Psalm 73 Every one of us have faced adversity and hardship at one time or another.   Sometimes trials and difficulties are of our own making. We often bring trouble on ourselves.

I can’t say if I was close to dying or not. Only God can answer that question. I do know I was sick, very sick, so much so, that I had to be hospitalized. I was diagnosed with pneumonia in mid-January but tested negative for Covid at that time. But by the last week of […]

From the second chapter of Genesis beginning with verse 15:  The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.  And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of […]

I think we can all agree that we’re living in very volatile and troubling times right now. There’s a lot of anger, a lot of hatred, and a lot of division in the world. You can’t miss it. All you have to do is turn on the news or go to any social media site. […]

I want to state upfront that this in no way is intended to discourage church attendance. I strongly urge everyone to become part of a good Bible believing church where Jesus Christ is taught, and that will require discernment, prayer, and a little homework on the part of the believer. The Bible does tell us […]

From time to time, a question comes up that’s often asked, not just by people in the secular world, but by Christians in the church as well. The questions is: Since Jesus was born and walked the earth some 2000 years ago, and people were on the earth long before Jesus, how were people saved […]
