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?

Christians – What are you wearing? Your Sunday best?
Christians – What are you wearing? Your Sunday best? Uh Oh. Is this going to be about wearing clothes that are “appropriate” for Christians? Like long dresses for women? Suits and ties for men? If that’s what you’re concerned about, don’t worry. I’m talking about something else entirely. Well, sort of. Something that really matters. Something that makes a difference.

Was Judas saved? Did God love him enough to forgive him?
Judas made the deal with the Jewish leaders that led to Jesus being arrested, and eventually dying on the cross. But, was Judas saved? Did God love Judas enough to forgive him? Those are questions that seem to come up quite a bit when talking about Judas. Of course, we won’t know for sure until the next life. After all, God can do anything, can’t He?

The Way Back Home
The Way Back Home. But the way back home from where? And to where? I first wrote this one back on October 25, 2013. I cried when I wrote it. It still makes me cry. Even when I hear this song now, it’s got a whole added meaning to it beyond the obvious words. And today, March 3, 2021, I’m publishing it again.
Get some kleenex, and see a deeper message in this amazing song – The Way Back Home.
Can Christians focus on Jesus now? Please?
Can Christians focus on Jesus now? Please?
We all realize murder is wrong.
What we don’t seem to realize, haven’t yet learned, is that every other unkind thing we do to each other is just as wrong!

Is abortion the only pro-life issue?
She doesn’t know what to do. She doesn’t really want to have an abortion. But doesn’t know what else to do, because the Christians are screaming at her to not have the abortion. But then if she has the baby, she also knows those many of those same Christians have, under the name of their political party, made it pretty much impossible for her to support the child. And, few of them will offer any kind of help.
Tell me. Who all sinned in that scenario?

What happens when there’s a failure in church leadership?
What happens when there’s a failure in church leadership? Actually, the better question is what should happen when there’s a failure in church leadership? The example we’ll look at is real. It happened. And it’s sure tempting to blame the Bishop. In fact, that’s pretty much what the New York Times article does. But there are deeper issues. Larger questions. One of them – how did this situation ever get to the point where $2.3 million dollars was spent on a home for a retiring Bishop?

The problem of Coexist – and – Love your enemy.
Coexist. Love your enemy. One is from man. The other from God. Can the two concepts actually “coexist”? What about hatred? Where does it fit in?
Coexist. OK – you had to know it wasn’t going to be as simple as just getting along with each other. True – even that is hard enough. But look at the image to the right. I haven’t seen it hardly at all lately, but it used to be a popular bumper sticker.

I will never forgive. But if you do not forgive …
We’ve also told Jesus that His death wasn’t good enough. Sure, we’ll quick to accept His death as payment for our own sins. But when we refuse to forgive, we’re saying that Jesus’ death of the cross wasn’t good enough to pay for the sin of the person that we’re refusing to forgive!

Wipe away every tear from their eyes: the greatest miracle?
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. This tells of a time when we won’t cry anymore. Will this be the greatest miracle in the Bible? Maybe that depends. For instance – who is being talked about here. Who’s eyes are their eyes? And what does wipe away every tear actually mean?
