We Are Far Too Easily Pleased
The “holiday season” is in full swing. Thanksgiving is behind us and Christmas is right around the corner. It is good to stop and count blessings. It is fun to give and receive presents. Thus it is easy to get caught up in the spirit of the day. But let us consider something different. From …
Biblical Thoughts on Alcohol
“Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaining? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes? Those who tarry long over wine; those who go to try mixed wine. Do not look at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly. In …
Back To School
The time has arrived once again—summer break has ended and it is time to go back to school. Children, parents, and other adults have to make the adjustment to new routines. Let it be the case that prayer will be a regular part of your routine. Let it be the case that discussions about spiritual …
Earth’s Cousin?
Have you heard about Kepler-452b? Maybe you’ve seen the headlines recently that read something like this: NASA discovers Earth-like planet orbiting “cousin” of Sun. The idea is to emphasize just how un-special we really are. If we exist by complete accident…if we owe our existence to time and chance…it would not be outside the realm …

Too Many Sins?
Look . . . ! I understand, OK? I know what it’s like to feel regret and remorse, and to ask questions like, “Have I done enough?” and “How am I ever going to be forgiven?” True, some, yea . . . many, after embraceing and putting Jesus on through immersion, wander astray, do things …
Who Will Perish?
“Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will punish all those who are circumcised merely in the flesh– Egypt, Judah, Edom, the sons of Ammon, Moab, and all who dwell in the desert who cut the corners of their hair, for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel …
The Trinity: Misunderstandings
We have been studying the “Trinity” for quite some time now, the following diagram representing the correct Biblical balance between asserting there is only one God & God being three persons, a difficult idea to comprehend, admittedly. Indeed, it has proven to be so difficult to understand that, instead of just accepting the Bible’s plain …
The Trinity: Three in One?! (part 4)
Last week, we noted that, as the nature of God is progressively revealed in Scripture, the one God is seen to exist eternally in three persons, & that these three persons share the same divine nature yet are different in role & relationship. The basic principle at the heart of God’s triune being is unity …
The Trinity: Three In One? (part 3)
Once again, when we say “Jesus is God,” we are not saying “Jesus is the Father” or “Jesus is the Spirit” (both are called “God”; see Acts 5:3-4 & Col 1:2). How can God be each of these distinctly? Consider the diagram: What this shows is that, while there are three persons in the Trinity, …
