The sign clearly reads… “55 MPH Speed Limit.” The overall majority of drivers, I would say at least 85 percent, judge that anything over 55 MPH up to about 59 is not going to be a problem so the unwritten speed limit is “55 MPH is Really 59 MPH Speed Limit.” SO… IF the signs […]
A Firm Foundation vs A Faulty Spire
Salisbury Cathedral is unique in Britain. The Cathedral was begun in 1220, and finished, with the exception of the tower and spire, in 1258. Ah, that spire, generations of artists with paintbrush or camera have attempted to capture its beauty rising above the water meadows of the River Avon. At 404 feet, it is the […]
Crumbling on the Dock
When I think of such situations that is the subject of this thread, mainly preacher hypocrisy, I recall an tidbit I once read concerning the Queen Mary – the vessel. The Queen Mary was the largest ship to cross the oceans when it was launched in 1936. Through four decades and a world War she […]
The More About Perfection We Grasp – The More About Imperfection We Fail To Grasp
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. Psalms 50:2 There existed a time in the history of mankind when the amount of darkness that could be lighted by the flame of candle light would have been understood as the ultimate amount and life revolved around that degree of enlightenment but with the […]
An Unconscious Conscious
1Ti 4:1-2 “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” Far too many people have an unconscious conscience. Most people seem to think that their conscience […]
Gospel Scammers…. they promise much…. but provide less…..
I’ve been both fascinated and frustrated about something for several years now. Have you noticed how companies are shrinking the size of their products while keeping the packaging the same? The result is less product while the price stays the same or goes up. Marketing experts argue that consumers are more sensitive to price changes […]
Division Is Only A Temporary Condition
I Cor. Chapter 5. Division cannot be thought of as a permanent condition, at least, not in the affairs of man. Division is only a temporary condition. It will not always allow the scales to remain at balance. Division is temporary because either one element of the division will be purged or the other element […]
My Friends – They Flavor My Life
(Thanking God for the gifts of friendship He put in my life) I sometimes, and more often than before, think of the value of friends as something that we don’t protect and cherish as much as we ought taking those relationships as just the common flow of life… but, with age, I have come to […]
An Inauspicious Entry and an Inhuman Exit for a King
Many preachers romanticize the birth of Jesus Christ beyond reality. They erect and present nativity scenes which have a way of making the birth of Jesus Christ more fairy tale than fairly told. What Jesus Christ, as God manifest in the flesh, endured at Bethlehem’s manger was to enter a world of harsh realities—a common, […]
The Real Christmas Story
— AT ONE MENT — Leviticus 16 outlines the work of Redemption in the Day of Atonement. John wrote in Revelation chapter thirteen and verse 8 that the Lamb of God “was slain from the foundation of the world.” Before God had created the world, before He set the stars in place, before He breathed […]
