What a brilliant plan! God designed people to pass on what they have learned and he designed children, ages 0 to12, to suck it up and hold on to it. Then , as a teen , they may add, to what they have learned, their own spin on things and they, as a young adult, […]
There is a whole discipline of helping people with moods and memory and reasoning by the use of music. We all know that the “first therapist” was David trying to help king Saul by playing calming music to him. We are commanded to sing in our hearts and make a joyful noise unto the Lord.My […]
The question is, “If I follow Christ and his practical truths, will I wind up with nothing and isn’t the little the devil’s way offers me better than nothing?” For example someone is single or in a loveless marriage and God says, “No sex outside of marriage.” True pornography or adultery is hollow and empty […]
It is all on how I look at it. To the question, “Is it half full or half empty?” Like most Biblical balances, the answer is—YES! Life always delivers a choice; I can look at it God’s way and thrive under stress, or I can look at it my way and play the victim, “poor […]
I was walking past a house recently that had a sign, “In this house we believe in science.” By which they mean, “We can live by sciences biased unproven conclusions if that allows us to do what we want to and to judge others as being less “Correct” than we are. Well what does basic […]
In I Kings 19:10 Elijah is whining that he is the only one left and everyone is out to kill him. Jonah was asked by God if he had a good excuse to feel depressed and want to die because his gourd had died. Job had a good reason to say, “why hast thou set […]

{Matthew 18:3 ,Mark 10:15, I Corinthians 1;26-29, I Corinthians 14:20, I Peter 2:2} Jesus came as a baby and wants me, also, to come as a baby. If I come to God , all grown-up and “wise”, like the pharisees, I will never enter the kingdom. Not many wise, not many strong are chosen but […]
OK, I know that is bad grammar, but why do I worry and is it healthy? Worry, as a reaction to potential danger, is a God given gift. Children often don’t worry enough (especially teenagers). Like all uncomfortable feelings, worry identifies a need and motivates us to deal with it. It is only a problem […]
I have heard a lot of Christians saying that,even though they are vulnerable to severe illnesses if they caught covid19, they are going to show their faith by not taking precautions,by hugging friends at church and not wearing a mask. Is it a sin to wear a mask? Have we been asked to wear them […]
