                We are living in a very “tolerant” and open era. Nowadays, many people are encouraged to “come out of the closet” and display their immorality for all to see. Oh, how proud they are! In fact, the LGBT (I think I’m missing a few letters) community celebrate…

In the Scriptures we have several examples of how we can pray for each other (eg. Philippians 1:9-11; Colossians 1:9-12,). But as I have read through the Psalms these last few months I have noticed some ways that the Psalmist prayed for himself. They are worthy of our consideration and imitation. We should pray for…

The Holy Spirit in Scripture presents an unvarnished picture of the people of Scripture.  We see not only the positive things about their lives, but also their weaknesses, faults, and sin. King David of the Old Testament is no exception. He comes on the scene of Israel as a young shepherd boy, who against all…

“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” (1 Cor 10:13 ESV) None of us are exempt from…

There is nothing better than the smell of new clothes, except maybe for the smell of a brand new car. Most women (and many men) love smelling and wearing new clothes. For many, buying new clothes approximates a religious experience. I know a dear lady that salivates with expectation about a trip to the mall.…

Do you know who Theopholis was?  I dare say that many people reading this would not immediately know.  There is a good reason for that. Almost nothing is known of him. What we do know is that two entire books of the   New Testament were written by Luke to him. (Luke 1:1-4; Acts 1:1). …

I have a hidden problem, a condition which, if revealed, would amaze and terrorize everyone in sight. I am talking about my feet. While the rest of my body is in a reasonably good shape (for my age), my feet are ugly, cold and wide. Most people can buy any shoe they want or can…

Last Sunday, as we were driving to church, we witnessed a peculiar and ridiculous scene: A cow bending over the fence, straining her whole body in an attempt to retrieve a delicious morsel of “greener” grass from the other side of the fence. This foolish cow’s deed is a symbol of the actions of many…

  Biblically, the human heart is the place of the emotions, the intellect, and the will. It is the place where we think, feel, and make decisions. It is the most inner part of our being.  When we say that God desires service that flows from the heart, we mean that God wants more from…

“And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. And as soon as he had spoken, immediately…
