What if we’re on the way to Heaven – and we have to take a detour? A trip to Hell. Some think the Bible says Jesus went to Hell during the time between His death on the cross and His resurrection on the third day – what we now know as Easter. So why not us?

All dogs go to Heaven, don’t they? It probably sounds like a strange question for my site about God and religion. Well, not really. It’s actually very relevant, at least to me. And maybe you’ll think it is for you also.

Jesus healed a leper. Why was more required? Do you remember? But if he was healed, why did Jesus tell him to go see a priest? The event is recorded in three of the Gospels. And they all tell it pretty much the same way. All three leave us with questions. Why did the healed man have to go see a Jewish priest? Why was that necessary? And to make it even more odd, Jesus told the man not to tell anyone how he was healed! What’s going on?

Everything happens for a reason at that time _____. I was adding what I thought was a simple side note to an article. It turned out to not be simple at all. So it became its own thing. It’s a look at the impact of three short words. Only ten letters and a couple spaces.

Are you searching for hope but not finding it? The bottom line is that “many” Americans are searching for something that Americans “overwhelmingly” believe is in the Bible. However, even as that’s happening, they also think the country is going downhill. What does that mean?

Who were the other two men on the crosses with Jesus? They were us. You and me. They were everyone who has ever heard the name of Jesus. It’s a simple story. Quite short. Twelve verses. In Luke’s Gospel. And yet, it tells the story of every one of us. Let’s see why it’s so important that we know their story. And through them, our story.

Does going to church make you feel good? Going to church and feeling like we just had a good cup of coffee really shouldn’t make us feel the same way. Either we’re way too focused in on coffee, or we’re really not that into going to church!

Who is the Holy Spirit? Is He the Spirit of the Father? Or maybe the Spirit of the Son? Does it matter? And is it “who” or “what”? So many questions! And it’s tempting to just ignore them. Or assume they don’t really matter. Just call it/him the Spirit of God and be done with it. And yet, the Holy Spirit is one of the three “persons” of God. And so, it is important to know what we can about Him.
Is the Holy Spirit the Spirit of the Father or the Spirit of the Son More
Was casting lots really used to determine God’s will? Yes, it was really done. Before we assume this is like playing the dice in Vegas, we need to put ourselves back in time. Back to Biblical times. When God interacted more directly with His people. And dare I say, when God’s people interacted more directly with Him. So before we cast dispersions on the practice of casting lots, let’s look back.
