“All we need is love!” “Love covers a multitude of sins.” “Love is the greatest.” “True love.” “God is love.” “Love one another.” “Love is kind.” “Love your enemies.” “Love makes the world go round.” “Love your neighbor as yourself.” You recognize that most of those sayings are found in the Bible. I suggest that over the past half century or... Continue Reading →
War Crimes
War is always ugly – and some aspects are beyond ugly – some aspects of war are evil. I have three bones in my craw. Bone #1: I have long struggled with Grant’s order to Sherman to ravage the land from Atlanta to Savannah during the Civil War. Sherman created a swath 60 miles wide of total destruction...

Money Thoughts
Just this week I had another discussion about driving the speed limit – this one with a non-believer. He claimed that he followed the posted limit but the expression on his wife’s face told another story. But, the argument is, the police allow five over. So why not drive five or so over? Because the law says... Continue Reading →
Easter
Over these days of convalescing with all sporting events stopped, Congress given to infighting over capitalism v. socialism (which is the philosophical battle being waged – the worker v. business) and watching the DOW roller coaster, I have taken in many religious programs. And almost all are worse than troubling – they are angering! How is... Continue Reading →
Social Distancing and Community Spread

Christians are charged to draw near to their God and to one... Continue Reading →
Socialism III
Some weeks ago, I began a study of capitalism asking myself if my beliefs had a Biblical basis and you have seen that to date I have given you 20 beliefs, all with a Bible truth as a foundation. I don’t want to believe something if it is not anchored to God’s precious Word – the... Continue Reading →
Expect to Be Hated
From our Sunday School lesson yesterday: Acts 19:23, And about that time there arose a great commotion about the Way. “The Way” was the name given to the early followers of Jesus before they/we came to be known as Christians. The name came from Jesus’ declaration that He is “the way, the truth, and the life” told us in John... Continue Reading →
Commercials
Recent TV commercials have been fun! (Sometimes I don’t even know what they are advertising!) > The Baker Mayfield commercials about his house – FirstEnergy Stadium (where he plays football). In one, he and his wife are sitting in the middle of a far section of the stands when she wants a soda. He dutifully goes across the field... Continue Reading →
January 27, 2020
Sad – the news and images out of southern CA where nine lost their lives in a helicopter crash. All nine had life stories that ended and have now passed into their next life based on how each responded to Jesus in light of their sin. A reminder that man knows not his time. Today be saved and...

Facing 2020 in the USA
For the past half-century we have been witnessing a slow and steady drift and change coming over America. Here are some of the changes I see: a rejection of God in public talk, especially a mention of Jesus global enterprises – world markets – putting policy in the hands of global concerns multi-culturalism – a distinct...
