Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture How can the presence of God be described: 2 of 26
This is the best part of knowing Jesus Christ. I am never alone. He is always with me. I relish this. The Lord Jesus also relished this. One day as he told his disciples that he was going to suffer death for us, he told them "a time is coming, when you will be scattered, each to his own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Understanding why there is suffering in the world: 5 of 54
The Purpose of Suffering Suffering? Lonely? Misunderstood, maligned, and criticized unjustly? Did Jesus ever experience this? YES. Knowing this will help you understand why you suffer even though you are a Christian trying to faithfully follow Jesus. He doesn't just lead us over high ground on smooth trails. God is developin...

"Liberty Limited" "It is wrong for you to cut your hair so short. You have a boy's hair cut!" "It is wrong for you to have a TV. You are corrupting your home!" How do you handle that? You know your hair is beautiful and feminine, and that there is nothing wrong with having a TV if you control it. We have heard how sinful the... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Why should Christians love their enemies: 2 of 16
The day before Good Friday is called "Maundy Thursday." It is the day of Christ's great mandate. That day, after He had washed His disciples' feet, He said, "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another" (John 13:34) If I were to ask you who you loved, I am sure you would answ... More..

Entranced With You (To my dear wife on your 50th year and in our 30th year.) Once I was entranced By the newness of romance As I gazed into your eyes Or I missed you with my sighs.

Bible study: The Bible and Me The Bible is the Word of God. What does that have to do with you? What does its being the Word of God mean to you? I once heard Dr. Don Jennings say "You can be as doctrinally straight as a gun barrel and be as spiritually empty as a gun barrel." There needs to be more than your just saying that... More..

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one l...

Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Is God an invention of man's mind or true being?: 22 of 121
Today I experienced a curious combination of events. I read an article on the Internet mocking the Biblical story of God using Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, the crossing of the Red Sea on dry ground, and the drowning of the Egyptian army's charioteers when they tried to follow.
