Long, long ago, I remember my mom telling me all kinds of things to do that she thought would be for my good. “Put your coat on, otherwise you’re gonna get sick.” “Take your shoes off. I don’t want mud in the house.” “If you’re not home by ten, and…
A few days ago a friend of mine decided to get into an exchange with me over my apparent inability to find a church worth attending; he thought my expectations were “too high.” When I asked what he meant by my expectations being too high, he never really provided any…
Alright, here is some good news, at least for a vast majority of people, amid all the doom, gloom, and death being spread about by the secular and social media concerning the Corona virus “pandemic.” The Son of Man, Jesus Christ, is not about to return soon, to judge the…
There is a lot of senseless pandemonium going around these days in respect to both the Corona Virus and the potential end of the world. In fact, just the other day, I had a neighbor-lady ask me what I thought was coming next. “Is this the end?” But, as I…
Never in my lifetime, and that is no exaggeration, have I ever seen the world turned on its head like I have recently witnessed with the whole Corona Virus charade (and yes, it is a charade). What started in Wuhan, China has now swept the globe and in country-after-country its…

Since it was impossible for Jesus to lie, then what he told the highly religious Pharisee, Nicodemus, was true, not only about him, but about every human being—with the exception of Jesus—who expects to “rest in peace,” once he meets his appointment with death. “You must be born again!” There…
For the past month or so I have spent a considerable amount of time delving into the question of whether or not the Mormons, or members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (as they now like to “officially” calls themselves), believe in the Bible. Of course, they…
This question was posed, recently, by a Christian on Facebook and frankly, I still don’t quite understand it. But I thought that I would take a stab at it and provide my perspective on what I think it means and how it applies to me. First, “anti” can mean at…
