One Sunday morning Jesus appeared in all the churches. He showed up simultaneously on a million big screens. Some churches were in the middle of a song when his face popped up and the music went quiet, like someone had unplugged all the cords at the sound booth. Bands and singers across America stopped singing,Continue reading “I Dreamed That God Was Coming to Judge My Enemies. And I Was Happy! Amos 2:5.”

Spiritualism, Mediums, and the Occult. 2 Kings 1:6.
I found these business offerings on Yelp: Palm readers. Tarot cards. Ouija board readings. Crystal balls. Horoscopes. Hypnosis. Supernatural Readings. Psychic Consultants. Witchery. Manifesting with a Life Coach. Conjuring. Voodoo. These businesses thrive in our modern world. In an age of Enlightenment and Science, you might have guessed these relics of an age ofContinue reading “Spiritualism, Mediums, and the Occult. 2 Kings 1:6.”
The Inauguration and the Wisdom of Solomon: 2 Chronicles 1:8-10.
One of my friends from law school founded a politically oriented non-profit and was invited to attend the inauguration this week. He took his three teenaged children and his mother and even the kids seemed to understand that this was the trip of a lifetime. I have followed his posts on Facebook, and Jonathan, wearingContinue reading “The Inauguration and the Wisdom of Solomon: 2 Chronicles 1:8-10.”
King David Pours His Heart Out to God: Reading the Psalms as a Journal Entry.
David could hear the crowd before he could see them. The streets of Jerusalem were crowded with well-wishers, children, and families, all of them cheering. The king had seen it so many times before. He was surrounded by his people: runners out front, then his sons on black horses, and then David, riding a hugeContinue reading “King David Pours His Heart Out to God: Reading the Psalms as a Journal Entry.”
On Races and Racism. Genesis 10:32.
“These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations; and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood” Genesis 10:32. Any thinking Christian should realize the conflicts inherent in racism. First, we know God made everyone and Jesus died for everyone. Remember the song, “JesusContinue reading “On Races and Racism. Genesis 10:32.”
HOW CAN JESUS CLAIM TO BE THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN? Acts 4:12.
If God provided a way for sinners to be rescued, why are people so unhappy about it? I have often heard people rail against Christianity for its claim to exclusivity: “How can you say Jesus is the only way, when there are millions of people around the world who never heard of Jesus?” The answerContinue reading “HOW CAN JESUS CLAIM TO BE THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN?

GOD CAN OVERCOME ANYONE. Ezra 1-3; Proverbs 21:1.
Image generated by A.I. Have you ever felt good things would come your way if someone were out of the way? Is someone keeping you from your destiny? There is no one God cannot move. No one can stand in God’s way. “The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of theContinue reading “GOD CAN OVERCOME ANYONE. Ezra 1-3; Proverbs 21:1.”
YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN. Matthew 5-7.
Official portrait of King Charles by Jonathan Yeo, revealed March 13, 2024. Royals have many titles.

JFK, the Moon Landing, the Flat Earth. 2 Timothy 2:23.
“Conspiracy Theory” is an apt phrase because it captures an idea for which no other phrase fits. But let’s use instead a phrase not invented by the CIA. Let’s use the broader language of “current events.” We all want to understand current events. Everyone wants answers: who started this war or that war? What roleContinue reading “JFK, the Moon Landing, the Flat Earth. 2 Timothy 2:23.”
