The Effects of Sin
Scripture wastes no time in revealing the ugliness of sin and its tragic effects upon mankind. In the early chapters of Genesis, we see clearly just how deeply and profoundly sin impacts us. Sin should cause shame. · After Adam and Eve ate from the tree of which they were commanded not to eat, they immediately felt …
Close the Curtains!
Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, likes to be in the spotlight. One of his crowning achievements was opening a new stadium 15 years ago. Obviously, it is state of the art. It has all the bells and whistles like a retractable roof and one of the largest video boards/screens in all of sports. …
A Reason for Hope
The great Kentucky writer, Wendell Berry, once wrote: “A man cannot despair if he can imagine a better life, and if he can enact something of its possibility.” (from The Unforeseen Wilderness about preserving Red River Gorge) As I understand it, Berry is saying that hope lives when people are promised something in the future and are …
Early Voting
I like the idea of early voting. It takes the pressure off. Once the vote has been cast, you no longer have to worry about emergencies arising or something such as an illness keeping you from the short window of time you have on “election day” to make it to the voting booth. Of course …
A Heart Like Paul’s
“Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.” (1 Cor. 11:1) And Paul said, “Whether short or long, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day might become such as I am—except for these chains.” (Acts 26:29) What character traits made Paul special and worthy of imitation? Dedication …
To Be Noble & Just
Do you know how many thoughts you think in a day? One scientific study conducted last year determined that the average human thinks about 6,200 separate thoughts each day! That is like 2,263,000 thoughts a year! That is a lot of thinking! But…sadly…those same scientists also determined that about 80% of those thoughts are negative. …
In Awe of the Maker of Stars
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? (Psalms 8:3-4) The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his …
Danger of Drowsiness
Being sleepy at the wrong time and in the wrong place can be very dangerous. Drowsy driving can slow down thinking and reaction times—affecting our judgment and vision. Not to mention we could outright fall asleep and wreck, injuring ourselves and/or others. An estimated 1 in 25 drivers report having fallen asleep while driving in …
Help in Time of Sadness
Numerous are the occasions that may cause us to feel the emotion of sadness. Seeing someone we love make sinful choices will break our hearts. Seeing someone we love go away (either temporarily like moving or permanently like dying) will cause a well-spring of tears to overflow. Scripture prepares us to expect times of sadness …
Sincerely Wrong
Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. (Romans …
