OWE LOVE Many Christians treat love as if it were a commodity that can set us free from other debts. To this writer it is a misrepresentation of Romans 13: 8. “Owe no man anything, but to love one another;...
THE PILGRIMS The attempt to return America to the faith of the pilgrims is misleading. When my family and I visited the settlement, we took pictures with our children's heads in stocks. These pilgrims at that time were not sympathetic...
EZEKIEL The third of the great Hebrew prophets, named “God strengthens,” a son of a priest, was a watchman to warn sinners, circa 593 BC. He speaks for all and to all of God's people. It is a warning...

THREATNING CHRISTIANS At a recent religious gathering, the speaker began by saying the world no longer fears Christianity. Christians no longer pose a threat to non-Christians. The Jewish leaders and the mighty Roman Empire feared the first Christians. It...
BAD COMPANY A parrot joined some crows raiding a farmer's crop, a gun wounded the bird and it ended up chiming: “Bad company, bad company.” The Apostle Paul asked: “For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or...
JOSHUA Joshua succeeded Moses and led Israel into Canaan. Then he asked the people to choose whom they wanted to serve and set the example himself by declaring: ";But as for me and my house we shall serve the Lord"...
