“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 is […]

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 […]
Wisdom From Above
Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, […]
Ears to Hear
“He who has ears, let him hear.” Matthew 13:9 The above verse is from the Parable of the Sower, which is about how various people respond to hearing the Good News of salvation through Jesus. If we read the whole chapter, we find that not everyone who hears and even accepts the Gospel will actually […]
A Parable: The Neglectful Fiancée
A young woman’s fiancé went to war, leaving her with his valuables before departing. He wrote many love letters to her while he was away.

Dreaming or Awake?
Don’t you hate it when you’re watching a show on television or at the movies—really into it—investing emotion into what’s transpiring, etc., only to have it revealed that it was all a dream? Or for Star Trek fans, sometimes it turns out to be a holodeck program. Sometimes it’s even a dream within a dream […]
Watchfulness!
I read this brief article today that pretty much sums up what this blog is about, so I thought I would share it. This American author lived from 1845-1923. Having seen some disturbing things written on the internet where “watchfulness” has been described as seeking out dates to set for the rapture, and sometimes through […]
Radical Love
“All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. […]
To Inherit or Not to Inherit
The reason I write about the topic of this article is that people have been deceived into thinking it’s okay. With some of the other things in the list in the Bible passage below, people KNOW they are wrong things to do, but sometimes do them without even realizing it–or they slip from time to […]
