The Sign
“I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that […]
Just a Heads Up
I have updated my devotional written in 2014-2016 and last updated in 2018. You can read it (and download two different style formatting versions) here.
Is Ignorance Bliss?
I would like to address some very disturbing things that have been said in the public forum by people claiming to know God. I’ll take them in reverse chronological order—starting with the most recent. I know there are many, many shocking things being said every day, but for that very reason, I can’t tackle them […]
In Defense of Paul
As I sometimes do, I’d like to share with you a topic that I recently discussed with someone. (This article doesn’t really fit in with my other blog very well, but you can download the pdf there if you like. The newest articles are at the bottom of the list.) My intention is that those […]
A Word to Those Who are Wise in Their Own Eyes
Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him. Proverbs 26:12Let me be frank and to the point. Getting what you think you want is not always a good thing. Sometimes, usually after it’s too late, there are deep, heart-wrenching regrets. Just […]

They carefully instilled biblically moral values in them. They set a good example. They had every reason to expect that their efforts would […]
Temple of God
This article was extensively edited, including the title, on April 29, 2019. Hopefully we all know from reading our whole Bibles for ourselves that each believer’s body in this age is the temple/dwelling place of God. (1Cor. 3:16-17, 6:14-20, 2Cor. 1:22, 6:16, Eph. 2:22, 3:16-17, Gal. 6:8, Rom. 8:9-14, 1Thess. 4:7-8, 1John 3:24, 4:13, 2Tim. […]
Hated “Haters”
Paul would surely have been convicted of hate speech if he lived in our day in some parts of the world—maybe England or Canada? Coming soon to America? He told it “like it is,” but not because of being “mean” or “hateful.” He wanted people to have their eyes opened instead of living in blindness. […]
