THE OLD MAN AND THE DOG.

The Old Man and the Dog:  Written by Catherine Moore.           "Watch out! You nearly broad sided that car!" My father yelled at me.    "Can't you do anything right?"   Those words hurt worse than being punched in the nose. I turned my head toward the old man in the seat beside me, daring me to challenge him. A lump rose in my throat as I averted my eyes. I wasn't prepared for another battle with him.     "I saw the car, Dad. Please don't yell at me when I'm driving." My voice was measured and steady, sounding far calmer than I really felt.                   Dad glared at me, then turned away and settled back. At home I left Dad in front of the television and went outside to collect my thoughts. Dark, heavy clouds hung in the air with a promise of rain. The rumble of distant thunder seemed to echo my inner turmoil. W...

DEATH AND TAXES - BOTH ARE INEVITABLE!

YOU WILL DIE! IF YOU DO NOT KNOW JESUS WHEN YOU DIE, YOUR DEATH WILL BE ETERNAL! It is a fact.   10 out of 10 people will die.   You just never know when it is going to happen.   There is no alternative to this fact. So, what can you do?   Do you just need to accept this fact?   The simple answer to these questions is, “You need to know and believe in Jesus. The Word of God tells us, “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him,” (John 3 : 36 ). We are all sinners and as sinners we can never have everlasting life unless our sins are forgiven.   The only way to do that is through the saving grace of Jesus Christ. “…sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, ...

On the one hand is money and on the other, wisdom . Money can help one avoid and even preserve a person f...

Christians Need to Set Their Minds On Heavenly Things.

  Spiritual Focus   Colossians 3:2 (2) Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. New King James Version     Change your email Bible version   Paul is telling us where the focus of our attention needs to be. We can give our minds over to a lot of things, for instance, to our jobs - and there is a place for that. We can give our minds over to physical things - exercise, eating well, and so forth - and there is a place for these, too. Indeed, humans need to set their minds on many things, but they need to be prioritized correctly - put into the right niche and position . Then each of these things has to be seen in relation to the Kingdom of God . Our priorities must be set according to this standard - the overriding goal of our Christian lives. "Set your mind on things above" adjusts the focus of our attention so that we do not become distracted by things that are less important for any longer than needed, so that the...

IS THE OLD TESTAMENT RELEVANT TODAY?

Image
This question can be logically answered in the Word of God.  When Christ was teaching he told the people to "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me" (John 5:39). "The Jews considered that eternal life was revealed to them in their Scriptures, and that they had it, because they had the word of God in their hands. Jesus urged them to search those Scriptures with more diligence and attention....They did indeed search the Scriptures, but it was with a view to their own glory..." ( https://www.biblegateway.com/resources/commentaries/Matthew-Henry/John/John-5-39-44 ). They searched but, because they were seeking "their own glory", they could not then and do not to this day see Jesus Christ as the messiah.  On the surface, that is what this scripture is referring to, the religious Jewish authorities questioning His claim to be the Messiah. But there is a message here that goes deeper than th...
