Murder Charge Follows a Lifetime of Careless Decisions
How To Break Free From a Lifetime of Wrong Choices In reading the morning edition of the Charlotte Observer, I see where a 31-year old Iraq war veteran is in jail with murder charges handing over his head. The uncontrolled consumption of alcohol brings about this tragic moment. In the early hours of Monday am, this young man made the most [...]
Advice Columnists Amy Dickinson Fails to Value the Human Soul
Carnal Advice Rejects Eternal Values I seldom read advice columns. These experts, so-called, such as Amy Dickinson and others are too often void of any spiritual truths. They write words that are typically settled into the present, physical world of carnal understanding. Their advice lacks God inspired wisdom. They seem to have no grasp [...]
Doctrine Series What Man Claims To Be God
Jesus Christ Not Only Claims To Be God, He Is God If a man claimed to be God but that man was not God, that man would be either insane or a deliberate liar. But if that man were in all fact God incarnated in human flesh, He would be Jesus the Christ, the risen redeemer of all mankind. For He alone is the living deity, crucified for our sins, [...]
He Set His Face To Go To Jerusalem, Leaving The Lost For Another Day
In Luke 9, the Holy Spirit, via the pen of Luke the physician, relays a brief tale of Jesus, a village of reluctant Samaritans, and the misdirected anger of two disciples. The story speaks of how Jesus, with His face set to go to Jerusalem, sent out messengers to prepare those along the way to receive the Lord of Hosts and His followers. [...]
The Afterlife Involves Either Heaven or Hell – There Are No Second Chances
The physical death of this body is final. After that comes judgment. I just viewed parts of a cute fantasy movie about a false afterlife. The protagonist, a somewhat misguided young man, died due to a car accident. At the crossroads between heaven and hell, the Heavenly Council, so-called, decided to give the young man a second chance. He [...]
Yes, Dear Pharisee, God Does Respond To The Prayers of Sinners Even When It Is Not A Prayer of Repentance
Concerning the prayers of sinners, many Christians teach that God neither hears nor responds to any prayer other than a prayer of repentance. This is a legalistic attitude wherein Christians interpret scripture with the mindset of a Pharisee. It is a mindset that lacks any concept of God’s awesome grace and mercy. By taking a few select verses [...]
Why Do Articles That Address Anxiety or Bitterness Rank So High In View Counts
Among my works of 2010, the articles that address anxiety or bitterness rank number one in reader views. It makes no difference which article submission site I check. My articles that deal with the healing of anxiety or the deliverance from bitterness of heart are actually viewed three to one over any of my other materials. This prompts me to dig [...]
Feelings of Worthlessness Hinder Your Ability To Find Your Place In The Body of Christ
At times, Christians endure feelings of worthlessness. Something goes sour at the local church. We try to accomplish a perceived task, but no one backs our efforts. Meanwhile, someone else is elevated, and it seems that everyone rallies around his or her cause. Satan whispers thoughts of envy or jealously into our mind. The hurt [...]
Grace Killers Quench The Holy Spirit Within Themselves And Within The Church
Many Christians understand the misery that accompanies a personal grieving of the indwelling Holy Spirit. It is an internal sense of unease, at times an overwhelming awareness within that we have trespassed against our Lord and God. On occasion, God forbid, the hand of Almighty chastisement enhances the anguish of internal separation that such sin [...]
The Answer Man, The Know-It-All, The One With A Plan
If he lacks an answer, he will improvise an answer. He has the unique ability to ad-lib with the astonishing conviction of a self-righteous nun. He fully believes that he alone is always right. Those who disagree with his self-confirmed truisms are obviously ignorant and narrow-minded, driven by foolish pride and stubbornly [...]
