Historians believe America did more in its first two hundred years than had been achieved in the previous six thousand years of recorded history. The American Republic was to ensure a just and “level playing field” for production and commerce and to allow people to provide for themselves with their own initiative and resourcefulness. This worked … [Read more...]
The Greatest Blessing-Overcoming Sin
What is frightening is the “sensitivity training” to accept, embrace and advocate every kind of sin has escalated. If you believe what the Bible teaches about any controversial subject, you will be allowed to silently believe but not allowed to practice or say what you believe, especially in "post-Christian" Europe. God is going to allow human … [Read more...]
Biblical Requirements For Leaving an Inheritance
In Old Testament times most, people were poor and lived at a subsistence level. Thus, leaving an inheritance (normally land) was vital to enable the following generation(s) to continue farming and raise livestock, without getting enslaved. The distribution of the inheritance was executed like this: usually, daughters did not receive land, for they … [Read more...]
The Mother Hen–A Symbol of God’s Love
A story is told of a fire in Scotland that destroyed the farm. In the aftermath of the fire, a farmer went into the barn to assess and make sense of what had happened. In the process, a farmer kicked one of the dead chickens and under the chicken wings were six live chickens the mother died protecting. Another story is told of the forest fire … [Read more...]
Resurrection of Jesus Christ
There is no specific instruction to celebrate or observe Easter in the New Testament. Easter is not about “Easter eggs” or wearing pastels. All these are pagan practices. To a Christian, Christ is risen and alive ‘every day’, and his life should be enjoyed and celebrated as such. Christians also have a Passover meal regularly, for the Lord’s … [Read more...]

Is What You Are Living For Worth Christ Dying For?
Daniel Kolenda in his book Live Before You Die tells the story of an American soldier in the Vietnam War who was about to step on an anti-personnel landmine that was hidden from his sight. His comrade across the battlefield, who could see the impending disaster from his vantage point, stood up from behind his protective barricade and shouted a … [Read more...]
Get Into The Ark
As we make New Year resolutions, I want to call your attention to a text that you will find in Genesis chapter 7:1 “Then the Lord said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.” Many people have questioned whether the flood was a real event and whether it … [Read more...]
Eternity in our Hearts
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11 AMP) I don’t usually … [Read more...]
A-World-Without-Skills
A fascinating piece appeared in The Wall Street Journal concerning the skill levels of new hires. Or, rather, the lack of skills, even in fields such as engineering. Firms are taking in new graduates only to discover that while they might know much, they can’t actually do anything, not even basic things that every engineer is supposed to know. … [Read more...]
