Jesus said, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged” (Mt 7:1). Jesus condemns rash, unfair, unjust, unkind and incorrect judging. A man has a plank in his eye who is condemning another who has a small speck in his eye! It
Scientists search the heavens and earth for information that will increase man’s knowledge of the physical world. Knowledge of God and His workings as seen in nature is called “Natural Theology.” By observing the heavens and the earth, we must conclude that a Higher Power exists. Paul writes: “The invisible things of him (God) since
Death is a separation. Last week, we observed that the death of an infant occurs when their body and spirit separate and its body returns to the dust (the grave) and the spirit returns to God in paradise. Scriptures were also shown that proves the age of innocence terminates when a young person reaches an
Maintaining faithfulness in times of prosperity and while away from home can be a challenge. Daniel and his three young friends kept their faith in God in a foreign land, Babylon. They were captives where there were 53 temples and 80 altars and all kinds of ‘dainties’ being offered to idols. But Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach

The day known as Father’s Day was first organized in 1910 by Sonora Dodd of Spokane, WA. It was not until 1966 that president Lyndon Johnson proclaimed it a national holiday to honor fathers. Celebration is often with alcoholic spirits. The day known as the Lord’s Day was first mentioned by the apostle John as
Mr. R. has trouble with God being good and also having wrath. Many Bible passages affirm God is both good and severe (Romans 11:22; Revelation 6:16-17). God’s wrath is mentioned throughout the Bible, yet it is rarely heard in pulpits of modern churches. Sinful man has convinced himself that God’s sole attribute is love. Wrath
Christians are repeatedly told to “Listen to what the Spirit is saying.” (Revelation chapters 2 and 3) Is that what we are doing? What are we listening to? The president, the Democrats, the Republicans, CBS, Fox news, Sportscasters, Oprah, Limbaugh, ad infinitem? Henry David Thoreau said: “If a man does not keep pace with his
The book of Psalms is the most popular portion of the Bible for many. Its 150 chapters were written by David (about half of them), Solomon, Asaph, and a few others. The Holy Spirit inspired them all, as well as “all” other scriptures (2 Tim 3:16-17). The Psalms speak of many subjects, and is sometimes
