The season of giving is upon us. Well, at least for the many who celebrate a version of Christmas. Regardless of the true origins of the day, it still results in giving.

Be Careful of Only Studying the Bible Forensically
This is how it usually goes with studying the Bible. New Christians read the Bible and discover all the wonderful events and people of God’s Holy Word. Stories told in younger years of Noah and the Ark and miracles God performed through Moses as the Hebrews were delivered from the bondage under pharaoh are now …

Building a Better System?
Human beings keep building better systems. We make things bigger, stronger and better than previous versions. We discover innovative ways to manipulate natural elements into things that help to make our lives better. Consider ancient bridges over bodies of water that were crudely constructed of wood.

In the title there is a little “g” used in the word “god.” This was done on purpose because the “god” of this world (2 Cor 4:4) is the devil, and he is nothing more than a created being. He is not God in any way, shape or form. Since the purpose of this article …

Scripture records that Satan five times declared what he was going to do, and it got him cast out of heaven. In Isaiah 14:12-17 we read that he said: 1. I will ascend into heaven . . . 2. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God . . . 3. I will …

Souvenirs
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines souvenir as “something that serves as a reminder.” In the fall of 2012 I was privileged to be able to go on a trip to Olcott, New York. We stayed in a cottage next to the Newfane Marina. I was within a short walk of Lake Ontario. My father-in-law paid for …

Fear
Fear is just plain awful. I really cannot think of a better word to describe it. As believers in Jesus for our salvation, we know that fear is not of God. The apostle Paul tells young pastor Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:7, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, …

Jesus is Lord!
Follow the Word and see . . . First the Psalm. Make a mental note of the words/phrases, “heathen, “kings,” “rulers” “Thou art my son,” “rod of iron” and “Kiss the Son.” Notice that “Son” is capitalized. David is prophesying of Jesus the Christ, the Holy One of God. “Why do the heathen rage, and …
