“Let Me Be Clear”
Have you ever been confused by something somebody said to you? Maybe you didn’t understand the meaning of some of the words or maybe there was just a misconception about what was being said. It has been said that the English language is the most difficult language to...
“WHAT IS SIN?”
Sin has been defined as “missing the mark” or “Transgression of God’s word.” Both are correct. Simply put, sin is making the wrong decision. Don’t get me wrong, not every wrong decision we make is sin, like when I decided to get an afro in the 80’s. It might have been...
“IT AIN’T OVER ‘TIL IT’S OVER”
Yogi Berra, the legendary catcher for the New York Yankees from 1946 through 1963, is considered one of the greatest catchers to play baseball. He won 10 World Series championships, more than any other player in history. He is also one of only 6 players to capture the...
“HOLY WEEK”
As I write this, we are in the middle of what many people call “Holy Week.” It is the week between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. It is a tradition with its beginning traced back to the latter part of the 3rd century. It is closely observed by the Catholic Church....
“I DON’T WANT MY KID TO LEARN THAT”
A few years ago, after speaking on the importance of teaching biblical truths to our children, I had a woman say, “I don’t want my kid to learn that.” I asked if she was against humility, serving others, unconditional love, and teaching morality in general. She never...
“IS IT FROM GOD?”
I believe that every Christian at one time or another has asked, “Is this from God?” about something in their life. Over the past year, this pandemic has had long-lasting effects on the world. Some people felt that it was a world-wide judgment from God. I am not...
“WHY DO WE SIN?”
It is age old question for Christians, why do we sin? We know that sin is wrong. We know that sin put Jesus on the cross. We know that sin separates us from God. So why do we sin. First let’s get one thing out of the way, we don’t sin because we are sinners, we are...
“TAKE UP YOUR CROSS”
Cross-bearing is not easy. It is not fun. When a person was sentenced to crucifixion in Jesus’ day, bearing their cross to the place of execution was a public admission of guilt. Cross-bearing is humbling. In His teachings, Jesus said that people who desired to...
“THERE IS ONE SOLUTION TO THE WORLD’S PROBLEMS”
In our world today, we see many problems that people just can’t seem to overcome. Inequality, racism, countless other social injustices, what is now known as “cancel culture”, economic hardships, among many other issues. These topics have caused much division in our...
“MY OR NO WAY”
Have you ever dealt with somebody who has to have everything their own way? They may even believe their way is the only way or the right way in spite of being offered proof that they are wrong. They may look at written proof and twist the words to fit their own...
“GOD LOVES FREEDOM”
One of the greatest misconceptions people have about a relationship with God is that it is restraining. In reality, it is just the opposite! God love freedom. God created mankind with free moral agency. That means we have the ability to pick and choose what we want to...
“DID YOU LIKE IT?”
Social media. What can we say about the many social media sites that can be informative and entertaining and at the same time be destructive and abusive? I know that something like this can be said about many different things in our world, however, with social media...
