What’s Missing in Your Life?
What’s Missing in Your Life? I imagine that’s a question many people ask. More than once. But how often do we give ourselves a good answer?

The Bible and “Real Life”
Posts examining real life issues and questions from a Biblical point of view
Do you want to believe the Bible is true?
Some people ask, “How do we know the Bible is true?” Some Christians will say, “Of course it is”. But hey – that’s not really an acceptable answer for someone who’s asking, “Is the Bible true?”, is it? My first thought after hearing that is, “Do you want to believe the Bible is true?”

Can we have faith in God if we want to know everything?
I was just beginning to write about – no kidding – in the beginning. I’m getting stuff from both a Jewish and Christian point of view. And then it hit me. Can we have faith in God if we want to know everything? Can we reach a point where our need to know everything brings us to a point where faith means little to nothing?

Who should Christians hate vs who do Christians hate?
Who should Christians hate? Who do Christians hate? Wouldn’t it be nice if the answer to both questions was no one? Obviously, unless you’re living under a rock, they aren’t. But then, you know that, because if you were living under a rock you probably don’t have good internet service and aren’t reading this.

No one would ever agree to this would they? Maybe One?
The story below is totally fictional. Maybe. Nothing even remotely like this could ever happen. No one would ever agree to this. I don’t think. It’s based on a true story. Although that last statement can’t be proven, I believe it’s true. It’s almost beyond belief. And yet…

Does Jesus want to carry us when times are tough?
Does Jesus want to carry us when times are tough? This question is like those tests where we’re supposed to pick the “best” answer. And “yes” is not the best answer! I used to think it was, but I learned that it really isn’t. There is one answer that’s better – although there are several answers that could start with “no, He wants …”
Curious? Confused?
Let me try to help straighten out this question.

Why is it so hard for us to not be afraid?
So many times the Bible tells us to not be afraid. That probably means nothing to non-Christians. But for us Christians, if God keeps telling us, “don’t be afraid”, then why is it so hard for us to not be afraid?

Would you leave 99 to save one? Or go for the greater good?
Would you leave 99 to save one? 99 what and one what? 99 people and one person. In a time when we always hear about the greater good, would you do that? When we’re so willing to sacrifice a few to save many, can this 99 for 1 kind of thinking be justified?

How evil will we become before Jesus returns?
How evil will we become before Jesus returns? The Bible says our thoughts are only evil all the time. And it sounds bad. And yet, it’s generic. But when we get right down to the kinds of evil we perpetrate and even pass laws to allow them to continue, I can’t help but wonder. Just how evil do we have to get before Jesus returns to earth. Not as our means of salvation. Instead, quite the opposite. As our final judge and conqueror.

Are The Gates of Hell Locked From The Inside?
Are The Gates of Hell Locked From The Inside? The first time I wrote about this, I said yes. The second time, I updated it to say yes, but I thought some Christians can’t relate to the concept of not wanting to be with God. This time, many years later, I’m not sure some (many?) Christians even know what it means to be with God.
