The Arizona Supreme Court ruled that a near-total abortion ban from 1864 is enforceable. Some will question, it is constitutional? But my question goes to a higher level – are abortion bans the Christian thing to do?
Are abortion bans the Christian thing to do?

Hearing is good. Understanding is better. Action is needed! Sometimes we think knowledge is good. But what do we do with knowledge for the sake of knowledge? We can gain information by hearing something. It can turn into knowledge if we understand it. But it becomes useful when we act on it.

Hamas attacked Israel. Many people will immediately wonder if this is the beginning of the end of the world. Can The End Times be forced? Jesus said we can’t know when. But can we force God to start fulfilling the prophecies about The End Times? Seven years ago, I wrote “Are Muslim and Christian “jihadists”

In the beginning. Or maybe shortly after the beginning. Either way, at some point, the earth was formless and empty. What does that mean? Was it the beginning or not? Is there any significance to formless and empty?

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?

Predestiny and free will are two choices given to us by Christian denominations. By people, really. Those who influence what denominations believe about what God said. But are they choices given to us by God? You know, the One who gave the words to the people who actually wrote the books in the Bible? What if God’s words, not men’s words, say that predestiny is about the free will choices we make? We begin with Calvinist core beliefs.
Is predestiny about who we are or free will choices? Calvinist beliefs. More
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.

I believe in God. That’s a common answer when someone is asked, “Do you believe in God?” But, is that really true? I’ve been amazed by survey results that appear to show a belief in God but then has so many contradictions in the questions that follow. That’s the reason for the second part of the title – “Yes. I think. Don’t I?”
Do you believe in God? Yes. I think. Don’t I? More
Oppression of the weak in this world almost seems like a global sport. If you’re like me, you feel like it’s worse than ever. But is it? Oppression of the weak isn’t new. It’s been around for as long as there’ve been people.

We move on to the fifth of the seven letters in Revelation. We’re on the home-stretch. This time the letter to the dead church in Sardis. Jesus has very little in the way of good things to say about the church in Sardis. And, of course, bad things. In this church, the examination will again be about the relationships between the good and bad statements. But this time, Jesus very clearly points out the differences to the church. And therefore, to us as well.
