5 Keep this mental attitude in YOU that was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God. ~ Php 2:6 (NWT) For those who don’t recognize it, the New World Translation…
"Then the man who had received the one talent came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See,…
Well, today is supposed to be a day about “love”, but is it really? Dr Bob Thiel (aka, COGWriter) recently wrote about the “Pagan Origins of Valentine’s Day” and today responds to a Christianity Today article on the topic in “CT: Worldly ‘Christianity’ and Valentine’s Day”. Not only should we…
As far as the comment, "any relationship having rules" is concerned, I agree on a human plane that is true. On the God plane, I do not agree with that and you probably believe the same thing. As far as I can tell from the Bible, God the Father needs…

The good ol’ Washington Post recently took on the subject of “Is God’s wrath at work in natural disasters?” As you might expect, it pits one side against the other and misses the point. Don’t get me wrong. There have been such things as God stepping in and deliberately causing…
