Perhaps one of the things that has grieved me the most over the years is a reality I have seen in the Body of Christ – something of which both myself and my wife were guilty as charged. This something seems to be everywhere now that I ask around and now that I’m actively looking. The reason it is so…

Freedom from the Annoyance of Time
Ever felt you can’t focus on someone or something because something is scheduled? In my case, I was trying to focus on God Almighty and I kept becoming aware that I only had a half an hour before I had to start getting ready for work. That ain’t natural, and that ain’t the way it’s supposed to be. So I…
Should Unbelievers Join Believers in Worship?
Frankly, this topic is a tough one which has recently occupied much of my thoughts. The two conflicting issues are as follows: Does the presence of an unbeliever during times of fellowship hinder the power and holiness of God (a kind of quenching)? Do we remain totally open and let any polite person sit in our midst regardless of their…
The Most Relevant Documentary of Our Age
I’ve seen a lot of documentaries, a lot of conspiracies, a lot of interesting things. Nothing comes close to the importance and relevance of this one.
Time to End the Weak Christianese
Something happened today. I got an email from someone I know who in normal times doesn’t not freely speak of God or His word. When in person it would be a rare occasion to talk about the riches of the Bible or what God is doing in our lives. Then, randomly I got this well-meaning email forward from here which…
Is Christmas Good or Bad?
As part of my ongoing ‘battle against the spirit of christmas‘ which started years back now, I continue to dig in deeper each year. This year the fire was truly kindled when our family decided that we may not go to our church’s ‘christmas service’ next week as a form of ‘personal separation’ (call it protest if you want but…
Aliens Among Us
The existence of aliens has been debated for a long time. It’s time to end the debate. Aliens are real – and they are among us today. However, the true aliens have escaped us because of those deceptive fake aliens (those green things on TV and in the movies). It is the goal of the fake aliens to make us…
How to Gauge your Christian Life
It’s a fact that there are just a few lines to carve into your gravestone or fit into your obituary in the back of your local newspaper. So what would it say about you? What would you hope it would say about you? As a Christian (I prefer the term ‘disciple’ and ‘believer’ so we’ll be switching effective now, by…
What Happened to the Salty Pillar Witness in Genesis 19?
If Lot’s wife was turned into a pillar of salt for looking back, what happened to the witness who saw it? When I read my Bible sometimes stuff really comes alive and I’m right there in the situation. In this particular case, in Genesis 19, I was running away from Sodom and Gomorrah just before fireballs from heaven rained down…
Does God Simply Bless Those Who Believe With Financial Blessings?
If we are faithful to ‘live a Christian life’, does God, in return, pour out His heavenly blessings on us? The answer is “it depends”. Depends on what, you ask? I’m glad you asked. It depends on two things: God’s will and our hearts and the two are directly connected. Today I was in my daily Bible Power Hour (I…
