Every few years, another round of the debate comes up between Creation and evolution. Ever since Darwin’s Origin of Species, Christians have been in the fight of their lives over whether or not God created the universe. The definitive answer takes faith no matter what side of the debate you are on. I contend that it… Continue reading 11/22/16: Creation vs. Evolution

11/21/16: About Faithfulness
Proverbs 28:20 says, “ A faithful man will abound with blessings, but he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished” (NKJ). Proverbs get right to the point, and so will I. Faithful: ’emuwnah (em-oo-naw’) in Hebrew means firmness, security; moral fidelity, stability, and truth. Man: ‘iysh (eesh) in Hebrew usually means a man… Continue reading 11/21/16: About Faithfulness
8/11/16: That’s My God at Work!
On one of our vacations, my husband and I decided to wing it with only a map and a full tank of gas. We were in the San Francisco area, and since I had never crossed the Golden Gate Bridge, we took off to make that happen. Traffic was horrendous, but we finally made it… Continue reading 8/11/16: That’s My God at Work!
8/8/16: Change Your Mind
No, our salvation does not depend upon us. Jesus supplied the way for us to get to God without our doing anything to earn it. He did it all; however, like a beautifully gift-wrapped present, salvation will remain elusive to us unless we know about it and lay hold of it. Laying hold of salvation… Continue reading 8/8/16: Change Your Mind
7/24/16: Live By What We Testify
Have you ever heard people proclaim one thing and then watch them practice something totally different? For example, a person might proclaim that it’s utterly wrong to lie, yet at tax time, that same person’s practice is to hide income so as not to pay the government his/her fair share. A person might say she… Continue reading 7/24/16: Live By What We Testify
7/22/16: Give Your Defense and Move On
When Paul returned to Jerusalem in Acts chapter 21, “…all the elders were present. When he had greeted them, he told in detail those things which God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry. And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord. And they said to him, “You see, brother, how many myriads of Jews… Continue reading 7/22/16: Give Your Defense and Move On
3/4/16: Change Your First Reaction
What’s your first reaction when a problem arises? Some of us call somebody – a friend, the pastor, our mother – to talk things through, bounce off ideas, or know someone is on our side. Others turn inward to isolate themselves from the world until the pain or the issue eases up a bit. Some… Continue reading 3/4/16: Change Your First Reaction
3/3/16: Understanding Compassion
Certain events happen in our lives by which we mark time. In other words, our present daily lives begin to pivot around that particular happening from the past. This naturally should be the case concerning landmark days such as our wedding and the birth of a child. However, traumatic experiences can have the same… Continue reading 3/3/16: Understanding Compassion
3/2/16: Is What We Have, What We Need?
In Genesis chapter 43, Joseph’s brothers found themselves in a bind. The land was still experiencing a grave famine and they had run out of the food they’d bought from Egypt on their first trip. When their father told them to go back to buy more, they reminded him that they couldn’t go without taking… Continue reading 3/2/16: Is What We Have, What We Need?
2/27/16: See and Speak
Here in America, we don’t often hear stories about demon possession or oppression unless we’re watching a Hollywood production. We have relegated demons to the silver screen. Actually, we somewhat enjoy being spooked for an hour and a half as the actors think it’s a good idea to spend the night in a deserted… Continue reading 2/27/16: See and Speak
