Let me suggest that the next time you look in a mirror you take a second look. There is an ancient proverb which says, “God has given us two eyes that we might see much, and two ears that we may hear much; but He has given us but one tongue and that is fenced in with teeth to remind us that…

The English language almost seems to run out of adjectives to describe the blatant and absurd foolishness to which many in our society have fallen.  They are so bent on running away from God and anything resembling godliness or Biblical values that they run into an irrational, nonsensical and mindless abyss of darkness.  Someone might say that is an unfair charge and…

It could be argued that the most important piece of furniture in your home is the table. Many of the most important meetings in government, business and social life have happened around that same piece of furniture. What lessons can we learn from those moments around the table in the Bible? At David’s table we learn kindness. “David said to him, ‘Do…

This is our third look at John 1:17. “The Word became flesh and we beheld His glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” We looked first at the emphasis placed on God’s glory in the Bible.

For simple illustration purposes, answer this question: “How many sides does a coin have?”  That’s about as simple…

There is a center to our lives that gives us direction. Some place family, work, hobbies or self-awareness in that center. You could see where any one of those things could take you in various directions. What would happen if we were Christ-centered? To do that, we first have to die to ourselves (Gal. 2:20). We must die to sin (Rom. 6:1-4).…

John said that when the Word became flesh we beheld His glory and that His glory was full of grace (John 1:14). There is no way to separate God’s glory from His eternal grace and mercy. To look at the events in the life of Jesus is to see a mirror of heaven’s grace as revealed throughout the divine history of God’s…

Life doesn’t make sense sometimes.  Why must a little child contract a horrible disease like cancer?  Why should a parent have to bury his/her own child?  Why do teachers and those in authority take advantage of (often sexually) young children in their care?  Why does a gunman go into a church (of all places) and shoot innocent worshipers?  Why? There are some…
