The non-prodigal son
Lots of people know the story of the Prodigal Son. Even many non-Christians. But what of his brother? In Luke's Gospel, the parable of the Prodigal (lost) Son is 22 verses. Only five of them are about the "other" brother. I can't help but wonder though ...
Search me, know my heart, test me
Search me, know my heart, test me. Who would ever say these things?
Do you say them? Maybe you should. Ps 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. That's from Psalms. So if you're a Christian, you should ...

Where Are You?
Where Are You? You probably think "Where Are You" is a person asking God where He is. Wrong! Well - sort of wrong ...
Lord, you have been our dwelling place

Americans want to read the Bible more, but don’t.
Do you want to read the Bible more than you have in the past? If so, you're not alone. Have you been successful in reading the Bible more often? Then you are nearly alone.
That's very sad. Especially when you see what's coming in this article and in the rest ...
But before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you
"But before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you." This is something most Christians would have read. Hopefully, we also remember. But, do we really believe it? Maybe we believe it, as long as it's for someone else and not for us. You know -NIMBY - ...
