But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 2 Corinthians 4:7 Of course, we know that the “jars of clay” referred to above are our physical bodies that God created out of dirt when He designed Adam. Jesus, the only begotten […]
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 […]
Salty and Lit
Today, I ran across this short speech from last year by Elizabeth Johnson (“Activist Mommy”) where she said that the young people are now referring to positive things as “lit” (formerly “cool” or “neat”) and negative things as “salty.” I didn’t know those words had been hijacked along with many other words, such as “gay” […]
Love the Lord (Not Things Devoted to Destruction)
I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand. If anyone does not love the Lord, let that person be cursed! Come, Lord! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen. 1 Corinthians 16:21-24 We usually think of Paul blessing instead of cursing, don’t […]
Eating with Egyptians
(This article has been updated as of August 8, 2018.) I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people—not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But now I am […]
Do Not Lie To One Another
I saw a disturbing thing on Pinterest. I rarely look at it, but this pin immediately caught my eye. It said, “What if gays are a test from God to see if Christians will really love one another?” Wow! Yet another tactic from the devil–get people to question whether God is unhappy with them for […]
Letter to John MacArthur
As you know, I wrote an article last week regarding John MacArthur’s statement about repenting of the mark of the beast. I thought it was appropriate to write to him personally, which I did (by email to Grace to You, his ministry). My letter contains much of what I wrote in the previous article, but […]
This Just In
Please note: This article was edited for clarity and expanded upon 11/14/17, and minor updates were made in March, 2026 (so if you read it before then, there have been changes made which might interest you.) And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its […]
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. […]
