When you come to Christ you’re changing little by little into his likeness. It’s like peeling off the layers of an onion. The old man comes off so that the new man can emerge. Sometimes we have to be delivered from our ties of our old life. Sometimes deliverance is easy and sometimes it’s not.Continue reading “Peeling off the layers”

Stop Quoting John 3:16
The idea for this post came from my younger son Joshua who always quotes John 3:16 and 17 together. Sure verse 16 is a good verse, but if you stop with that verse you missed the whole point! 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in orderContinue reading “Stop Quoting John 3:16”
Giving God Leftovers
I don’t want to give God the leftover time in my day. He deserves more than leftovers. He sustains me and has carried me through tough times. He deserves a central part of my life. I don’t want to give him only a few minutes before I go to bed. I want to stay connectedContinue reading “Giving God Leftovers”
Did you get a sign from your departed relative
I’m sorry but a “sign” from your departed relative is not a message from them. Nor is a butterfly or the smell of their perfume. It is witchcraft and necromancy if you attribute these signs to communication from your dead relative. Your dead relative can speak to you before they depart, but after perish theyContinue reading “Did you get a sign from your departed relative”
Is God going to visit us earthlings?
I’m not God, but if I were I probably wouldn’t. If I were going to come, I would need everyone to know about it in advance and I would expect people treat me with respect due to the Creator.

Suffering for Christ? That’s good! Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:10 We know that the persecution is temporary, but our response is eternal. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Romans 12:14 Persecution is a normal part of theContinue reading “Persecution”
Work to live or live to work?
We worship our work, work at our play, and play at our worship. Gordon Dahl Work is the new idol. Work is good and idleness is bad, but we can make our job an idol. When work becomes our idol everyone around us knows it. We don’t see it ourselves because we seem to haveContinue reading “Work to live or live to work?”
Religious Exemptions
Federal law protects people in the observance of their religion. Many accommodations are made for people who do have a deeply held religious belief. You may be one of them. My religion permeates my life. It occupies much of my personal time. It is deeply held. I don’t know how long vaccines have contained mRNA,Continue reading “Religious Exemptions”
It’s my birthday
People have different ways to celebrate their birthdays. Many people dread their birthdays and getting older. That wouldn’t be me. I’m getting closer to senior discounts! I’m getting closer to drawing a retirement check! I’m drawing closer to the day I see Jesus face to face. Life is short. We spend our youth on thingsContinue reading “It’s my birthday”
Are you worth 5 bucks?
No, chemically speaking you aren’t. Chemically speaking you’re less worth than five dollars. Chemically speaking you belong on the shelf at the five below chain store.Here is the breakdown source! Think about a friend of yours, I’ll do the same. Got one? Good. I’ll use my friend Aida. Suppose the doctor tells your friend (whoContinue reading “Are you worth 5 bucks?”
