Decades ago in his sermon, David Martyn Lloyd-Jones told his church, “This is an age of bewilderment, uncertainty and an age of fear.” He said, “The commonest way to show fear is to indulge in a riot of pleasure. It is nothing but a terrible spirit of fear and bewilderment.” More. “It’s pure escapism – …

Talker or Maker – Which One for You?
Informing me that he had a mind of his own, “therefore I can reason things out for myself,” the University student shared his views as to why he believed the Bible to be not only, “irrelevant in this age of modern science,” but also why those who do believe in it, “don’t have a mind of …
Near Death Experiences
Years ago as a Gospel messenger out on the streets of my community I was asked from time to time to give thoughts regarding those claiming to have died and gone to heaven or hell, then came back again. “I’ve just read a book about this woman who had a near death experience; fascinating!” they’d say. “Sounds like heaven …
The Me Crowd
Decades ago, a principled businessman said, “A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large.” Asked to compare work differences in her day with today, the much sought after studio musician of the 1950-60’s said, “Back then it was always us, us, us. Today it’s all about me, me, …
The Arrogant Atheist
A well-known British atheist and entertainment personality was recently asked what he would say if he came face-to-face with God. Response: “I’ll say: bone cancer in children, what’s that about? How dare you; how dare you create a world where there is such misery that is not our fault? It’s not right. It’s utterly, utterly evil. …
This Grand Problem
The politician was asked on National Television if he believed in God and quickly he replied, “No.” However, he was equally quick to use the words, “morally wrong” and “heartless” when accusing his political opponent on asylum seekers and climate change. His opponent said he did believe in God, but failed to take the godless man to task over …
So What’s the Story with this Old Heretic and Fool?
I see yet another “church” representative has come out of the woodwork to bring us the tired old mantra, “The Bible is not the word of God; the Bible contains the word of God.” This time it is being “sung” by a 93 year-old sodomite-sympathizing Italian Roman Catholic priest. Surprise! Surprise! Never mind that the Bible itself says, All Scripture …

God’s Universal Absolutes
A question thinking people ask at some point in their life: “Why do people hate the Jews?” A disciplined study of both Testaments of the Bible reveals the only meaningful answer. 1) God revealed Himself to the world through the Jews. 2) The Jews are the chosen people of God. 3) God gave us the Scriptures through the Jews. …
How Did It Get To This?
“How did it get to this?” That’s the nagging question on the lips of thinking, concerned people who once lived in a time when, “it was not like this.” Not like what? Corruption in high places and low places across the nations. Immoral, unethical and unprincipled political candidates, current politicians, legal people, businessman, big bankers etc. Society’s indifference …
Political Correctness is the Bastard Child of isms
“Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me.” True with the first part, false with the second part! “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.” Same again – true and false! These old adages may have been effective restraints upon people when written back in the 1860’s, when society’s values …
