The article reads … Until the day he died, in 2011, Robert Ettinger hoped humanity would figure out a way to cheat death. Today, his body is stored in a cryonic vessel filled with liquid nitrogen and frozen to -196 degrees Celsius. He lies in cryopreservation at the Cryonics Institute in Michigan, which he founded, […]

The Apostles’ Creed (Part 26)
Many do not understand what it means for the body to be resurrected from the dead. How is it possible for my body that has been in the grace for so long and having decayed, be resurrected? How is it possible for my body that has been cremated and is ashes to be resurrected? How is […]
The Apostles’ Creed (Part 25)
Who told you that “naughty” was sin? I want to suggest that even as a toddler, without any comprehension about good and bad, sin and holiness, when you did wrong you knew you did wrong to the point where you felt bad about what you did. Before you understood the Biblical Doctrine of sin, depravity, […]
The Apostles’ Creed (Part 24)
I don’t know about you, but I am a person who needs to mix with other people on a regular basis. Maybe I could even take it further and say God made human beings to be in union or relationship with each other. That is, God did not create us to be hermits or loners […]
The Apostles’ Creed (Part 23)
Possibly thirty years ago, a lady in our church said to me … “Don’t you ever tell my son there is no Father Christmas or Easter Bunny!” The myth behind these two characters for children is that the one brings Presents at Christmastime and the other brings Easter Eggs on Easter Sunday. Theologically and doctrinally, […]
The Apostles’ Creed (Part 22)
When you are happy you can sing for joy! I recall as a boy heading towards becoming a teenager I loved to sing in the bath. My favorite song was from a radio advert about Lifebouy Soap. The lyrics were: “Singing in the bath tub, singing for joy, singing the life of Lifebouy!” When we […]
The Apostles’ Creed (Part 21)
Have you been promised a visit that did not materialize? This family member or longtime friend promised to come to your home and stay with you for a while. Did it ever happen? Are you still longing for that loved one to pitch in your door step? For three short years the Lord Jesus literally […]
The Apostles’ Creed (Part 20)
Who would you say is the most important person in the household? The father or the mother? Would it rock you if I said that father and mother are equal with father being the head of the home? What about the Godhead? Although many people never make much fuss about the Triune God by name, […]
The Apostles’ Creed (Part 19)
As a young boy, when I did something wrong, mom would say … “I’m going to tell your father when he gets home from work”. That scared me because dad was just over six foot and well built. In those days a policeman was respected and even feared because he was literally “the long arm […]
The Apostles’ Creed (Part 18)
One of the main topics making the news media viable is that of court cases. As a people, we want justice, even without knowing all the facts about the case or the people involved. Take Deputy Judge President Zondo’s first of three State Capture Report releases. Already we as a nation, who have been robbed […]
