Wonder why I keep beating the same drum about how children of God should behave like it if they are serious (and not call themselves by His name if they’re not – 2 Tim. 2:19)? Because in the Bible, God gave us a picture of what it means to belong to Jesus. When we are […]

Your Team
As I write, baseball and softball seasons are in full swing. Earlier, people picked the members to play on their teams, put in countless hours of practice, and so on. Perhaps some who previously played for one team are now playing for another. Things change constantly in this world, including in sports, so we never […]
Be Angry and Do Not Sin
Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. Ephesians 4:26-27 People prefer to only remember Jesus by how mild mannered and loving He was, but there were times when He did get angry. Can you name the two times that […]
Robots
I always say that if God wanted robots, He would have made them–but He didn’t. He gave us free will–which we LOVE when we are getting our way and HATE when others are getting their way that negatively affects us. But another thought about robots is this: How could a robot possibly be made in […]
Time to Wake Up!
There often seem to be two camps among professed believers in regard to repentance, and they are opposite extremes. One side says that we must work for salvation, or if not, that work is still required to keep it. The other side says that we don’t work for salvation and neither is anything else required […]

I saw a disturbing thing at Walmart yesterday. They had two magazines side by side. One with Emma Watson dressed as Belle and the other with the Virgin Mary. Both of their heads were facing slightly downward and to the right. The resemblance of the composition of each picture was extremely noticeable. Is this just […]
Put on Christ
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, […]
His Anointing
I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. But the anointing that you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as His anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as He has taught you, […]
Called To Repentance (Bait and Switch)
It has become popular again (everything happens again, as Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 1:9) to say that repentance is not a requirement to be saved. That’s not what the Bible actually says, though. If you would like to see why I believe that, please feel free to read my article on Layout for Today. I […]
