In God we trust.
I find I still have trouble with idols. Anything we put our trust in above Jesus becomes an idol for us. For me I always fall back on trusting money, or not trusting when there is lack of it. I came across a verse in Isaiah that spoke to me about this problem. …
Why did God respect Abel’s offering and not Cain’s?
The Bible says God had respect to Abel’s offering of the firstling of his flock, but had not respect to the offering of Cain when he offered the fruit of the ground. Why would God make such a distinction? It might appear as if God is not just, and arbitrarily chooses to have respect or …
Does God reward our good behavior, and punish our bad behavior?
I still find myself, at times, stumbling over that stumbling stone, the grace of Jesus. Why would a Christian say such a thing? A Christian can backslide by abandoning his or her morals, and getting caught up in the world, and the lust of the flesh. A Christian can also backslide by abandoning the righteousness …
Entering the Kingdom of God.
We need to enter the Kingdom of God, to walk in the power of God. But how can we enter God’s Kingdom here on earth? One might think long hours of meditation and prayer might be the path to follow. Many eastern religions would certainly say that meditation is a path to higher enlightenment. Is …
Can we feel younger as we grow older?
Is it possible to grow older, and yet feel younger? Man has been in search for the fountain of youth since time began.

Coexist
We have all seen the bumper sticker or logo that features all the religions of the world, and spells out the word, coexist. This sounds like a wonderful, utopian idea. If only all the religions of the world could emphasize their similarities, and stop focusing on their differences, perhaps we could have peace and security. …
God is not punishing sinners at this time.
God is not judging and condemning people or nations for their sins at this time. I recently heard a preacher on the radio state, if God does not punish the United States for its sins, he owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology. People and nations seem to be sinning more openly and brazenly then ever, …
You can be saved, Now!
God wants you to accept his free gift of salvation, right now. You do not need to be in a certain frame of mind, or a particular place in life, all you have to do is ask and receive. It is also important to know, you do not have to be right with God to receive salvation. Do …
Mixing grace with the law.
It is important to remember as Christian’s we are under the new testament covenant of grace, and not mix the free gift of grace with the law.
