CONSIDER THE PURPLE DEADNETTLE

I have been a worrier most of my life. In order to “lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us [me]” as Hebrews 12:1 commands, I have committed to memorizing many passages of Scripture about this besetting sin.  A precious hidden truth...

Water As a Symbol of the Holy Spirit 

The Bible employs powerful symbols to teach us about the attributes of our triune God.   Various symbols associated with the Holy Spirit depict His nature or aspects of His work, and water is one of them, symbolizing His cleansing from sin in our new...

YESTERDAY  

“Yesterday came suddenly”.   These words were written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney of The Beatles back in 1965. The whole sentence goes something like this: “Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away, now it looks as though they’re here to...

RESTING IN THE FEAR OF GOD 

There are two types of Christianity: one based on a vibrant personal relationship with the Living God; the other a somber dead religion of legal compliance, empty rituals, stifling traditions, and resentment against God who is viewed as a stern taskmaster. He is not...

A UNIQUE NATION 

That heading is a little misleading because America is indeed unique among the nations of the world, but it is less a nation than an idea!  It is essential for Christians to understand America’s identity because America was first bequeathed to Christians, and...

AMOS THEN AND NOW 

Amos is the third book of the minor prophets. God gave him a vision of what was about   to happen to the northern kingdom of Israel and he was sent there to preach that message, pronouncing God's indictment and judgment upon them.   Amos was unlike...

Coffee and Christianity

Mmmm….coffee! If I’m honest, it’s one of the main reasons I get out of bed in the morning.  Here’s a brief history of this favorite beverage:  According to the National Coffee Association (NCAUSA.org), an Ethiopian goat herder named Kaldi discovered coffee...

A VACATION TO REMEMBER 

There’s never been a period in human history when more people travelled to more places for the sole purpose of enjoying a good time of relaxation in an interesting or exotic location.  Bob and I have enjoyed a few of those over the years, but none have been as...

Small but Mighty 

A couple of months ago I opened the cabinet under our kitchen sink to get a dishwasher tablet and immediately noticed a pool of water. I quickly shut off the water, gathered some towels and began the process of cleaning it up. After careful inspection I discovered the...

Lessons Learned from Sylvia Hansen 

The first time I heard the name Sylvia Hansen I was seated in Fran’s kitchen (my step-grandmother) eating something (which is what you do when you’re at grandma’s house). My mom was chatting with her when I heard something that got my attention: “You could slap Sylvia...

ACCEPTING THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD

The real question behind objections to God’s sovereignty—so beloved of spiritually dead theologians, apostates and those seeking to neuter God so that they can rule in His name and in His place—is recorded in Genesis 3:1, where the devil plants a doubt in the mind of...

Spending, and Spent! The Plight of the Loving Servant 

The definition of Agape love is “sacrificing self for the benefit of another.” So, we learn that inherent in this type of love is the one doing the loving “pays a price.”   The most famous verse in the Bible is an example of this: “For God so loved the world...

DON’T RESOLVE TO BE A DO-GOODER!

By Edward Thal Here’s a resolution not to add to your list for the New Year: Be a do-gooder in 2025! The devil is a sly deceiver about Christianity, aiming to place it on the same level as the multitude of other useless world religions that seek to please the gods...

CHRISTMAS MEANS KARMA IS NOT INEVITABLE 

I’ve heard this word “Karma” thrown around a lot since the recent election, especially by conservative pundits on TV declaring that the destructive policies of the last four years are being overturned. Karma is a Hindu word that refers to a principle of cause and...

PONDERING CHRISTMAS 

During the Christmas season we often turn to the book of Luke to consider his account of the birth of Christ. In fact, our youngest son Luke is so named because of the time that I spent reading Luke’s Gospel prior to his birth.  Luke 2:16-18 talks about the...

STUFF! 

“Stuff”. It’s a short but loaded word. We all have it. I have my stuff, Jan has her stuff, you have your stuff, the kids have their stuff, and that messy neighbor across the street has a garage full of stuff.   It’s our stuff and it fills everything. If you...

Grace Be to You 

By Edward Thal  In his introduction to the Ephesians, Paul wishes “Grace” to them. What does he mean?  If you have ever felt bad about something you’ve done, you know you’re a sinner. And, if you’re honest with yourself, you will know that you’re a repeat...

CHRISTMAS IS A GOOD TIME TO CELEBRATE MARRIAGE 

God’s Word speaks of marriage right at the beginning (Genesis 1:26-27), and right at the end (Revelation 19), and a lot of places between, in both the Old Testament and the New Testament.  Marriage was God’s gift to mankind—a fitting gift to celebrate at the...

I’m Thankful for God

In this season of Thanksgiving, I’m thankful I’m not an atheist because I would have nothing to be thankful about. Atheism made sense to me until I was 23 years old and thinking about suicide because living made no sense. That’s what happens when you believe you came...

Look Up!

Living out in the country means city lights don’t diminish the magnificence of the night sky. I can name some of what I see when I look up—the moon, Polaris (the North Star, by which ancient mariners would navigate), Venus, the second brightest object in the sky on a...

WISDOM FROM AN UNSAVED MAN 

Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, was one of the richest men in the world when he died at the age of 56 from pancreatic cancer.   On his deathbed he recognized that his wealth and fame could not buy more life: “You can employ someone to drive the car for you,...

God Can Calm the Storms 

* This was the last article from Roger before his passing.  God can calm the storms in your life, but sometimes He calms His child in the storm. When storms roar, let Christ comfort you and bring rest to your soul in the eye of calamity. Hear Him whisper above the...

Dealing with the old man

The Apostle Paul writes about the “inward man” and the “outward man”; the “new creation” and the “man of flesh” (2 Corinthians chapters 4 and 5). It is a unique concept of spiritual treasure contained within vessels of clay; the eternal life of Christ in dying human...

WE SERVE A GREAT GOD 

Friends I want to tell you that we serve a great God! Praise God, and praise all those who pray every day for some who are suffering from cancer and other ailments. God hears you!  What comes to mind when you think about God? Do you praise Him daily for who He is and...

THE TYRANNY OF THE LEAST AND THE DUMBEST 

The man who famously said, “God is Dead” and was instantly acclaimed by those who wished God to be dead also described Socialism as “the tyranny of the least and the dumbest.”   That’s a problem for Anarchists, Atheists, Communists and Socialists because...
