "the minister of God, a revenger to execute … Continue reading Division and Fear
