February 21, 2014. “Daniel answered the king and said, “No wise men, enchanters, magicians, or astrologers can show to the king the mystery that the king has asked, but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days.

A perspective on truth.
February 19, 2014. Today’s post might lean more towards logic and philosophy than you have been accustomed to when it comes to the subject of religion. Don’t be frightened, I’m not going to get too metaphysical or anything. However, I do believe that there is a certain amount of logic and reasoning that can be…
Final instructions.
February 16, 2014. The apostle Paul writes two letters to the disiples in Thesslonica, both of which are short and a good read. He does something that I find very interesting and unique at the end of the first letter, however. He gives some final instructions, but they seem rushed and compacted. It’s almost like…
Is your gospel the Gospel?
February 8, 2014. “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an…
Life’s most important question.
February 7, 2014. Ok, I’ve kept you in the dark about the other reasons I love Ecclesiasties so much for too long now (well, you probably didn’t really care that much, but it makes me feel better to say that). If you are just coming in now, you might want to read yesterday’s post first….

Three promises of Jesus.
January 27, 2014. “‘Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or…
What is truth?
January 26, 2014. There are many paths that man may take– all that will either bring good or harm. Yet each in his own path will find no alarm. There are many thinkers amongst the sons of men– ideas are woven and thoughts are formed. Yet to each clings his own, with others scorned. “What…
Searching for truth.
January 24, 2014. There are two things you never talk about with someone who may have a differing viewpoint than you if you want to get along: religion and politics; when you break it down, really it is just religion, as political stances are usually rooted in some form of religion, whether or not you…
Men of sincerity.
January 18, 2014. “For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God’s word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.” (II Cor. 2:17) Stop. Before you go on reading, read that statement again and dwell on it for three minutes. I will give…
