We need to be careful of how we relate to the world and unbelievers. Although we are called to share the gospel, we are still warned repeatedly about how we are to use caution when we interact with the world. If we are not careful, unbelieving worldly people will lead us astray.
Even those that claim [...]

Preconceived Ideas
June 13, 2009
There is nothing so dangerous as to come to the Bible with a theory,
with preconceived ideas, with some pet idea of our own,
because the moment we do so,
we shall be tempted to over-emphasize one aspect
and under-emphasize another.

Obama Is Changing the US into a Socialistic, Muslim Country !?!

President’s speech in Turkey.
And I’ve said before that one of the great strengths of the United States is — although as I mentioned, we have a very large Christian population, we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation; we consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are [...]

We Should Watch What We Watch – Take Heed What You See
May 5, 2009
Yesterday I posted about Take Heed What You Read – AW Pink where you should give heed to what you fill your mind with as you read.

But not only do we [...]
A Black Eye – Abuse or Just a Fact of Life for a Child?
April 30, 2009
I graduated from high school in 1984. Most of our class had read George Orwell’s 1984 in previous English classes, but somehow my combination of honors English didn’t require it. So I have made it through life without having read 1984.
However, that book comes up quite frequently in a person’s everyday discussions. Anytime someone refers [...]
Your World View Affects How You View The Bible
April 15, 2009
When we come to Bible interpretation we see where the world view we bring to the Bible reading affects everything we read. Do we trust the Lord to protect His Word and give us His Truth or do we look for the things that we think are contradictions? This is dependent on our world view [...]

This is an email I got concerning the UN Rights of the Child from a pastor.

Christians called to abandon public education
Voddie Baucham, Jr., author of “Family Driven Faith,” noted children spend about 14,000 hours in public schools.

The Holy Bible and the TV Guide
December 26, 2008
On the table side by side:
The Holy Bible and the TV Guide.
One’s well worn but cherished with pride
(Not the Bible, but the TV Guide).
One’s used daily to help folk decide,

As pages are turned, what will they see?
Oh, what does it matter, turn on the TV.
Then confusion reigns, they can’t [...]

How Does Your Church Treat the Elderly?
December 8, 2008
Our family has spent a very busy, weekend visiting nursing homes with violin Christmas music and handing out Candy Canes. But it makes you think, what are the churches really doing for the elderly?
